What we need is for society to recognize that cities do need some trucks for deliveries and allow them on roads in a limited way without allowing all the passenger cars.

I could be wrong, but I think Paris allows small delivery trucks on streets during a certain time of day or in a limited capacity. In places that they don't allow cars.

Companies wouldn't have to make small trucks like these that use the bike infrastructure if they could use the regular roads more easily without all the cars.
