Five express delivery firms in south Chinese city of Shenzhen signed agreements with local authorities on Saturday, pledging to outdate electric motor tricycles in two months.
The five firms include SF Express, JD, Yhd, Sinfor and Deppon, said the local traffic management bureau.
The firms were given 3,046 electric bicycles in quotas to fill the gap. They also will buy electric minivans.
The city launched a campaign to ban the use of motorcycles and motor tricycles in late March, triggering harsh backlash particularly from the express delivery industry.
