Berlin and London-based firms collaborate to develop e-cargobikes

Berlin tech brand OnoMotion is teaming up with London-based company E-cargobikes to launch a brand new cargo e-bike model specifically for a more sustainable method of last-mile delivery.

The collaboration will make the cargo e-bikes available to buy for the first time in the UK. The next-gen ONO e-cargo bike will be debuted by the two companies at the London EV Show and will be available for test rides at the event as well.

Cargo e-bikes has been a growing trend across the globe as a more sustainable and zero-emission alternative to trucks for last-mile delivery services, especially in cities such as New York. 

OnoMotion’s co-CEO, Beres Seelbach, said:

“London and numerous other cities across the UK and Europe have implemented low-emission zones, meaning efficient and emission-free alternatives for package delivery are a must. We’re looking forward to bringing the ONO to the UK market and supporting the development of net zero delivery networks that improve both business and life quality in our cities.”

James FitzGerald, CEO of e-cargobikes.com, commented:

“We’re pleased to integrate the ONO into our London-based last-mile logistics services as well as our vehicle solutions for businesses across the UK. With swap-body technology and weather protection for riders, these vehicles significantly reduce turnaround time at warehouses, enabling more deliveries at a fraction of the energy use. This partnership is an exciting step towards enabling zero-carbon logistics for retailers and service providers countrywide.”
