BrightDrop has several reasons to be happy as spring approaches. To begin with, the first 500+ BrightDrop Zevo 600s produced in the first quarter at CAMI Assembly, a sizable manufacturing plant in Ontario, Canada, which just just launched three months ago, have begun to be shipped. Additionally, commercial EV demand is at an all-time high, with the Zevo 600 model for 2023 having sold out. Ryder, the newest client, intends to add 4,000 BrightDrop EVs to their fleet of rental and leasing vehicles by the year 2025, which will help the momentum grow.
BrightDrop acquired more than 30 business clients in just two years, including those in the retail, rental, package delivery, and service-based utilities sectors. Along with current clients, this also includes recent additions like American Tyre Distributors, WasteNot Compost, and Rexel USA.
BrightDrop is on its way to speeding the manufacturing of electric delivery vans and reaching 50,000-unit annual volume capacity by 2025 after setting records for commercialization and the quickest plant conversion for GM.
The business’s priorities include segment-leading safety features, quality, and dependability. They are able to innovate in the auto sector in large part due to our special organisational structure as a startup inside an established market leader. They are able to concentrate on cutting-edge innovation and agility because to this structure, which also gives them access to GM’s platform assets, scale, and manufacturing power. Today, BrightDrop is accepting bookings for automobiles with the model year 2024; deliveries are scheduled to start in the middle of 2023.
