Nowadays, mobility in cities is undergoing a visible change. Cargo bikes are becoming a key alternative to cars. They are not only flexible and fast but moreover environmentally- and climate-friendly. Young families, craftspeople and delivery services are using cargo bikes and the demand thereof is skyrocketing. This development is particularly favorable, given the climate targets that have been set not only for Germany but worldwide. Therefore, Fraunhofer LBF develops sustainable, comfortable, lightweight solutions for the next generation of cargo bikes. The key aspects of development lie in investigation of a multifunctional frame with integrated sensor and battery systems and mission-depending cargo boxes. As the starting point for these advancements, a commercial cargo bike is used.
