City distribution
Cargohopper is:
• A very sustainable way of distribution in vulnerable inner cities
• A universal commercial concept for every city centre
• Delivering parcels, pallets and rolcontainers
• The answer to every environmentally restricted area
• Almost zero emission! We drive on solar energy and green electricity
Cargohopper is a system
• Cargohopper is not about hardware. It is a complete logistic concept
• The chain of supply is wide going optimized by the use of a swap station
only 300 meters from the inner city for the small Cargohopper
• This way, it stays in the inner city, looses no time while driving on and
backwards to the distribution centre outside the city
Cargohopper combines smart delivery with high-tech techniques

Cargohopper has two types of vehicles.
A small 16 meter long 1.25 meter wide distribution train for parcel
delivery. Its speed is 20 km/h with a range of approx. 75 kilometers
A larger 9 meter long tractor trailer unit suitable to carry 10 pallets of 20
warehouse trollies. Its speed is up to 50 km/h with a range of 100+
kilometre
Both vehicles have solar panels on the roof for more
range and less emission
Cargohopper as the last shackle in every chain of supply
• Gains time and brings less planning effort for every (national) carrier: no
need to enter cities within the delivery windows anymore
• Very suitable for the delivery internet related goods at a house number
level. (that is a fast growing kind of delivery in the Netherlands)
• Enhances the sustainable appearance of every parcel service
Cargohopper fits seamless in every city:
• Clean and reliable
• Reduces the number of delivery vans and trucks
• Meets the demands of the city and of the haulier
• City authorities wants less pollution and less
trucks in their innercity
• Shippers and transport companies try to
deliver more with less mileage
• Cargohopper is the bridge between
these two goals

Cargohopper supports every (local) environmental goal
Cargohopper Utrecht:
• Removed so far appr. 250.000 delivery van kilometers from the city
centre
• Reduces the number of traffic jams in small streets
• Saved up to 46.000 liters of diesel fuel
• Delivered over 153.600 parcels in almost 39.000 drops
• Less trucks in the city mean more traffic safety
Cargohopper exists for 3,5 years now
• The first vehicle is completely integrated in the inner city: it almost is a
part of the furniture.
• It has proven to be profitable. No operational subsidy is needed or
provided.

a national distribution network
