The DHL 'cubicycle' is a customised four-wheel bike designed to carry containers weighing up to 125kg. The bike's containers can be equipped with GPS or IoT transmitters to track shipments in real-time.
The bike seeks to reduce emissions by minimising the mileage and time spent on the road by delivery vehicles.
