    Establishing alternative models (cooperatives)

Description

The Fulmo Collective is based in Leipzig and is a logistics cooperative transporting loads up to 200 kg with regular bikes as well as different kinds of cargo bikes. The collective consists of self-organised couriers, who not only constitute an alternative to corporate platforms, but also advocate better working conditions in the general market. An important part of this concept is the close cooperation with partners such as Stadtbote or CoopCycle. Another central aspect of the collective is the reliance on environmentally friendly means of transportation.
