The one-stop-shop for
sustainable urban logistics
72% of the EU population lives in urban areas and
this figure is rising. Factors like job opportunities,
quality of life and cultural diversity are driving up
urban populations in our ever more dense and
congested cities. These trends have brought with
it a huge growth in e-commerce, food and service
deliveries, contributing to a whole host of
problems in our urban spaces.
These factors make it increasingly difficult for
SMEs to get around. Especially if they are still using
traditional, carbon-emitting delivery vehicles. So
how can SMEs move past these problems?
Step forward DOCKR. We are a Dutch startup
whose mission is to help SMEs navigate the tricky
world of urban mobility. How? Well, we believe
it’s time for a change. The old leasing models are
outdated. That’s why we offer a completely flexible
range of electric mobility options for SMEs that
produce zero local emissions.
For example, the emissions of larger delivery
vehicles affect air quality for everyone in cities.
On top of this, some vehicles are simply out of
scale with historic city centres, making moving
around and parking time-consuming. A lose-lose
situation then, for both small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) and the cities they serve.
Understandably, cities are pushing back in a bid
to increase air quality and reduce nuisance, by
introducing stringent environmental policies,
low-emission zones or access restrictions. In
Amsterdam, where it is claimed air pollution
shortens residents’ life expectancy by a year, city
authorities plan to ban petrol and diesel vehicles
from 2030 and recently doubled parking fees.

Our range of e-hardware goes from the smallest
e-delivery bike, through light electric vehicles and
all the way up to larger e-vans. We’re not tied to
any manufacturers, meaning we can offer the
solution that fits your business best.
It’s not always possible for SMEs to predict how
busy they will be. That’s why at DOCKR we offer a
multi-modal proposition. Cargo bike too small? We
can swap it out for a larger one. Need an e-van for
inter-city trips? We’ll sort it. Got an event coming
up and need some extra wheels? No problem, we
can fix you up with a temporary solution.
Flexibility; the ability to change vehicles, as well
as up- or down-scale on a monthly basis, is in our
DNA. Just tell us what you need. We’ll even hook
you up with charging solutions and other e-related
tools and accessories.
So how does this actually help SMEs? DOCKR aims
to take the headache out of mobility, so you can
concentrate on what you do best. Getting from
A to B can, and should, be a no-brainer. Problem
with your DOCKR vehicle? Simple - we’ll fix or swap
it. Whatever it takes, with maximum up-time and
minimum down-time.
