We are Kale Collective, a London-based startup. We are building Cavolo.
With urgent and ambitious climate targets, the need to drastically cut motor traffic in cities is clearer than ever.
E-cargo bikes have been shown to consistently outcompete van-based legacy delivery services. With the rise of e-commerce and growing urbanization, cargo-bike logistics is a multi-solution to healthier and more humane cities.
Our mission is to drive the transition to cargo-bike logistics in dense urban areas, and to support the complex demands of modern last-mile operations.
Our Approach
- Intelligent sustainability. An increasing number of businesses are committing to net zero targets. We believe intelligent solutions and a sustainable future go hand in hand. We leverage modern machine learning methods to accelerate a green transition in urban logistics.
- Dancing with systems. Urban environments are inherently complex and mired in uncertainty. We explicitly represent this uncertainty into our models to support operations that are resilient to unexpected events.
- Efficiency through diversity. We build tools to empower organisations of all sizes, to support the wider ecosystem of logistics and mobility businesses.
