ChargeUp to charge electric cars in PPL CZ
ChargeUp, part of the Unicorn group, will deliver five dozen charging stations to individual regional depots to parcel carrier PPL CZ and connect them to the ChargeUp CPO management system. The smart application and ChargeUp charging cards will be used for charging authorization for PPL CZ drivers. ChargeUp will thus support PPL CZ on the way to "green logistics", which will continue in the following years with the installation of up to hundreds of additional charging points.

The first electric cargo bikes have rolled into the centre of Prague.
The first city bike depot operated within the framework of the Depot.Bike project opened on Wednesday, 18 November 2020 in the Florenc district of Prague. The depot is intended for delivery of parcels around the city centre using electric cargo bikes. This city bike depot was established as a result of the need to reduce the number of vans operating in the centre of Prague due to the increasing volume of parcels. In doing so, the city wants to provide relief for public spaces, reduce the traffic burden and in doing so contribute towards improving the quality of life of people living in the city.

Ecological alternatives in packaging of consignments
