Climate-friendly at the parade

“The UN Funken are once again relying on e-cargo bikes from SWB Bus and Bahn for the 2026 carnival season. The United Nations Carnival Society places particular emphasis on climate-friendly mobility during the Rose Monday parade. And, of course, the municipal utility’s subsidiary, as a promoter of local traditions and a driver of sustainability, is happy to support the association in this endeavor.”
