New cargo bike subsidies

The cargo bike funding program launched by the Hessian Ministry of the Environment for the first time in 2020 has also met with an enormous response in the second funding round in 2022. The €1.5 million in funding provided was exhausted within a few weeks by the end of May. A total of around 1,900 applications were approved. Now the cargo bike funding is entering another round. The project will once again be handled by the project management organization Jülich .
