DEvio - specialised food delivery vehicle

Despite playing a central role within urban logistics, food couriers often rely on subpar equipment that doesn't cater to the delivery process. Devio was designed to improve their experience through better ergonomics, efficiency and a stronger sense of professional identity. The vehicle integrates a removable, heated food-storage unit at the front, enabled by offset steering geometry that creates space within the vehicle’s architecture. This eliminates the need for riders to carry heavy insulated packs or access storage behind the vehicle, while making order handling more efficient. Available in rent-to-buy and rental models, bikes can be acquired by all users whether they use the work as a primary or secondary source of income.
