As reducing the carbon footprint becomes a top priority for logistics companies, Colis Privé is proud to highlight its partnership with Pickup Courrier, a pioneer in cyclologistics. This partnership perfectly illustrates how innovation and sustainability can transform urban delivery.
Introducing Pickup Courrier
Founded by Dylan Poirier, a former courier turned general manager, Pickup Courrier is now a major force in the field of eco-friendly logistics. Specialising in bike deliveries, with their cargo bikes and other electric vehicles, this company contributes to a greener delivery approach thanks to fast and ecological distribution.
Key role of Pickup Courrier in sustainable logistics
The collaboration between Colis Privé and Pickup Courrier began in January 2023 and quickly established as a successful model for sustainable delivery. With an average of 600 parcels delivered daily in big cities like Bordeaux and Marseille, Pickup Courrier continues to push the limits of logistical efficiency while remaining true to its ecological principles.
Pickup Courrier’s activities
- Freight: Transport of goods in urban areas, essential for managing medium-sized deliveries.
- Point-to-Point Delivery: Express delivery guaranteed in less than 2 hours, guaranteeing speed and reliability.
- Free Floating: Management and maintenance of electric vehicles provided for shared use by partners such as LIME, DOTT and YEGO.
How does delivery with Pickup Courrier work?
The process is designed for efficiency: parcels are transported from Colis Privé agencies to Pickup Courrier's city-centre hubs, where they are then delivered using ecological means of transport like electric scooters, electric mopeds and cargo bikes. This method not only reduces carbon emission, but also avoids delays associated with dense city traffic.
"In a constantly evolving market where regulations increasingly aim to reduce the circulation of large polluting vehicles, adopting low-emission vehicles is not just an ecological necessity, it is also a wise business strategy", explains Dylan Poirier.
Outlook and expansion
The success of this collaboration encourages Pickup Courrier to consider expanding its activities to other Colis Privé agencies. With its low-carbon economy objectives and the deployment of 242 clean vehicles in France, Colis Privé and Pickup Courrier continue to seek innovations that could further enhance their efficiency while reducing their environmental impact.
In conclusion, the partnership between Colis Privé and Pickup Courrier is an excellent example of how companies can combine economic growth with environmental responsibility. By integrating the principles of cyclologistics into their business model, these companies not only meet the expectations of modern consumers; they actively contribute to building a more sustainable future for all.
