The CLOCS community is committed to driving safer, leaner and greener construction logistics and to adopting and implementing Construction Logistics Plans for all relevant construction activity.

A fundamental requirement within any CLP is the consideration of Planned Measures used to influence behaviours that reduce environmental impact, road risk and congestion, and part of that is exploring other means of moving goods and materials by alternative methods of transport. Historically, this section of the CLP has focussed on the use of rail and/or water but it is now clear that cargo bikes have a role to play.

Cargo bikes are not currently referenced within the CLOCS Standard and are only mentioned briefly within the CLP training but with these becoming ever-more prevalent on our streets, now is the time to start a thinking about whether cargo bikes might be used as part of your construction logistics and, if so, how these might be adopted as a safe, efficient and sustainable method of moving materials over short distances.
