EUROPEAN CYCLE LOGISTICS FEDERATION

Symposium in Berlin, Germany

Friday 13 April 2018

Thank you Berlin!


The ECLF Symposium 2018 in Berlin was attended by more than 170 participants. The Berlin Senate used the Symposium to announce its new cargo bike subsidy scheme and the cycle logistics projec KoMoDo with major parcel delivery companies. German cycle logistics operators announced the founding of a national cycle logistics association. We thank all speakers, all partners and sponsors and the ECLF Berlin team for making this biggest ever cycle logistics event in Germany possible. Please find our press review here and pictures in the slider below.

     Delivered by bike! Cycle logistics is taking carbon and air pollutants out of last mile deliveries in cities across Europe. Combined with new logistics schemes, modern cargo bikes can offer reliable urban logistics on a large scale.


The Berlin Symposium of the European Cycle Logistics Federation (ECLF) is a key European professional event of cycle logistics experts. The programme includes presentation by cycle logistics operators, cargo bike manufacturers, researchers and the Berlin Senate.
