SG Fleet and Zoomo partner to electrify last mile fleets

SG Fleet and e-bike manufacturer Zoomo have announced a partnership which will enable fleets within SG's customer network to expand and electrify in the last mile delivery segment.
 
Furthermore, the partnership offers collaborative R&D opportunities for both parties. Zoomo will gain insights into fleet management knowledge and processes, while SG Fleet will benefit from Zoomo’s expertise in e-bike management and access to their network of maintenance suppliers.
 
Through the partnership, SG Fleet will enable Zoomo to offer its fleet of e-bikes via novated leasing or salary packaging schemes. These financial arrangements deduct lease payments for a vehicle from pre-tax salaries to provide a significant tax benefit to employees of participating companies.
 
Robbie Blau, CEO, SG Fleet, said: “This is an important investment for SG Fleet. We're excited to work collaboratively with Zoomo in this arena that will allow us to deliver light electric vehicles as a viable, sustainable mobility alternative to enhance our customers' fleets.”
 
Mina Nada, Co-Founder and CEO, Zoomo, said: “We are proud to partner with a leading Australian company like SG Fleet to help consumers and enterprises reduce the environmental impact of their transport.
 
“Light electric vehicles are the heart of our business and offer transformative growth. Our expertise in this space builds a strong platform for SG Fleet’s customer offering. We see immense potential in offering SG Fleet’s customers access to cleaner, more commercially viable solutions for last-mile delivery."
 
Lincoln De Kalb, Group Product Development Manager, Future Mobility, SG Fleet, said: “Light electric vehicles are another tool companies can use on their path to reducing their transport carbon emissions. It doesn't always make sense to use a 1.5t vehicle for a particular journey if other cheaper and less carbon-intensive alternatives are available, such as e-bikes.”
