Swap Station Mobility Limited (SSM) has partnered with Glovo and Siltech World to deploy electric motorbikes, smart swappable batteries, and a network of quick interchange stations across Lagos State.
The partnership will provide Glovo couriers with electric motorbikes, offering a cheaper alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles.
Electric Vehicles (EVs) are provided on a lease-to-own model while also offering riders a unique “pay as you ride” or “weekly subscription” to access SSM’s battery swap and charging facilities, technical support, and insurance, licensing, and routine maintenance services coverage.
To increase adoption, Swap Station intends to build a network of solar-powered automated quick-change battery stations along major demand routes and logistics bases, starting in Lagos and surrounding states over the next twenty-four months.
The head of Operations at Glovo, Ify Adah, stated, “By 2030, our goal is to have about half of our orders delivered by non-combustion vehicles. So, we are very excited and look forward to working with Swap Station and supporting our couriers with cleaner and more cost-effective transport solutions.”
Swap Station is an integrated EV financing and battery charging infrastructure development company that provides fleet owners, businesses, and users operating in logistics and last-mile connectivity in Nigeria with access to electric 2-wheel and 3-wheel vehicles, swap station infrastructure, swappable batteries, and a hub for repairs and maintenance services.
