Efficiency and Sustainability in Industrial Logistics
ebm-papst, the world’s leading manufacturer of fans and motors, is setting a new standard for internal site logistics. By integrating innovative e-cargo bikes into their daily operations, the company is proving that industrial mobility can be both high-performing and CO₂-neutral.
The Doer
Powering Smarter Logistics
Because of the long distances within the site, service technicians can reach their destination much more quickly on the bikes. This increases mobility within the company, even in the rain! Employees enjoy using them every day, as they make work considerably easier and have proven to be extremely reliable.
"Previously, technicians had to organise a forklift truck or were limited by small scooters. Now, they can easily carry heavy tools and spare parts with them, supporting our goal for seamless on-site operations."
Why Cargo Bikes?
ebm-papst has been leading by example for three years now. By using the DOER e-cargo bikes, the company effectively reduces its CO₂ emissions while solving practical logistical challenges. These bikes replace traditional internal transport, offering a smarter, greener, and more efficient solution for moving heavy components across large industrial premises.
Leading the way
A Pioneer in Sustainable Industrial Transport
Building on a long-standing collaboration between NHS Humber Health Partnership and East Riding of Yorkshire Council, this project advances cleaner, more efficient healthcare logistics. Funded by Active Travel England, it promotes active and sustainable travel across the hospital estate.
“This is an exciting next phase,” says Steve Wigley, Principal Officer at the council’s Sustainable Transport Team. “Since 2021, our partnership with the NHS has strengthened sustainable healthcare operations.”
Castle Hill Hospital has already received national recognition, including the Modeshift National Sustainable Travel Award (Team of the Year) and a 13.5% reduction in car use in one year. Andrew Bradley, Sustainable Travel Lead for NHS England, adds: “This project showcases what’s possible when healthcare, sustainability, and local collaboration come together.”
