Laka partners with cargo bike subscription provider Dockr

E-Mobility Company DOCKR has announced that, as part of their subscription, clients in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands will now benefit from award winning insurance and fleet management system provided by Laka.

Both companies bring a modern and flexible model to their retrospective industries. With Dockr, clients pay via an all-inclusive flexible subscription model, whilst Laka offers flexible insurance contracts that allow daily policy changes; which are more suited to the changing needs of growing delivery fleet companies.

Both companies also maximise revenue opportunities for their clients. Laka has its own in-house customer services team, who provide award winning fast service to get riders back on their bikes (41 minutes is the quickest settlement), and Dockr’s secret lies within its subscription, which includes regular service at the customer’s location and backup vehicles when necessary, thereby maximising uptime for its users.

Dockr is the most recent addition to Laka’s commercial client list, which also features Decathlon, Randstad, EAV, Zapp, and Santis Global to name a few, proving that Laka is now uniquely positioned to provide a comprehensive, cost-effective and versatile commercial insurance model (covering e-cargo bikes, delivery riders, and cycles), across Europe and the UK.

Nadine van der Hoorn, Managing Director at Dockr said, ”At Dockr we look for innovation and customer-focus in all partners we work with. These are key drivers for us and our partners to grow with the disruptive Dockr Model. When starting conversations with Laka we’ve found a partner who will work with us (instead of against) to offer our customers the best possible cargo solution in inner cities. This requires courage from both of us to embrace the unknown.”

Van der Hoorn goes on to explain that, every day the inner cities become more congested with traffic, and CO2 emissions continue to rise. That’s why Dockr delivers flexible all-in subscriptions for electric cargo vehicles because they believe mobility should be easy, accessible and sustainable. Dockr helps their customers with their logistical challenges so they can focus on their core business. For businesses big or small, there is an ideal Dockr for everyone; No big investments upfront and no long term commitments. Dockr’s service and preventive maintenance ensure that subscribers vehicles are always on the road, guaranteeing maximum uptime.

Of the new partnership, Tobias Taupitz, Laka CEO said, “We listened to clients’ pain points with traditional insurance to develop a product that challenges the outdated insurance model. Laka provides tech-driven flexible policies to better suit their needs; whether they are a global company or a fast-growing (and fast-changing) start-up. Dockr is one of those fast-growing companies. We are delighted to work with the DOCKR team, who are aligned with Laka’s disruptive approach of rebelling against outdated models to do things differently, to do them better.”

Cargo bike last mile delivery services, and subscription model based offerings, both for private and company use, are continuing to transform the transport landscape, driven by the dual factors of environmental impact and accessibility, with a growing number of cities moving to minimise vehicular traffic as part of a raft of measures focused upon achieving net zero 2030 goals. These include Future Transport Zone (FTZ) schemes being supported by UK government funding. Of the FTZ Grant Shapps, SoS for Transport comments, “Funding these new zones across the country will also help us safely test innovative ways to get around, creating a greener future transport system for us all.”
