One of the most efficient postal organisations in the world, Swiss Post has announced they are doubling their fleet of Oxygen electric CargoScooters. This will take the Swiss Post fleet to 1,000 Oxygen scooters, making this the largest electric scooter fleet in the world
"The results we have achieved to date have confirmed our choice of Oxygen as a partner and we have thus decided to extend our electric fleet to 1,000 CargoScooters in the course of 2010." La Posta, April 2010
Cost-Effective
New to the UK, the Oxygen Electric CargoScooter is easy to use, whisper quiet and most importantly, cost effective. Hire charges are from less than £179 per month, so businesses can save money as well as reducing their carbon footprint.
Compared to a conventional scooter, the CargoScooter could save fleet operators hundreds of pounds per vehicle over four years and savings can only increase as fuel costs rise. Staff will also save time not having to regularly stop and refuel!
"We chose Oxygen as one of the partners selected to build up a zero-impact vehicle fleet on the basis of the electric CargoScooter, which with its lithium-ion batteries, features advanced technology and meets our selection criteria."
Class-Leading Battery
The state of the art lithium-ion batteries used in the Oxygen CargoScooter will not lose performance over time and will maintain top performance for five years even if charged seven days a week!
"Oxygen products are suitable for professional uses involving a lot of stopping and starting, in all geographic conditions and throughout the year."
With only one moving part in its direct drive motor, the Oxygen scooter offers exceptional reliability, low maintenance and minimum operating costs.
Use inside and out!
As it uses no flammable fuel, the CargoScooter can safely go indoors at depots and warehouses for loading items directly on or off the scooter, to make the most of its 90kg load capacity.
Opportunities to brand the scooter are easy with the standard cargo box at the rear and the option of a cargo box or steel basket at the front.
The CargoScooter and battery come with a full 2-year guarantee.
