EV last-mile delivery start-up Zypp Electric has announced that it has partnered with autonomous driving tech provider Flo Mobility to expand its footprint in the autonomous electric vehicles space.
The collaboration will focus on deliveries in the Delhi-NCR region. Zypp said it aims at providing autonomous navigation solutions for the mobility industry and, therefore, autonomy is the way of the future.
FloMobility, a start-up building vision-based autonomous driving technologies for a range of vehicles, has been taken on board as part of an EVolve Innovation Program with Enterprise Catalysts, an early-stage incubator, a statement said.
Under this partnership, Zypp Electric will build a delivery bot for Zypp deliveries for distribution within large campuses, the platform said.
The delivery bot will pick up any packages left at the gate/ entry and bring them to the door. Flo Mobility will allow Zypp delivery bots to navigate autonomously during delivery.
It will keep track of Zypp Electric vehicles that are filled with consignments and waiting for delivery personnel at the warehouse gate/ entry, the company said.
FloMobility is one of the new-generation deep-tech companies shortlisted by Zypp Electric and Venture Catalyst, said the statement.
It added that their innovative autonomy-as-a-service platform coupled with an innovative business model has great potential, and Zypp Electric will nurture them for their next stage of growth with orders and money in the amount of USD 1.5 million.
“We are happy to announce our partnership with FloMobility. Zypp Electric is looking forward to making the food deliveries smoother and smarter across various locations. It will also enable Zypp electric to automatically rebalance their e-scooter fleet on-demand,” said Akash Gupta, co-founder and CEO of Zypp Electric.
“With this partnership, we intend to disrupt logistics services by automating the most inefficient parts of the delivery person journey, at the warehouse and the customer’s doorstep,” said Manesh Jain, co-founder and CEO of FloMobility.
