A Solution for Pollution
The Green Way to Deliver!
Who We Are
Pedivan is a 100% green, premium courier service provider that was founded in 2017. The spark behind the idea behind Pedivan was lit when we noticed the sudden development of London’s cycling infrastructure. Looking at the new Cycle Superhighways, Low Traffic Neighbourhood areas, and Ultra Low Emission Zone opened our eyes; big changes always require new solutions.
Although the idea of an urban cyclist courier service couldn’t be called a novelty, we wanted to be able to carry more than you can typically do on a bicycle. What about tricycles then? Electrically assisted pedal-powered vehicles with the loading capacity of a small van, yet still classified as bikes and therefore able to use the inner-city cycle infrastructure.
Pedal-powered vans? Let’s call them Pedivan! And this is the idea that made us pioneers in changing the London delivery landscape, with us being the first business to start using electrically assisted three-wheeler XXL cargo trikes in the capital.
What We Do
Our company offers a unique tailored solution for businesses to become green and sustainable without compromising on service quality, delivery time, and costs. Our vehicles are not only emission-free but in most cases, are much more practical for inner-city courier services than cars or small vans.
We provide a wide range of courier services from express and same-day to multi-drop deliveries. However, Pedivan does more than just deliver! By improving air quality and reducing traffic congestion, our service will leave a positive and lasting impression on your customers.
How We Do It
We take pride in our humble beginnings when our two co-founders, as well as being the directors, were also the riders, the sales officers, and the mechanics. Since then, the size of our team and fleet has gone through significant growth, our attitude remains the same – A customer-focused approach that involves building and maintaining personal connections with our clients and using the experience we gained in the field to make sure we understand their needs and tailor our best practices to them accordingly.
The safety of the goods we handle is our priority. All of our vehicles are fitted with GPS trackers and closed cargo boxes to protect your items against weather and thieves. We have years of experience dealing with fragile packages and high-value items. When it comes to fragile items, we make sure that we always handle them with extra care. We do this by using purpose-made equipment (special cases and trays padded with sponge) to offer external protection.
Our online management platform makes the entire process transparent for you from placing an order to checking the proof of delivery. You can manage and follow your deliveries on your phone or laptop, but you can always get in touch with our dedicated account manager via the live chat, if you need assistance.
The Pedivan in 2022
Nowadays, our London team consists of over 40 members, and 35 of our vehicles are currently cruising around the streets of the capital. We serve the city from 3 different hubs and provide a professional courier service for over a hundred clients; from local micro-businesses to global market leaders.
We launched our German subsidiary in July 2022, and operate in Berlin with 15 cargo bikes operating from 2 hubs. We continue to expand and will start to offer our sustainable courier services in Paris from March 2023.
We offer a wide range of services, from basic business-to-business or business-to-customer deliveries to complex tasks such as distributing goods from one warehouse to another and loading storage, charging and changing batteries of micro-mobility scooters and bicycles, or even taking part in events with custom-branded bikes, handing out product samples for promotional purposes and so on.
We move fast, deliver safely
and operate smartly.
We are proud of our eco-friendly and smart approach to providing our service. As we do not use fuel-based vans and are therefore not liable to congestion charges, we are able to offer a sustainable and cost-effective delivery service to our clients..
