Smart technology for a more sustainable futureAt the heart of this project is the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. By installing sensors on key cargo bike components, the companies can precisely monitor wear and tear. This makes maintenance more efficient and allows parts to be reused quickly. The system not only saves costs for both customers and manufacturers but also contributes to a more sustainable production process.Dutch-German collaboration driving innovationThe partnership between Dutch Nijland Cycling and German Cargo Cycling demonstrates how cross-border initiatives can accelerate innovation. The "Two4C" voucher supports these companies in developing, testing, and implementing new technologies. The project consists of several stages: from developing sensors and analyzing data to designing new hardware and integrating technology into the production chain. Market tests will ultimately demonstrate the viability of the new circular cargo bikes.The manufacturing industry of the futureThis project is not only a technological breakthrough but also an important step towards a circular economy. By reusing components and optimizing maintenance, Cargo Cycling and Nijland Cycling reduce the dependency on new raw materials. This paves the way for a more sustainable manufacturing industry, ready to face the challenges of tomorrow.Two4C shows that cross-border collaboration pays off, delivering a valuable contribution to a greener Europe.
