This partnership combines Urban Arrow’s high-quality hardware with Zoomo’s global sales, maintenance, software, and financing capabilities, offering customers in the urban logistics space a more diverse range of sustainable and efficient fleet subscription solutions.
Today’s announcement reinforces the shared commitment of Zoomo and Urban Arrow to facilitate the logistics industry’s shift towards greener, more cost-effective, and efficient transportation.
Urban logistics customers are turning to e-cargo bikes for more sustainable and efficient fleet solutions. These bikes can deliver goods 60% faster than vans in city centres, providing a more efficient alternative for last-mile delivery. Furthermore, e-cargo bikes can replace up to 17% of van kilometres by 2030 in major world cities, resulting in significant CO2 emission savings.
The partnership will enable Zoomo – which currently operates in the UK, Spain, France and Germany – to meet the needs of the growing urban logistics delivery sector by offering customers a diverse range of vehicle types in its fleet, including Urban Arrow e-cargo bikes (the Cargo L and XL Cargo Line Rohloff). Urban Arrow’s e-cargo bikes will integrate into the Zoomo platform, and will be offered alongside its fleet management software, servicing, and flexible finance as a true vehicle-as-a-service offer.
Michael Johnson, Co-Founder and CRO, Zoomo, said: “Partnering with Urban Arrow represents a major win for Zoomo and our customers in the urban logistics space. By adding Urban Arrow’s cutting-edge hardware into our platform, we can offer our customers even more sustainable and efficient fleet solutions, while expanding our servicing capabilities. Urban Arrow’s global reach also presents a significant opportunity for us to grow our business, while helping our customers expand their fleets and reduce their environmental impact.”
Likewise, Urban Arrow will be able to access new markets via the partnership and will have the potential to broaden their user base through Zoomo’s subscription packages. In addition, Urban Arrow’s existing and future customers get access to Zoomo’s dedicated servicing network, software platform and finance offering.
Jorrit Kreek, Co-Founder, Urban Arrow, said: “At Urban Arrow we are thrilled to partner with Zoomo. With Zoomo being the world’s leading platform for commercial micromobility fleets, we are proud to see our Urban Arrow electric cargo bikes being ridden by industry leading companies.”
Urban Arrow’s cargo bikes combine the load capacity of a van with the agility of an e-bike. They are equipped with the Bosch Cargo Line motor and a suspended front fork to ensure smooth transport from A to B. The Cargo L and XL come with multiple box variants with the ability to carry up to 620 litres, making it ideal for a wide range of business needs.
