It’s an exciting time for Zeelo, with wonderful new opportunities on the horizon; our partnership with Zenobē is creating opportunities for our operator partners to trial electric fleet infrastructure, we recently launched the UKs first fully electric school bus, aided in the creation of over 8000 new jobs and we are hard at work, driving our Net-Zero strategy and goal of fulfilling over 8,000,000 journeys on electric buses by 2030.
We cannot deny that the landscape of the conventional day to day work environment has changed quite drastically over the last few years. Organisations across South Africa have been forced to reexamine the way they conduct business in an effort to navigate what has become known as the new normal.
We are excited to announce an exciting and innovative new partnership with the international EV fleet and battery storage specialist Zenobē in a concerted effort to advance the fleet electrification of private bus transportation in the UK.
As part of Zeelo’s ESG Strategy to drive the transition towards net zero-bus transport in the United Kingdom by 2030, we are delighted to announce that Dwight School London has become the first independent school in the United Kingdom to adopt a new electric bus service for their students.
Many students use a bus or other form of public transportation to get to school, and this frequent trip offers an opportunity for unsupervised social interaction and, of course, catching up on any last-minute homework. But schools must realise how crucial it is to ensure that safety and welfare rules are followed while providing transportation services.
Thank you to Alice Lane, one of our Senior Operations Managers at Zeelo for taking us through how we cultivate and sustain such fantastic relationships with our operator partners and just what goes into the operational logistics of operator partnerships.
The task is not for the faint-hearted so we have split the UK teams across north and south across all business verticals to streamline operations.
