Road transport is responsible for 16% of H&F’s emissions. Freight accounts for 28% of fuel use, with the remaining 72% from personal travel predominantly made up of car usage, as opposed to public transport (buses, 9%).

As well as greenhouse gas emissions, transport creates air and noise pollution, with significant implications for biodiversity and public health.


Parcels Not Pollution: discounts for cargo bikes

We’re offering local businesses and organisations the chance to lower their emissions and remove polluting van and car journeys from our streets by using cargo bikes for their inbound and outbound deliveries.

As part of the scheme, local businesses, charities, organisations and market stallholders can get either:

  • Up to £1,000 towards purchasing or leasing a cargo bike; or
  • Up to 50% off the cost of using a cargo bike service in a two-month period

Walking and Cycling grants

Support borough-wide cycling

A third of car trips in London are shorter than 2km. That distance only takes about 10 minutes by bike. You can help us encourage people to get on their bikes in two ways:

  • Fund cycle training for people who are nervous, new to cycling or thinking about re-starting
  • Help us incentivise people to take up cycling by supporting our bike rental scheme.

Commuters can now park their cycles safely and securely at the FREE Hammersmith Cycle Hub.

Contact cycling@lbhf.gov.uk to get involved!

Rent a vehicle from our eco-fleet

Hammersmith & Fulham Council is offering a range of electric bicycles, e-scooters, e-cargo bikes and electric vans for businesses to hire.

North End Road e-cargo bikes

Three OurBike e-cargo bikes, built to carry up to 80kg of cargo weight for you to transport your business supplies around the borough. All you need to do is sign up and attend a free introductory session with a member of the OurBike team.

Electric vans

The vans help support small businesses looking to transport goods by taking away the finical burden of purchasing and maintaining their own vehicle as well as reducing emissions and improving local air quality.

There are four electric Zipcar vans for local small and medium-sized businesses to use for free throughout 2022. Each van is free to use and charge.

Each van is free to use and charge. All businesses need to do is re-connect the van to its electrical charging point when they return it to its designated parking spot.
