Joint Declaration on Carrier Cycles in Urban Logistics

Executive Summary

European cities face congestion, emissions, and limited public space. Carrier cycles (EPACs) are a proven, rapidly scaling answer: they cut emissions, reduce congestion, and raise delivery efficiency—today. Safety is non-negotiable, and our sector has invested heavily in standards and testing (EN 15194, EN 17860 series). Recent proposals to cap assistance ratios, peak power, and vehicle weight would undermine real-world usability without delivering additional safety. In order for last-mile deliveries companies to invest in cycle logistics, they need the certainty that carrier cycles will maintain the EPAC status that ensure homogenous regulations across countries - access to cycle lanes and pedestrian areas. This is the basis for the operational advantages of carrier cycles versus LCV.
