Amazon delivery drivers in Glasgow will be switching their mode of transport as they are the first business to launch electric cargo bike deliveries in Glasgow.
The firm's eco-friendly vehicles are taking to city streets as a new hub opens in Baillieston as part of a £300million investment to alleviate traffic and improve air quality.
John Boumphrey, UK Country Manager at Amazon said: “The new hub in Glasgow will not only bring our Scottish customers more electric-powered deliveries, but also support the local authority in looking for ways to reduce congestion and find alternative transportation methods. We look forward to expanding our e-cargo bike fleet further in the months ahead.”
"It’s a smart decision for any organisation, reducing running costs and providing couriers with a healthier and happier way to make deliveries every day. I hope that many more organisations consider the benefits of active travel to deliver goods and services. Record Scottish Government investment is transforming active travel infrastructure across the country.
