Cargo-Bike Logistics in Leuven

Leuven is becoming a testing ground for sustainable urban logistics. In the historic city center, where narrow streets limit van access, cargo bikes are increasingly used for last-mile deliveries. Goods are first consolidated at small urban hubs outside the center and then distributed by bicycle couriers. This approach reduces congestion, lowers CO₂ emissions, and speeds up deliveries in dense areas. The initiative reflects a broader European trend toward greener city logistics. Leuven shows how smart supply chain solutions can improve both urban mobility and sustainability.
