In common with many other industries and sectors the push towards cleaner forms of urban mobility has its jargon. One of the most common phrases we hear is ‘modal shift’, which to the casual observer sounds a bit ‘star trek’. However, it is an important concept and one that we at CleanCar are all in favour of. In essence, a ‘modal shift’ (in this context) means a change from one form of transportation to another, for example, switching a delivery van for an e-cargo bike.
