的国际快递运输公司 DHL 正在纽约市推出其 Cubicycle,参与一项试点计划,以测试使用货运自行车以缓解城市拥挤街道的交通拥堵以及空气和噪音污染。在曼哈顿部署 Cubicycle 符合 DHL 雄心勃勃的环境目标,其中包括到 2050 年实现运输活动的净零排放,以及到 2025 年使用绿色能源解决方案(例如电动汽车和自行车)执行至少 70% 的接送服务。
“货运自行车将在实现我们的环境目标方面发挥重要作用。DHL Cubicycle 在欧洲取得了巨大成功,部署的每辆自行车至少可以减少一辆传统的送货车,有助于缓解拥堵并提高我们的服务水平,”DHL Express Americas 执行官 Mike Parra 说。“我们感谢纽约市启用该试点,并希望看到 DHL Cubicycle 对纽约市的交通网络产生类似的积极影响。”
纽约市今天宣布的试点计划鼓励所有货运公司在*初的六个月试用期内在城市街道上使用货运自行车。*初的参与者是DHL,亚马逊和UPS和多达100辆自行车将在曼哈顿的中央商务区南部部署的60个街道。纽约市交通部将收集有关速度、停车位、自行车道使用情况和自行车尺寸的信息,以确定它们是否是缓解交通拥堵的有效选择。
纽约市交通部专员波莉·特罗滕贝格 (Polly Trottenberg) 表示:“交通部很高兴宣布该试点项目,通过鼓励使用电动货运自行车代替卡车,使纽约市的货运交付更安全、更环保。” “今年在纽约市,卡车导致骑自行车的人死亡人数过多,我们对这个试点可以为我们的街道带来的安全好处特别感兴趣。我们感谢 DHL,不仅因为它参与了这次试点,还因为它在促进货运自行车交付方面发挥了领导作用。我们希望该公司可以作为其他货运公司加入的榜样,帮助我们使这次试点取得成功。”
DHL 是在拥挤的市中心使用自行车作为替代交付选择的早期采用者。Cubicycle 于 2015 年在荷兰推出,现在已在德国、比利时、香港和新加坡使用。DHL 在全球的地面车队中拥有大约 85 辆货运自行车,包括 Cubicycles 和较小的 Parcycle,一种带货箱的两轮自行车。该试点计划将是 Cubicycle 在美国的使用
Cubicycle 有几个特点,使其对交通繁忙地区的送货业务具有吸引力:倾斜座椅为快递员提供更高的舒适度、安全性和速度;电动踏板辅助可在爬坡时提供额外的速度和支撑,并使其在狭窄的转弯半径内更易于操控。可拆卸的容器安全、防水并提供大容量的包裹,但足够低到地面,不会影响路上其他骑自行车的人的视线。它们可以配备 GPS 发射器,以促进实时货物跟踪和监控,以实现安全目的。这些自行车还通过使用太阳能电池板自行供电。
通过更换传统的运输车辆,每辆部署的 Cubicycle 预计每年*多可减少 8 公吨的碳排放。与电动货车相比,这些自行车*多可减少 90% 的能源使用,与配备内燃机的车辆相比甚至更多。
DHL, the world’s leading international express shipping company, is rolling out its Cubicycle in New York City, participating in a pilot program to test the use of cargo bikes to alleviate traffic congestion as well as lessen air and noise pollution in the city’s crowded streets. Deploying the Cubicycle in Manhattan fits in with DHL’s ambitious environmental targets which include achieving net zero emissions from transport activities by 2050 and performing at least70 percent of pick-ups and deliveries with green energy solutions such as electric vehicles and bikes by 2025.
”Cargo bicycles will play an important role in hitting our environmental targets. The DHL Cubicycle has enjoyed great success in Europe, with each bicycle deployed taking at least one conventional delivery van off the road, helping to relieve congestion and increasing our service levels,” said Mike Parra, DHL Express Americas CEO. “We are grateful to the City of New York for enabling this pilot and hope to see the DHL Cubicycle have a similar positive impact on the city’s transport network.”
The pilot program announced today by New York City encourages all freight companies to use cargo bikes on city streets during an initial six-month trial period. The initial participants are DHL, Amazon and UPS and as many as 100 bikes will be deployed in Manhattan’s Central Business District south of 60th Street. The City’s Department of Transportation will collect information about speed, parking, use of bike lanes and size of the bikes to determine if they are an efficient option to help relieve traffic congestion.
“DOT is excited to announce this pilot to make freight deliveries in NYC safer and greener by encouraging the use of electric cargo bikes instead of trucks,” said NYC DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. “With trucks involved in a disproportionately high number of cyclist fatalities in New York City this year, we are especially interested in the safety benefits this pilot can bring to our streets. We thank DHL, not only for its participation in this pilot, but also for its leadership in promoting cargo bike delivery. We hope the company can serve as an example to other freight companies to join and help us make this pilot a success.”
DHL has been an early adopter of using bikes as an alternative delivery option in crowded city centers. First introduced in 2015 in the Netherlands, the Cubicycle now is being used in Germany, Belgium, Hong Kong and Singapore. DHL has about 85 cargo bikes in its ground fleet globally, including Cubicycles and a smaller Parcycle, a two-wheel bike with cargo box. This pilot program will be the first use of the Cubicycle in the U.S.
The Cubicycle has several features that make it attractive for delivery operations in heavy traffic areas: a reclining seat that provides greater comfort, safety and speed for the courier; electric pedal assistance for additional speed and support in climbing hills and making it easier to handle within a tight turning radius. The removable containers are secure, waterproof and offer a large capacity for packages but are low enough to the ground so as to not impair the view of other cyclists on the road. They can be equipped with GPS transmitters to facilitate real-time shipment tracking and monitoring for security purposes. The bikes are also self-powered through the use of solar panels.
By replacing a conventional delivery vehicle, each deployed Cubicycle is expected to reduce carbon emissions by up to eight metric tons per year. The bikes reduce the use of energy by up to 90 percent compared to electric vans and even more when compared to vehicles with internal combustion engines.
In the U.S DHL maintains a robust alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) fleet, which includes fully electric, hybrid-electric, compressed natural gas (CNG) and clean diesel. In 2011, the company put in place an all-green fleet in Manhattan fully comprised of electric and hybrid vans. Earlier this year, it announced that it was adding 63 NGEN-1000 electric delivery cargo vans that would be rolled out in the San Francisco Bay area and Long Island City, N.Y.
