High-tech mobility company Canoo has delivered first electric vehicles to the fleet of Zeeba, a national fleet management company.
The vehicles are part of an existing agreement with Zeeba that awarded a total of 5,450 electric vehicles, with a binding commitment of 3,000 Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle (LDV) EVs for its national fleet.
Canoo vehicles are American-made Class 1 commercial electric vehicles built on the company’s proprietary multi-purpose platform (MPP) architecture that integrates all critical components. Most of service, maintenance and updates will be done over the air, which decreases vehicle downtime.
The LDV combines 120 cubic feet of cargo volume with an 80kw battery pack with the handling and turning radius of a small passenger vehicle, making it a safer and more familiar experience for drivers. The LV is a people and goods mover with passenger seating configuration and the same battery pack, visibility and handling characteristics as the LDV due to its common platform.
“Our partnership with Zeeba signifies a major step forward in the electrification of commercial fleets across the United States, where EVs are the ideal use case,” said Tony Aquila, Investor, Executive Chairman, and CEO of Canoo. “With an impressive revenue growth, Zeeba has increased its number of clients by 10 times in the last two years and has a large backlog of clients waiting for Canoo vehicles. We are excited to work with a dynamic, skilled team that is expanding its national fleet.”
Kayvon Marashi, Chief Executive Officer at Zeeba, said: “With over 1,000 clients waiting for Canoo vehicles, we are thrilled to welcome an innovative line of EVs into our fleet. Our clients are increasingly seeking sustainable transportation options, and the Canoo LDVs’ perfect blend of efficiency, comfort, and functionality makes it a game-changer for fleets of all sizes.”
