Disptach will launch 'purpose-built' e-scooter

On Wednesday, Electric scooter manufacturer Disptach informed that it is planning to launch its first purpose-built e-scooter in the first quarter of the year 2023. The Company claims that its Dispatch e-scooter will be the first purpose-built scooter in the world. In a press release, the EV company further said that this will allow new business models with flexibility to pivot when business demands, all without replacing the fleet. The Electric Scooter maker then told that it has collaborated with one of the largest contract manufacturers in the world for its e-scooter, which has manufacturing plants spread across 35 locations in the country with a total installed capacity of up to 6 million scooters per annum. The EV maker further informed that it has secured a tier-1 supply chain for all critical components, which includes mechanical parts, electronics, and powertrain components.

In a statement, Rajit Arya, co-Founder and CEO of Dispatch Vehicles said, "Fleets are currently stuck with vehicles designed for personal ownership, without the right infrastructure or relevant services under one unified ecosystem. This is a problem that directly affects the earnings, efficiencies and experience of gig economy workers and fleets alike; hence, becoming a barrier in the transition to electric vehicles. With the Dispatch e-scooter, we plan to change the fleet dynamics for last-mile mobility making it more profitable.”
