I suggest you look at www.Copenhagenize.com as there's lots of info on this there that might help.
2 companies operating in France are La Petite Reine www.lapetitereine.com & Urban cab www.urban-cab.com/
ECF submitted a project for funding called CycleLogistics, dedicated to promoting cargo bikes & trikes across the EU.
We expect news on this in Dec. If we get it (when we get it :-) ), let's talk again as we may be able to help each other out.
Sincerely,
Dr Randy Rzewnicki

A very enthusiastic Kiwi gentleman used to tout his bicycle-delivered
sandwiches every lunchtime in a London office I worked in. These guys, I
think: http://www.darwinsdeli.co.uk/
And I noticed this news from Dublin last week...
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/1117/1224283529245.html
I see that in the UK there's a £5k subsidy for replacing your diesel van
with an electric van. As far I can see, though, there's no help,
encouragement or even suggestion that one might replace it with a cargo
trike...
cheers,
Joe
