HIVED is a parcel delivery service established in London that makes parcel transportation efficient, convenient, and environmentally friendly. HIVED was co-founded by Murvah Iqbal and Mathias Krieger soon after they had shut down an earlier project called Vanvas, a van-based advertisement company. On September 21, 2020, HIVED received the financial backing it required from Innovate UK, a government innovations agency. 
Their goal was to build a broadly-used zero-emission parcel delivery service at an affordable price so that companies and small businesses can reduce their carbon footprint while being able to afford the services.
At the moment, parcel delivery services are using fossil fuels to power their vans, which pollutes the environment in considerable amounts such as reducing air quality and emitting large quantities of Co2. These vans also congest the city and place strain on the drivers. Iqbal explains, “I get very irritated when I see a diesel van accelerating like crazy because you know that the driver’s under so much pressure to make up time. It’s not just the danger; it’s also better economics to not rush. If you rush, chances are you make mistakes. So you might deliver to the wrong address, or the package is chucked in the front yard. If you pay people in a way that they are comfortable spending the time to actually figure problems out, you lose significantly fewer parcels.”
HIVED was created for businesses of all sizes, and the co-founders used their process innovation and tech to create more efficient ways of delivering parcels from the business to the client using bikes, cargo bikes, and e-vans. 
“With increasing urbanization, the benefits of e-cargo bikes will only increase,” said Krieger. “We have a small fleet right now, but with 30,000 cargo bikes on the road, we could make a huge positive difference to how cities work.”
Iqbal and Krieger demonstrate their entrepreneurial abilities by recognizing the need for better, faster delivery services and combining it with the environmental problem of rising CO2 levels to create a partial yet effective solution to both.

This is a really cool company! I have been intrigued by e-bikes and their capabilities. Great job presenting the company, I was able to understand the problem and see how their solution solves it.
I think this is a very interesting idea. I don’t know how effective this idea would work as you get further outside of cities, but this can definitely reduce emissions within cities significantly while still being able to offer pretty quick service. Solid idea!
Interesting post! I would love to see how a company like this would do in areas like New York, Los Angeles, or any other big city! It is also a great opportunity for job openings that wouldn’t necessarily be too difficult to fill!
This is so interesting! I would never have thought about this being an issue I think this is a good example of solving a problem that we didn’t even really realize we had! Great job!
