ICBF 2023 to take place on 24-26th November at Fully Charged Europe in Amsterdam

Fully Charged LIVE, the world’s no.1 clean energy & electric vehicle show, is one of the fastest growing exhibitions globally with 6 shows scheduled in 2023, including Australia, Canada, Europe, the UK and the US. The show in Amsterdam, end of November, will include the International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF).

Fully Charged LIVE is a ‘festival of electrification’ with decarbonisation at its heart. Events feature an array of relevant visitor attractions including the ‘Home Energy Advice Team’, ‘Electric Launchpad’ and ‘Watt Drive?’

Fully Charged LIVE and the International Cargo Bike Festival (ICBF) have announced a partnership that will see the world’s foremost cargo bike expo line up alongside November’s Amsterdam show. The ICBF, which has been running since 2012, is known as the event where the cargo bike world gathers to explore the latest trends in family cycling, pedal-powered logistics and much more.

Taking place in a freestanding area alongside Fully Charged LIVE, the ICBF will host around 70 exhibitors showcasing two, three and four-wheeler cargo bikes for personal use as well as for organisations, plus a test track on which to take them for a spin. In addition, there will be a whole host of inspiring and informative talks and sessions featuring speakers from across the world; both on the main Fully Charged LIVE stages and on a special International Cargo Bike Festival mini-stage.

Jos Sluijsmans, Director & Founder of the ICBF, said: “We are thrilled to be working with the team at Fully Charged LIVE. We’re passionate about cargo bikes and working with them allows us to build on our success so far; scaling up our reach and impact. There’s so much enthusiasm, knowledge and innovation in the cargo bike industry and we want to put that in the spotlight.”

Maarten Pompen, Event Director, Fully Charged LIVE Europe, said: “The Fully Charged SHOW is about much more than just electric cars. We share the same goals as the International Cargo Bike Festival and this partnership further demonstrates our commitment to encourage individuals and institutions to #StopBurningStuff. We’re hyped to work together with the ICBF team to cooperate on creating the most inspiring event we can. We can’t wait to welcome everyone in November and know this partnership will ensure that the second edition of Fully Charged LIVE Europe is even bigger and better than the previous edition.”

Tom Parr, ICBF Co-organiser, said: “We’ve dubbed the 2020s the ‘#DecadeoftheCargoBike’, and we’re confident that by working with Fully Charged LIVE, we can do our bit to ensure that by 2030, the cargo bike has truly reached the mainstream. As we strive towards climate and social justice, the cargo bike has a crucial role to play; this partnership allows us to spread this message even wider.”
