Steve Bonnici: Urgent Courier Cargo Bikes

Auckland-based Urgent Couriers was the country’s first carbon-neutral transport company; if you were in Auckland in the 90’s you’ll likely remember its fleet of courier bicycles.The bikes were mostly displaced by electronic messaging, but now they’re back. Late last year managing director Steve Bonnici bought five electric cargo bikes and set them loose on the streets of Auckland. Steve told Ross Inglis how the new cargo bikes make sense environmentally and commercially. thisclimatebusiness.com
