Abstract
Increasing concern about climate change, urban pollution, and traffic congestion has led some large cities, like Amsterdam and Utrecht, to ban completely combustion engines for inner city delivery vans within the next three years, a trend which will be likely followed by other metropolitan areas throughout Europe. To comply with this regulation trend, a few delivery companies have already started adopting eCargo bikes to perform last-mile delivery, harnessing the great potential of such vehicles in terms of operating costs and service quality. However, their diffusion in the parcel delivery sector is marginal because of their limited range. In fact, delivery eCargo bikes must travel 50 to 100 Km per day on average, which is very close to the 40 to 100 Km battery range declared by major eCargo bike manufacturers.
This leads to poor real-world range performance, especially in hilly regions
