Last mile delivery vehicle tests begin

Due on sale in 2028, the zero-emission Evolv quadricycle has been designed for low cost, high efficiency operation. The L7e category vehicle matches the cubic load capacity of mid-size vans despite being 50% lighter, pushing the boundaries of the logistics sector.

The new investment from global bank Barclays, which joins a roster of strategic investors, will support the next phase of Evolv’s development by testing the technology with logistics firms using 10 vehicles for engineering signoff.

Initial client testing will use the demonstrator vehicle showcased at Cenex, with sessions being booked for 2024 and early 2025, obtaining as much feedback as possible to inform the final design that will enter production.

ELM Mobility is keen to engage with a range of potential customers but is particularly interested in logistics companies that are operating primarily in inner cities.
