Sydney-headquartered micromobility and e-bike company Zoomo has struck a deal to offer its electric bikes to customers of commercial car fleet manager SG Fleet.
SG Fleet became an investor in Zoomo earlier this year as part of the company’s $A27 million Series B funding round, and will now offer Zoomo e-bikes to its existing customer base, with a particular focus on “last-mile” delivery fleets who are looking for sustainable and commercially viable options.
The e-bikes will be offered via novated leasing or salary packaging schemes, which deduct lease payments for a vehicle from pre-tax salaries to provide a significant tax benefit to employees of participating companies.
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,” said Lincoln De Kalb, the of product development at SG Fleet.
“It doesn’t always make sense to use a 1.5 tonne vehicle for a particular journey if other cheaper and less carbon-intensive alternatives are available, such as e-bikes.”
Mina Nada, the co-founder and CEO of Zoomo, said light electric vehicles offer transformative growth for the business.
“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.”
