Under the partnership, ZEVO will deploy 3,000 units of the Zen Micro Pod over the next 12 months.
Zen Mobility asserts that the Micro Pod’s innovative design with 150 kg payload carrying capacity, range of over 120 kilometres per charge, and custom load body design, allow it to easily navigate traffic, ensuring timely deliveries. The company also said in a release that its upcoming Zen Maxi Pod - a 4-wheeled light electric vehicle, designed for mid to large-size deliveries, will further enhance ZEVO's delivery capabilities.

For e-commerce deliveries, ZEVO will allocate a substantial portion of the Micro Pod fleet to meet the growing demand for timely shipments of consumer goods. Simultaneously, an equal number of units will be dedicated to grocery delivery services, striking a balance between these two vital sectors.
