Miles relies on cargo bikes: Employees clean car sharing cars environmentally friendly

The Berlin car sharing provider "Miles" not only relies on cars, but is also currently testing six cargo bikes for its employees. The company would like to ensure that the vehicles that are rented via the app are always clean and tidy.

enes Hardt, one of the employees, has been traveling with one of the cargo bikes in the capital for a month. In his luggage subject, he has all the utensils for vehicle cleaning, such as spray, glass cleaner, rag, brush and even a vacuum cleaner. Depending on the condition, it takes about 20 minutes per car for cleaning and creates a total of 20 to 25 cars a day. If the weather is bad, the employer naturally provides rainwear.

enes disposes of packaging, cleans the floor mats and takes the cleaning completely: He himself knows it from his own experience that you quickly put your things into the door shelf in the car and then forget when you get out. In his free time, however, he prefers to drive a car himself, as a normal bike is too exhausting for him. Nevertheless, the new job keeps him fit and he has already lost two kilos.

The use of cargo bikes shows that car sharing companies are also interested in promoting environmentally friendly alternatives. The test phase with the cargo bikes is part of a sustainable corporate strategy of "Miles".
