Lyreco trialling electric ‘barges’ and e-bikes for fulfilment in Paris
Office supply distributor, Lyreco, has partnered up with AMME, a start-up combining electric barges and e-bikes, in order to make last-mile deliveries across the centre of Paris. The goods are delivered by the electric barges, which can carry up to seven tons, and dropped off at different destinations along the river. E-bikes then pick up and deliver these products to customers' homes. By 2021, Lyreco plans to increase the number of e-bike deliveries to 700 daily and in turn, reduce CO2 emissions by 25 tons, while decreasing the number of delivery vehicles it operates.
