Descrição

This paper uses the definition of cycle logistics put forth by Schilwa et al. (2015): “the use of
human powered or electrically-assisted standard bicycles, cargo bikes, and cargo tricycles for
the transport of goods between A and B, primarily in urban areas” (p.52). Using bicycles and
tricycles for delivering urban freight can help reduce the negative effects of motorized freight
delivery and create more sustainable cities (7–14). Last-mile delivery of urban freight is
considered one of the most (or the most) expensive and polluting, and least efficient parts of
the whole supply chain (15).
