One of the most efficient postal organisations in the world, Swiss Post, has this year doubled their fleet of Oxygen electric CargoScooters. This takes the Swiss Post fleet to 1,000 Oxygen scooters, making it 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
With a further 500 Oxygen CargoScooters also on order for delivery 2011, the Swiss fleet success is testament to the cost effectiveness, durability and reliability of this sturdy commercial delivery vehicle. This endorsement helps fleet buyers choose Oxygen as their partner over the other electric scooter brands entering this market, that do not have the credentials and longevity of the Oxygen CargoScooter, which has been specifically designed for the commercial delivery market.
Easy to use and cost effective
A full battery charge costs less than 50p, which means there are no petrol or diesel charges and you can do away with time consuming refuelling or management of fuel costs, as everything happens at your premises.
A full charge takes from 3 to 6.5hrs depending on the battery configuration chosen and this may be reduced thanks to the benefit of regenerative braking, which returns energy to the battery. The range on a full charge is 60-120km depending on the battery options and the CargoScooter has a speed of 45kph or higher depending on the business requirements. The throttle movement is controlled and smooth, delivering the power to the motor efficiently and effectively.
For commercial users, Oxygen has a leasing agreement option, from £149/month.
The CargoScooter is easy to use, whisper quiet and most importantly, cost effective, so commercial users can save money as well as lower their carbon footprint. Prices start from £3,997 plus VAT. This price includes the battery (something which is not always the case with other brands) and a full two-year warranty, including the batteries, again not always the case with other manufacturers. There are three battery options available, depending on the requirements of the fleet operator concerned.
Durable and Reliable
The rider and scooter are protected by lateral bars, both along the bodywork and built into the handlebars. Even if the scooter were to be put on its side the panels do not come into contact with the ground, so there are no replacement part costs incurred. The frame is rigid and reinforced to take the extreme loads demanded by La Posta, but still remains easy to handle and manoeuvre.
Standard load is up to 90kgs, plus the rider, distributed between a rear box and front carrier. This load weight can also be increased with a bespoke trailer, as tested and now used by the Swiss post.
The CargoScooter has been rigorously tested over the past three years in order to achieve this level of approval from such a demanding commercial operation.
“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.” La Posta
Class-leading Battery
The key to the Oxygen CargoScooter’s success lies in the use of state of the art lithium-ion batteries, which do not lose performance over time and maintain top performance for five years even if charged seven days a week.
“Oxygen products are suitable for professional use involving a lot of stopping and starting, in all geographic conditions and throughout the year.” La Posta
With only one moving part in its direct drive motor, the Oxygen CargoScooter offers exceptional reliability, low maintenance and minimum operating costs.
Use inside and out
As it uses no flammable fuel, the electric CargoScooter can be ridden indoors safely at depots and warehouses, for loading/unloading directly on or off the scooter, which again cuts down on time. The Oxygen is whisper quiet so may be used in noise sensitive areas.
Company branding is easily done as Oxygen work closely with all clients to offer the most suitable version of the CargoScooter, with bespoke branding and colour options.
