Hermes Germany is testing two cargo bikes from the Berlin manufacturer citkar in Dresden and Leipzig. With the findings of the Hermes pilot test, citkar wants to bring a cargo bike tailored to the CEP industry onto the market.
“Especially in cities like Leipzig and Dresden with the high volume of traffic and the immense stopping density for our delivery staff, cargo bikes are simply a perfect addition to parcel delivery,” explains Martin Jugel, Last Mile Manager of the Leipzig Area at Hermes Germany.
The citkar “Loadster” model is equipped with the latest e-bike technology and is expanded to include modules from the automotive sector. The various modular structures such as cool boxes or an additional trailer meet all expectations of a future-oriented, environmentally friendly commercial vehicle. And this can even be driven without a license. In addition, especially in large cities, the cargo bike can reach a speed that is difficult to achieve by car.
