Amazon delivery drivers to start dropping off packages on bikes

Amazon is making a major change to how its packages are delivered across Manchester as it expands its UK e-cargo bike fleet and opens a micromobility delivery hub in Trafford Park.

The online retail giant kicked off its new "micromobility" hub in London in July while hoping to deliver to a million more customers each year. As part of the new environment-friendly initiative Amazon has now launched three further micromobility delivery hubs in both Manchester and London.
