PTT Post, the Dutch post office, employs 25,000 full-time post carriers and 10,000 part-timers. They handle 23 million letters and packages daily and deliver them to 7.2 million different addresses in the Netherlands. The advanced Rood Runner (pronounced ‘Roadrunner’) allows the delivery worker to carry more post with less effort. This new tricycle cart being introduced by PTT Post is ideal in areas with traffic restrictions. By enlarging the delivery worker’s action radius, it increases the efficiency of the operation. It also saves on motor vehicle kilometres. PTT Post’s new post delivery cart is full of bright ergonomic ideas. When steered, the wheels move but not the load container; a feature that is important because it eliminates operator backstrain. The pedal drive is supplemented by an electric motor which provides up to half the power needed to propel the vehicle. Besides moving off more quickly from a standstill, the cart is easier to propel uphill, over bridges than the traditional mail-carrier’s bicycle. The mail is protected from weather and theft by a plastic container with an electronic lid lock. On loan from PTT Post.
