We launched our new report Sharing the Load: the potential of e-cargo bikes.

Van emissions have grown significantly in the UK in recent decades and modal shift options need to be more widely understood if they are to contribute to van fleet decarbonisation. In this report, we examined the attitudes of key van drivers to better understand their opinions on their current vehicles as well as e-cargo bikes as a potential modal shift opportunity.

This event took place on Thursday 1st December outside our offices at Millbank Tower, London, and included the opportunity to take a closer look and try out some example e-cargo bikes. A light breakfast was then offered in our offices on the 18th floor and guests heard a set of short talks from first hand users and policy experts.

Speakers:

• Chair: Helena Bennett, head of climate policy at Green Alliance
• Johann Beckford, policy adviser at Green Alliance
• Shane Topley, plumber and e-cargo bike user
• Alix Stredwick, founding director CarryMe Bikes
