Royal Mail is launching its first electric cargo cycles, named the Minimal Pedal 4, in London. The vehicles have been designed by Minimal and are manufactured in Park Royal, west London.
The zero-emission cycles are intended to contribute to Royal Mail's net-zero target of 2040 and potentially speed up delivery times. The aim is for each postal worker to have their own cycle, streamlining routes.

Discussions are progressing for a consortium led by Amanda Staveley to acquire Vanessa Gold's shares.
The Minimal Pedal 4 can be used on roads with speed limits up to 30mph, as well as on cycle lanes, cycle paths, and greenways. A key feature is that postal workers will not require a driving licence to operate them.
Mark Riley, Royal Mail's delivery design manager, stated that the new cycles will 'help reduce emissions and improve air quality in the communities we serve, while creating new opportunities for people to join Royal Mail'.
The initial deployment will see 20 Minimal Pedal 4 cycles introduced this month across London, Brighton, and Cambridge.
