Cargo bike use doubles
Analysis by Clean Cities of TfL data shows that cargo bike use across London doubled from 2022 to 2024.
CLEAN CITIES see cargo bikes as a key way to shift London’s deliveries away from diesel vans. Analysis by Clean Cities has found that diesel vans are the biggest road source of NOx emissions in central London.
Clean Cities campaign manager Zak Bond, said: “Our analysis has shown that diesel vans are now the biggest road source of dirty air in central London. Shifting as many deliveries as possible to cargo bikes is essential. This increase in cargo bike use is a strong start, but local authorities must do more to support residents and businesses to use cargo bikes. That should include new grants which help those who need it most with the high upstart cost of a cargo bike.”
