From need to concept
VUF Bikes was originally the result of a pilot project to collect waste by bicycle that was carried out for more than 24 months. Today, VUF Bikes is a utility bike concept specific to the transport of large loads and volumes in urban, industrial and off-road environments.
In 2014, La Recyclette was born: the starting point of VUF Bikes.
VUF Bikes collaborates with more than twenty French SMEs to deploy tricycle vehicles on the market, 90% of the value of which is created in France.
Birth of the brand VUF Bikes.
VUF Bikes is officially launched, embodying our commitment to sustainable and efficient mobility. This crucial step realizes our ambitions and our dedication to decarbonizing last-mile logistics in Europe.
That year, we took a major step forward with the start of the industrialization of our cargo bikes.
In 2022, VUF Bikes completed two significant fundraising rounds totaling 5 million euros, a milestone that underlines investors' confidence in our vision and our growth potential.
In 2024, we reached a new peak in our evolution with the expansion of our production capacity to 3000 cargo bikes per year.
Cargo bikes, e-trikes, trailers: we've made them our job. Asphalt, gravel, cobblestones: we've made them our playing field. Professionals: our priority.
We are cycle logistics enthusiasts who stop at nothing. We are designers, manufacturers and, above all, users. We are dreamers of a different city. Smoother, more sustainable, smarter. The challengers of urban spaces.
We are committed entrepreneurs serving the entrepreneurs of tomorrow. We are passionate defenders of carbon-free kilometers. We are VUF Bikes, and we have chosen to travel this road alongside you. VUF Bikes - The road is our playground.
A company with impact
At VUF Bikes, we make eco-responsibility a point of honor and integrate it directly into our production activities.
Here are some of the elements that demonstrate our commitment to more responsible and sustainable production:
Centralization of our production in a single workshop:
By bringing our production together in a single location (Pessac), we aim to reduce our carbon footprint while limiting travel and optimizing our resources. As our production workshop is close to our offices, we can adapt with agility and respond quickly to the specific needs of our customers, partners and the market.
Collaboration with French and European suppliers:
VUF Bikes favors working with local suppliers to support the regional economy while reducing our transport-related carbon footprint. Whether for welded structures or VUF-specific components, we source mainly from French and European partners, helping preserve local jobs and the economic vitality of our region.
Responsible internal waste management:
We attach great importance to managing our waste internally. In our production workshop, an efficient sorting system has been set up to minimize our environmental impact by promoting the recycling and recovery of materials.
Our CSR commitments
Our eco-responsible actions include the reuse of packaging, the choice of sustainable materials and close collaboration with suppliers to minimize and/or optimize packaging.
We adopt a circular approach by reusing parts from the after-sales service. After a rigorous analysis, reusable ones are refurbished or reinjected as refurbished parts, avoiding waste and reducing our carbon footprint.
*parts that have already been used are never put back into service on a new product.
In our retrofit process, each recovered part is subjected to mechanical analysis. Those with structural defects are discarded to ensure quality and safety.
For those selected, we assess the time and cost required to upgrade them. If they meet our criteria, they are modernized according to the latest version in force and then reintroduced to the market as retrofitted parts.
In 2023, we took significant steps by recruiting six assemblers through on-the-job training contracts (AFPR), promoting inclusion and supporting career changes.
We have also enriched our team by welcoming two foreign workers, reflecting our commitment to cultural diversity within our company.
These initiatives are part of our overall corporate social responsibility approach, aimed at creating an inclusive work environment that respects diversity.
