The Greenmo partnership
Greenmo is a European company focused on renting EVs to food and parcel delivery companies. The business has been Vmoto’s exclusive B2B partner in the Netherlands for more than five years.
In 2020, Greenmo’s GO Sharing completed a €10 million financing round to continue to build its ride-sharing business which focuses on electric scooter rental services.
Greenmo Group is currently expanding its operations across the Netherlands, Turkey, Belgium, Germany and Austria, while GO Sharing is planning global expansion in the coming years.
The importance of B2B partnerships
Vmoto managing director, Charles Chen, said the company is expecting more orders from Greenmo in 2021.
“We are very delighted to have secured this further significant order of 5,904 units from Greenmo Group. Greenmo Group, including GO Sharing, continues to grow from strength to strength in the Netherlands and beyond,” said Chen. “Entry into Turkey, Belgium, Germany and Austria markets form part of their aggressive global expansion plans.
“Greenmo Group has been Vmoto’s partner for more than five years and we are excited to participate in Greenmo Group’s significant growth as their preferred electric scooter supplier for their ride-share and rental delivery offerings.
“We look forward to growing hand in hand together with Greenmo Group and expect to receive further significant orders from Greenmo in 2021 and beyond.”
Vmoto’s accelerated growth strategy focuses on relationships with growing international B2B businesses like Greenmo. Through the delivery, fleet, rental and ride-sharing markets, B2B sales provide an opportunity for Vmoto to achieve significant commercial growth in the coming years.
Vmoto anticipates additional large orders in the coming months and is currently in advanced discussions with numerous existing and potential B2B customers for samples and trial periods.
Vmoto’s strategy is supported by several global electric vehicle initiatives and a turning tide of focus on sustainability. Through focusing on its B2B partners, Vmoto is well-positioned to take advantage of this and the global increase in home delivery services and ride-sharing.
