UPS has begun testing deliveries with an eBike in central Paris in its latest trial of alternative delivery methods in major European cities. The test is being done in collaboration with the City of Paris, the arrondissement administration and Urban Lab, the urban laboratory of Paris&Co, and is part of a wider program in Paris to test innovative approaches to help combat the issues arising from urban logistics. The six-month test began in April and will see UPS delivering packages with two eBikes in the 2eme arrondissement from a trailer parked in a specially-marked spaced reserved for the duration of the test. The trailer full of packages for delivery will be transported every morning from UPS’s Paris hub in Charenton, and will be returned to the hub every evening with packages that have been picked up throughout the day.
