Exro (EXRO) partner evTS has delivered a 2022 FireFly to Santa Monica, California.

ev Transportation Services (evTS) is a specialty manufacturer producing purpose-built, pure-electric lightweight commercial utility vehicles.

The 2022 FireFly electric vehicle is configured for municipal services and will demonstrate its performance, technology and cost benefits to the city.

Santa Monica is a founding member of Green Cities California, a coalition of 20 local governments implementing groundbreaking environmental policies.

In 2021, the city launched the first U.S. zero-emissions delivery zone within one sq. mile in its downtown commercial area. The zone provides priority curb access for zero-emission delivery vehicles.

Last month, evTS signed an agreement with Exro to purchase an initial 1,000 units of its 100V Coil Drive system beginning in 2023. The system will enhance the FireFly’s performance in a wide range of applications.

In 2021, the companies signed a development partnership to extend the life of retired electric vehicle batteries.

“We are privileged to partner with Santa Monica. It leads the nation with innovative solutions to sustainably reduce carbon emissions, further incentivizing EV deployment to enable cleaner air for its residents,” said David Solomont, evTS’s Chairman and CEO. “The city’s ZE delivery zone provides an ideal use case for the FireFly as an urban last-mile delivery solution.”

“We continue to see support for fleet electrification from all levels of government, with more exciting incentive programs to drive expedited adoption each year,” he added.

Exro is a clean technology company offering intelligent control solutions to expand the capabilities of power electronics.

Exro (EXRO) closed down by 0.69 per cent trading at $1.44 per share.
