Trends in using electric cargo bikes in Europe

 

Three-wheeled electric bicycle delivery services are booming in European countries such as France and England.

With their compact design, zero greenhouse gas emissions, reduced traffic congestion and reduced delivery costs, these electric delivery vehicles are making their way into every corner of Europe.

To support the trend of using electric delivery bikes, many large European automobile corporations have been working with startups to produce these models. Meanwhile, giant e-commerce sites such as Amazon are also testing electric delivery services in some countries.

On a traffic jam day in the British capital London, parcels will still be delivered on time thanks to three-wheeled electric delivery bikes like this.

According to the London Cycling Association, the number of electric delivery vehicles has increased by 30% by May 2023, to thousands of licensed vehicles here.

"We can get through traffic faster. It's cheaper for consumers," said Joe Sharpe, founder of London-based electric delivery company Zhero.

“The skyrocketing price of fuel, the charges for driving into London’s ultra-low emission zones, and the pollution, all of these things are making electric delivery vehicles the obvious choice,” said Ben Jaconelli, CEO of London-based electric bike company Fully Charged.

Amazon has 1,000 electric delivery bikes in operation. FedEx and other carriers have also tested the service in London.

In Germany, the largest market for e-bikes, there are already around 165,000 on the road every day, while Copenhagen, Denmark has around 40,000.

In order to reduce the cost of electric tricycles for delivery in France, the car manufacturer has teamed up with a startup to commercialize this product line, while still ensuring maximum safety in terms of technology and machinery.

According to Mr. Thomas Coulbeut, founder of the French bicycle company Douze: "Traditionally, bicycle frames are made up of many different small parts, which are then welded together, which takes a lot of effort. But thanks to the help of precision mechanics, the frame of this electric cargo bike is produced differently.

It is expected that by 2024, some car manufacturers such as Valeo and Peugeot will launch some electric cargo bike models to compete in this segment with much potential. Currently, the selling price of these models ranges from 2,000 to 10,000 USD/vehicle.

NVIDIA introduces new AI supercomputer, super compact, "student" price - as cheap as an office laptop but extremely useful

Image
  With its super cheap price, this AI supercomputer from NVIDIA is especially suitable for AI research enthusiasts with limited finances, such as students or small companies. NVIDIA recently introduced the Jetson Orin Nano Super development kit, the successor to the Jetson Orin Nano kit from 2022. This compact AI supercomputer can fit in the palm of your hand, including an 8GB Jetson Orin Nano system module and a reference board. In terms of performance, the Jetson Orin Nano Super achieves 68 trillion operations per second (TOPS), a 70% increase over the previous generation. NVIDIA also claims a 1.7x improvement in generative AI inference performance and a 50% increase in bandwidth, reaching 102GB per second. The CPU frequency is now 1.7GHz, a modest increase from the previous generation's 1.5GHz. IA claims that Jetson Orin Nano Super benefits all common generative AI models, including large language models (LLMs), visual language models, and vision converters. Jetson Orin Nano Sup...

Experience with the Cooler Master Storm game controller: Comfortable grip, battery life up to 40 hours, but there's one unfortunate drawback.

 This is a good gaming solution for Windows, Mac computers, or mobile devices like Android, iOS, iPad, but it will be difficult to use with PS5! Mouse and keyboard are considered the most optimal accessories for gaming, but there are still gamers who highly value the experience of playing with a controller, similar to console gaming. That's why gaming brands continue to release new controllers, including Cooler Master with the Storm Controller we have here. The controller is packaged in a small cardboard box and is quite attractively decorated. Inside the box, besides the controller, we have a user manual and a USB-C to USB-A cable. This controller comes in two color versions: Black - Purple and White - Purple, which we have here. This color scheme reminds me of the character Frieza from the Dragon Ball series! In terms of design, the Cooler Master Storm has a shape closer to the Xbox controller than the PlayStation 5 - slightly rounded and 'chubby'. This design feels comfo...
