Cargo bikes are increasingly replacing cars in private mobility and the CEP sector. So far, little attention has been paid to commercial transport as e.g. service. These journeys are characterised by mostly short distances in the inner-city area. The cargo bike offers the chance to save CO₂ emissions and to reduce time and costs in the daily work routines (e.g. search for a parking space, parking permits, etc.).

So far, however, there is a lack of appropriate role models for these companies as well as incentives beyond purchase subsidies. In order to achieve a rapid and broadly effective switch to cargo bikes, it is necessary to identify levers at different levels of a multi-level perspective. This is where Antrieb comes in, building a.o. on the findings of the KlimaEntLaster, opens an external URL in a new window project and addressing the following key questions:

• What measures and incentives are required on the part of the public sector so that more companies purchase cargo bikes for commercial / service transport?
• How can cargo bikes be integrated into everyday business procedures?
• What measures and incentives are needed to ensure that employees in companies actually use the cargo bikes they have purchased?

The results of the project are integrative solution modules for incentives for cargo bike usage at at different levels of a multi-level perspective.
