[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 5222933, member: 1"] [HEADING=2][URL='http://UPS tries out %27eQuad%27 electric bikes for urban deliveries - Yahoo']UPS tries out 'eQuad' electric bikes for urban deliveries - Yahoo[/URL][/HEADING] UPS said on Friday it was trying out a four-wheeled "eQuad" electric cargo bike for deliveries in densely packed urban areas, where bikes have better and easier access, to complement its push into electric vehicles. The package-delivery giant is trialing around 100 of the electric bikes, designed and built by British firm Fernhay, in seven European markets and will also launch trials in the United States and some Asian markets, Luke Wake, UPS vice president of fleet maintenance and engineering, told Reuters. UPS said it would also use four-wheeled electric bikes from other manufacturers for the trials, but did not disclose names. As well as making public commitments to cut their carbon footprints, package-delivery companies are seeking new ways to cut the cost of last-mile deliveries given soaring e-commerce orders. [/QUOTE]
