Cargo bikes in action
Trucks, vans, buses and trailers are not the only focus of the IAA Transportation: The cargo bike is the ideal transport carrier for the last mile in urban delivery traffic. Between traffic congestion, parking chaos, noise and the customer's desire for on-time delivery, cargo bikes can play a key role as "game changers" in solving inner-city logistics problems. This year, Hannover will showcase the latest trends and innovations in the cargo bike scene.
Test the latest cargo bikes on the IAA Cargobike Parcours. Here you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with your models and those of other manufacturers and test them extensively. On the winding track, the transport pedelecs can be put through their paces. Different situations and obstacles allow you to ride under real conditions with curb simulations, inclines, declines and uneven surfaces.
North of Hall 26, every registered exhibitor has a registration area. Here you get access to the cargo bikes and receive tips from the experts before your driving tests.

The Award "International Cargobike of the Year"
Cargo bikes in commercial use are booming and experiencing a huge surge in innovation with major leaps in development in terms of technology and scaling. This is also reflected in the "International Cargobike of the Year" (CABOTY) award, which will be held for the first time in 2019 and this time docked to the world's most important stage for commercial vehicles, the IAA TRANSPORTATION in Hanover (September 20-25). In this way, the initiators of the trade journal LOGISTRA from HUSS-VERLAG want to emphasize that the former niche topic has arrived in the mainstream of logistics.
The use of cargo bikes for logistics saved 422 tons of carbon dioxide, or 105 3.5-ton trucks, in 2021, they said. A total of 4.7 million shipments were delivered by bike logistics, 0.1 million more shipments than last year. However, the key to a successful use of cargo bikes in logistics still lies in the smart combination with ideal e-trucks/e-vans in the lead-up as well as decentralized microdepots as transshipment points for fine distribution. All these topics are also reflected at the IAA TRANSPORTATION.
The Cargobike Award will again be presented in three categories: Light, Heavy and Trailer. This is to take account of the different requirement profiles. The list of candidates for the award is now open and interested parties can apply for the award using a form. On site, the jury, which in addition to initiator Johannes Reichel again consists of practitioners such as bike logistics expert and RLVD board member Thomas Schmitz from the company Radlader in Mainz and RLVD board member Martin Schmidt from the company Cycle Logistics in Berlin, will examine the candidate bikes in a test procedure and evaluate their practical suitability according to a catalog of criteria. The awarding of the prizes is then planned to take place at an evening event on September 22 immediately afterwards.
