E-bike specialist Zoomo has integrated EAV e-cargo bikes into its platform, bolstering its last-mile electric fleet solutions.

Zoomo now offers financing for EAV’s range of vehicles alongside a maintenance guarantee and telematically enabled fleet management software

As official fleet partner, Zoomo will offer financing for EAV’s range of vehicles alongside a maintenance guarantee and telematically enabled fleet management software.

The announcement supports both firms’ vision of putting more light electric vehicles (LEVs) on the roads.

The EAV, with its 2m3 of cargo space, has the potential to replace the millions of vans congesting our cities. EAV’s cargo bikes are among the largest on the market, with a cargo volume of 2,000 litres and a 150kg payload. They are built to efficiently navigate urban landscapes and enable customers to make more deliveries in a shorter amount of time via their ability to access cycle lanes and safely navigate pedestrianised spaces.

Michael Johnson, co-founder and CRO at Zoomo, said: “We are bringing the vehicle leasing model from the automotive space to light electric vehicles. By integrating different vehicle types into our platform, such as EAV e-cargo bikes, with leasing, servicing and telematically enabled software solutions, we are able to provide customers in urban logistics with a one-stop solution for all their delivery fleet needs.”

The partnership will enable Zoomo to offer more efficient and sustainable fleet solutions to customers in existing and new segments, such as parcel delivery.

EAV, meanwhile, will benefit from Zoomo’s global reach in Australia, North America and Europe, while its customers get access to Zoomo’s expansive servicing network, telematically enabled software platform and finance offering.

Adam Barmby, founder and CEO, EAV, added: “Zoomo is perfectly placed to support the take up of EAVs in city centres across the world, and drive the positive difference that we’re pushing for. We are thrilled to have a like-minded partner on our mission to revolutionise the last mile, and to create cleaner, safer cities.”

Transport for London (TfL) relaunched its van scrappage scheme at the start of June, offering grants for businesses to replace petrol vans with electric vehicles, including e-cargo bikes.
