About 5% of supply chain emissions are a result of last mile logistics and transportation, and as e-commerce booms, emissions are set to increase by 32% in top 100 cities globally by 2030.
We want to assist in reducing emissions by enabling fleets to move towards an electric and sustainable future. Having worked with fleet operators for years, we have witnessed the challenges in moving to an electric fleet first-hand.
Our product provides tools to fleet operators and their service providers to make this transition seamless.
We create market efficiencies by automating interactions between fleet operators and their service providers, and offer a one-stop platform to track and manage fleets effectively.
Has worked for 7+ years in logistics/last mile tech companies. Previously, set up a sustainable fleet at Dija (acquired by GoPuff). Felt the pain of running an electric fleet himself, and is now committed to assisting companies in transitioning towards electric fleets. Ironically, doesn’t like the taste of Papaya’s.
Worked as a Lead Backend Engineer for Deliveroo. But always had an interest in building things - built own pet health tracker app on iOS and Android. Loves EVs and uses an electric skateboard to cruise around London!
Has been in Greentech for 7+ year, taking him to New York, San Francisco and London. He previously worked in commercial strategy @ Zoomo, corporate development at @ Arrival and investment banking at Greentech Capital. And yet after all these years in electrification he still rides a non-electric bike around London.
Working with data has been Ton’s passion for a while. An MSc in AI, he worked as a Data Scientist in a challenger bank and then became an early employee at Synthesized. If you’re looking for him outside work, you may find him running around Hampstead Heath or listening to live music somewhere in London
