Trials of electric cargo vehicles at the University of Warwick aim to reduce emissions and improve air quality
West Midlands Mayor Richard Parker visited the University of Warwick earlier this week to see a glimpse into future parcel delivery.
He witnessed the trials of futuristic electric cargo vehicles that could eventually replace petrol and diesel vans on our roads.
The trials, part of the Last Mile Logistics Project, are supported by funding from the West Midlands Innovation Programme, which is part of the region’s Innovation Accelerator initiative.
The project uses the university’s ‘mini city’ campus as a testbed for a small fleet of low-speed electric vehicles. These vehicles are designed to cut congestion, reduce emissions and improve air quality.
