New bicycle courier project for urban distribution in Mechelen

Mechelen Mayor Bart Somers praised the creative entrepreneurship that provides solutions “for a city that is growing and wants to be modern and innovative”. According to Mechelen’s alderman for mobility, Marina De Bie, the project meets the challenge of distribution in an urban fabric. “One of the challenges is to reconcile accessibility and liveability as far as the inner city is concerned. Therefore, we need to reorient distribution. Figures show that each household receives 0.6 deliveries every week. So the potential is there.”
