Amazon has opened a micromobility hub in Norwich, Norfolk to complete last-mile deliveries with electric cargo bikes.
This is part of Amazon’s 300 million GBP investment to electrify and decarbonise its UK transportation network.
Connor Ashford, Senior Delivery Station Manager at Amazon in Norwich said:Our new electric cargo bikes are part of Amazon’s commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions across our operations by 2040, ten years ahead of the Paris Agreement. This is a proud moment for our team, and great news for customers across the city who will benefit from zero-emissions deliveries to their door.
To complete these deliveries in Norwich, Amazon is collaborating with local courier company, Danzen Logistics.
Dan Zenchuk, owner of Danzen Logistics said:We are delighted to work with Amazon to bring this fleet of electric cargo bikes to Norwich. We think the electric cargo bikes are going to be a big hit with customers, while also supporting Amazon’s sustainability commitments, and providing additional delivery rider opportunities in the area.
Globally, Amazon is investing more than 1 billion EUR in electric delivery vehicles.
The company already has more than 1,000 electric delivery vans deployed across the UK and Ireland, as well as nine fully electric heavy goods vehicles that have replaced traditional lorries.
