Together with VVCR-Prodrive we introduce the Cargo Cycling driver academy

As Cargo Cycling, we believe in collaboration. We see our bike solutions as a service and we try to do everything we can to help drivers of our bikes get around safely and efficiently. We do this for example by monitoring our bikes, and working with partners to provide maintenance service when we see it is needed. This way we keep the TCO as low as possible.

With the enormous growth of new mobility, we also see that traffic is changing and rules are becoming blurred. To ensure the safety of all road users, we have found a specialist partner in VVCR-Prodrive, who, through data-driven solutions, can lower the TCO for companies and contribute to sustainability and traffic safety in the Netherlands.
