Deutsche Post rolls out its 1,000 StreetScooter e-bike
Deutsche Post has put the 1,000th e-bike from its StreetScooter subsidiary into service on the streets of Osnabruck today (30 March). The StreetScooter e-bikes can reach speeds of up to 25 km/h and can carry up to 50 kg. In some delivery areas, Deutsche Post is testing StreetScooter’s “e-trike” for mail delivery as well; it can carry up to 90 kg.
Deutsche Post DHL Group already operates the largest electric vehicle fleet in Germany, with about 2,500 StreetScooter Work electric trucks and approximately 10,500 pedelecs (e-bikes and e-trikes), and the company says that the number of e-bikes in service will continue to increase in the years to come.
One of the Group’s four intermediate goals is to convert 70% of its pick-up and delivery activities to clean transport solutions such as bicycles and electric vehicles by 2025.
