EAV and Halfords team up to keep e-cargo bikes moving

Oxfordshire-based electric cargo bike manufacturer Electric Assisted Vehicles has appointed Halfords as its key UK fleet service partner.

Through Halfords, EAV will offer its customers after-sales service, maintenance, and repair (SMR) packages including at remote locations. The service offered by Halfords ensures EAV customers can minimise disruption and their vehicles are never off the road for too long, while being able to maintain the high levels of business efficiency associated with EAV’s lightweight eCargo vehicles.

Speaking on the collaboration, EAV CEO and founder Adam Barmby commented, “Halfords is one of the best-known British brands, so to join forces with them on this project is very exciting.  EAV is still a small but growing business; however, we have big expansion plans with our Future Transport Vision range of Urban Specific Vehicles.  This partnership will allow us to offer service, maintenance, and repair from Halfords, a trusted large company, without losing our personal approach that is synonymous with EAV.

“The future of this space is limitless; we are reinventing the urban city formula and how businesses approach their delivery fleet, urban transport operations and last mile strategy. By switching to sustainable transport, customers can continue to deliver extraordinary service, while reducing their impact on their local environment.”

Chris Oakley, Head of Commercial and Business Development, Halfords for Business said, “We’re pleased to announce the partnership with EAV to support their fleet customers with service, maintenance and repair through our Halfords Mobile Experts. In line with the Halfords for Business strategy of helping to keep the nation’s workforce moving, this partnership helps organisations move to a future-proofed and environmentally friendly solution, whilst maximising fleet utilisation and demonstrating operational excellence.”

EAV’s customers extend to national delivery and facilities companies such as Amazon, Fed-Ex, DPD, Ryde, Delivery Mates, Veolia, LaundryHeap and Green Bike company and EVRI.  Local councils including Islington, Hackney, Dover and Westminster also utilise EAV bikes within their fleet to support their commitment to a greener and healthier future.
