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.”

We are very grateful to work in partnership with Stadtwerke Bonn during the carnival session, as they generously support us by providing us with a fleet of electric cargo bikes to use at Rosenmontag. A million times thank you!
