Electric scooters and motorcycles are reshaping the last-mile mobility sector across Asia. Apart from providing a solid alternative to gas-powered two-wheelers and the use of public transport in the private sector, lightweight EV two-wheelers are also empowering businesses to adopt more sustainable practices, while at the same time, providing savings over a long-term period.
For example, in Malaysia, EP Manufacturing Behrad (EPMB), has recently announced a collaboration with electric mobility startup Blueshark and last-mile delivery service giant Grab. The program revolves around the Blueshark R1 electric scooter which we’ve talked about in the past. EPMB seeks to use the R1’s utility-focused capabilities, as well as its efficient technology to provide Grab riders with a more sustainable vehicle to fulfill deliveries. For reference, the Blueshark R1 was launched in the Malaysian market back in March, 2023.
