DHL has announced that it is using its cubicycle cargo bikes in a pilot to make deliveries in inner cities around the UAE.

DHL’s cubicycle is a four wheeled cargo e-bike that has a payload of up to 125kg.

Geoff Walsh, Country Manager, DHL in the UAE, said: “DHL Express has already replaced up to 60% of inner-city vehicles with cubicycles in some European countries and we are proud to launch and carry forward the same initiative and program in the UAE.

“We are confident that this new and advanced method of delivery will not only help reduce emissions and improve carbon efficiency, but also increase productivity and efficiency as cubicycles provide a faster way of delivery, especially within the more congested inner roads in the city.”
