TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Assesment of the potential of cargo bikes and electrification for last-mile parcel delivery by means of simulation of urban freight flows JO - European transport research review A1 - Llorca, Carlos A1 - Moeckel, Rolf SP - e33 EP - e33 VL - 13 IS - 1 N2 - The paper presents a simulation model for freight. In the paper, this model is applied to understand the impacts of electric vans and cargo bikes for the last-mile delivery of parcels. Cargo bikes are electrically assisted vehicles that distribute parcels from micro depots located close to the final customers by means of short tours. The parcels are sent from the major distribution center to micro depots in vans (called feeders).
