BCLF - Belgian Cycle Logistics Federation

Vorige week, ondertekende BCLF - Belgian Cycle Logistics Federation het “kaderovereenkomst voor zero-emissie stedelijke logistiek" met de Vlaamse Overheid. 🌍 Met dit akkoord kunnen steden vanaf 2027 zero-emissiezones invoeren. Deze kaderovereenkomst garandeert uniformiteit in heel Vlaanderen. ✅ De deelname van BCLF, naast alle belangrijke stakeholders, was essentieel om de fietslogistiek in de kaderovereenkomst op te nemen. 🚴♂️ Eén op de drie verplaatsingen voor het transport van goederen en diensten in steden kan verschoven worden naar cargo bikes! 🚴♂️ Om de implementatie ervan te ondersteunen, bevat de kaderovereenkomst een aantal maatregelen om gunstige voorwaarden voor fietslogistiek te creëren: - 🚲 Subsidie voor elektrische en niet-elektrische cargo bikes - 🚲 Gebruik van aanhangers op fietspaden - 🚲 Gids om fietslogistiek in stedelijke gebieden te promoten - 🚲 Ondersteuning voor het creëren van lokale hubs Fietslogistiek is en zal een deel van de oplossing zijn voor zero-emissie transport en logistiek in steden! 🌱 Philippe Lovens vertegenwoordigde BCLF op het event. 👏 💪 Bedankt voor het harde werk van het BCLF-team in de afgelopen maanden!

Happy to see CIE members urbike, BCLF - Belgian Cycle Logistics Federation and Radlogistikverband Deutschland e.V. discussing the importance of cycle logistics as the most sustainable form of transport benefiting the environment, economy and people during the Velo-city conference session "How Cycling Is Transforming Urban Logistics Across Europe" moderated by CIE Project Manager Samuel Pierce. Expert speakers Margot Vandorpe, Dr. Tom Assmann and Philippe Van de Casteele also emphasized that cities and municipalities have the power to create the market conditions for the success of cycle logistics. However, according to research by RLVD, 45% of municipalities in Germany have self-assessed their knowledge in this area as “poor or very poor”. Engagement and education by national cycle logistics associations can change this. #CyclingIndustriesEurope #CycleLogistics #CargoBike #VC24

🌟 Today in Mechelen, the BCLF - Belgian Cycle Logistics Federation joined the workgroup “Duurzame en efficiënte stadlogistiek in Mechelen” (Sustainable and efficient urban logistics) 🌱 👉 The BCLF presented its vision for the cycle logistics and the still-untapped potential: 33% of all professional delivery trips in the city can be done with cargo bikes! 🚀 💡 We also announced the upcoming Cycle Logistics Barometer 2024, which will have a focus on mixed-carriers (= transporters that develop deliveries with cargo bikes, in addition to their deliveries by vans). We encourage all mixed-carriers to participate in the Barometer 2024! 🤝 👍 Overall it was great to be in the beautiful city of Mechelen and to interact with the organizations that participate concretely in the future sustainable urban logistics of the city! 🌆🚴♀️ Thank you Inneke Vos for having put the BCLF in the spotlight! 🙏 #SustainableLogistics #CycleLogistics #UrbanLogistics #Mechelen #Route33 #lastmile #BCLF
