Nous adoptons une approche circulaire en réutilisant les pièces issues du SAV. Après une analyse rigoureuse, celles réutilisables sont remises à neuf ou réinjectées comme pièces reconditionnées, évitant le gaspillage et réduisant notre empreinte carbone.

‍*les pièces ayant déjà eu une vie ne sont jamais remises en service sur un produit neuf.

Dans notre processus de rétrofit, chaque pièce récupérée est soumise à une analyse mécanique. Celles présentant des défauts structurels sont écartées pour garantir qualité et sécurité.

Pour celles sélectionnées, nous évaluons le temps et le coût nécessaires à leur remise à niveau. Si elles répondent à nos critères, elles sont modernisées selon la dernière version en vigueur, puis réintroduites sur le marché comme pièces rétrofitées.

Jean-Louis Carrasco

Director of Urban Logistics at La Poste

” The La Poste Group has set up a home meal delivery service for isolated and elderly people. We were therefore looking for a low-carbon and robust logistics solution that respects the cold chain to deliver small meals to seniors living in city centers. In line with our strategy of deploying cycling solutions, we were delighted to be able to test the new VUF Bikes e-trikes created by their partnership with the Sofrigam group in a preview. Thanks to this innovative cargo bike, mailmen can now easily provide meals for urban seniors. ”

Refrigerated cargo bike : for what uses?

1. Meal delivery service

Our refrigerated cargo bike answers one of the major problems in meal delivery services, namely the respect for the cold chain.

Our tricycle is therefore adapted to the various meal delivery services. Whether it's home meal delivery or special events... The VUF Active Cold provides access to neighborhoods densely populated cities, where a conventional commercial vehicle should have Difficult to access.

The compact size of the e-trike (1.1 meters in width) allows it to circulate easily in narrow streets while guaranteeing the quality of the products transported: fruit, dairy products, fresh products...

2. Local business supplies

Local businesses are not always easy to access for conventional commercial vehicles.

Indeed, conventional commercial vehicles are often required to disrupt traffic, because despite the difficulties of accessibility, they must still park in order to Guarantee delivery at local businesses.

The problem is that they very often generate negative externalities for road users (annoying parking, traffic disturbance, interference with bike paths...)

Our refrigerated cargo bike are ideal for ensuring the supply of small local businesses (neighborhood grocery stores, farmers' markets, specialized points of sale...)

Their flexibility allows suppliers to adapt to the changing needs of these businesses while maintaining the cold chain for various products: from meat to dairy products to fruits & vegetables.

3. Transport of pharmaceutical products

The medical sector is also concerned with the transport of pharmaceutical products. Indeed, some pharmaceutical products, such as temperature-sensitive drugs, require a strict compliance with the cold chain. There are also constraints of times and of accessibility, as delivery times can be crucial for some medications, especially in the event of a medical emergency.

Finally, pharmaceutical transport is subject to a strict regulations in matter of security, confidentiality and product handling.

In addition to PIEK and ATP certifications, our refrigerated e-trike is agile, robust and easy to handle.

With our active refrigeration solution, the cold is guaranteed for 8 hours in ATP autonomy and up to 12 hours with 40 door openings.

How do I choose the right box for my business?

To choose the box adapted to your business, identify your transport needs: volumes, types of goods, delivery conditions. Opt for a waterproof and sturdy box for sensitive goods or a ventilated box for waste collection.

How to choose between a passive cold box and an active cold box?

To choose between active refrigeration and passive refrigeration transport, consider travel time and temperature maintenance regulations. Active refrigeration, with its integrated refrigeration system, is ideal for long trips and to comply with strict temperature maintenance regulations. Passive refrigeration, using cold accumulators, is suitable for short trips and when regulations are less stringent.
