Project description
A new pedal assisted category of vehicle
The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming online shopping. This is due to the challenges faced by logistic operators related to the increased demand for e-commerce. A new approach to urban logistics is needed. The German company ONO which specialises in innovative solutions for urban transport has created a whole new type of vehicles: the ONO Pedal Assisted Transporter (PAT). The weather-protected electric vehicle PAT, which combines the flexibility and advantages of a bicycle with the durability and cargo capacity of a van, reduces road congestion and air pollution. The EU-funded ONO project intends to optimise the ONO PAT and its cargo-unit prototypes for a pre-series production, further develop the technology and software innovations and prepare it for manufacturing and commercialisation.
