We drive on solar energy and green electricity

  4. Cargohopper is a system • Cargohopper is not about hardware. It is a complete logistic concept • The chain of supply is wide going optimized by the use of a swap station only 300 meters from the inner city for the small Cargohopper • This way, it stays in the inner city, looses no time while driving on and backwards to the distribution centre outside the city

  5. Cargohopper combines smart delivery with high-tech techniques • Cargohopper has two types of vehicles. • A small 16 meter long 1.25 meter wide distribution train for parcel delivery. Its speed is 20 km/h with a range of approx. 75 kilometers • A larger 9 meter long tractor trailer unit suitable to carry 10 pallets of 20 warehouse trollies. Its speed is up to 50 km/h with a range of 100+ kilometre • Both vehicles have solar panels on the roof for more range and less emission 

  6. Cargohopper as the last shackle in every chain of supply • Gains time and brings less planning effort for every (national) carrier: no need to enter cities within the delivery windows anymore • Very suitable for the delivery internet related goods at a house number level. (that is a fast growing kind of delivery in the Netherlands) • Enhances the sustainable appearance of every parcel service

  9. Cargohopper exists for 3,5 years now • The first vehicle is completely integrated in the inner city: it almost is a part of the furniture. • It has proven to be profitable. No operational subsidy is needed or provided. • Next week Cargohopper starts a pilot with smart delivery of fresh cooled en froozen goods for the hotel and catering branche

  10. The sun rises for free? Well, not in the case of Cargohopper Utrecht! • Cargohopper Utrecht is part of a common transport company with a national distribution network • Cargohopper operates without operational public funding and with market conform fairs. That makes it the right choice for every logistic chain to boost its sustainable efforts in urban areas. Only there where market and environment go together, real sustainable activities take shape!!
