SILICON VALLEY, Calif., March 2, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tropos Technologies ("Tropos"), a leading supplier of eLSVs (electric low speed vehicles) has entered into a strategic partnership with Sevic Systems SE ("Sevic"), a premier European supplier of electrified vehicles. With this partnership, Tropos will transition away from its current Asia-centric supply chain to Sevic's European supply chain for the Tropos Motors ABLE™ vehicle platforms. These new vehicles will be available for North American distribution in the second calendar quarter of 2022.
The North America LSV market continues to move towards electrification, motivated by stringent government regulations for emissions reduction, broader availability of charging infrastructure, increasing fuel costs and the explosive growth of the last-mile delivery market sector. This is driving fleet operators and LSV distributors to focus on solutions that deliver zero-emissions and reduce overall operating costs. The partnership between Tropos Technologies and Sevic, sets a new benchmark standard for quality and durability, ensures a flexible, high-performance vehicle platform, and accelerates fleet access to the Tropos Motors ABLE™ vehicle platforms.
Sevic brings industry and technical experts, global supply chain resources, commercial operations, and local manufacturing across Europe, and has been supporting the movement to electrified solutions across the globe. Together, Sevic and Tropos Technologies set a new benchmark for quality and durability, ensure a flexible, high-performance vehicle platform, and expand access to the Tropos Motors ABLE™ vehicle platforms.
"The partnership with Sevic enhances the Tropos strategic vision to be the market leader of flexible and cost-effective commercial utility vehicle and fleet solutions and moves our supply chain to Europe and North America," said John Bautista, CEO of Tropos Technologies. "This partnership is ideally timed with our next phase of production in North America and will enable us to integrate high-caliber components into our manufacturing line, while offering best-in-class technology across a myriad of industry solutions."
"We are thrilled that Tropos has selected us as its partner and together we will become a leading supplier of electric vehicles to the North American industry at large," said Alexander Brillis, General Manager of Sevic. "Working with us has inherent advantages because of our innovative solutions, European manufacturing and R&D capabilities together with our partner Milara Inc."
