Repeat order spells growth opportunity

Additional orders are expected through the first half of financial year 2021.
VMT Managing Director Charles Chen commented:
‘Greenmo Group, including GO Sharing, continues to grow from strength to strength in the Netherlands and beyond, having entered Turkey, Belgium, Germany and Austria as part of their aggressive global expansion plans.
‘Greenmo Group has been Vmoto’s partner for more than five years and we are excited to participate in Greenmo Group’s significant growth as their preferred electric scooter supplier for their ride-share and rental delivery offerings. We look forward to growing hand in hand together with Greenmo Group and expect to receive further significant orders from Greenmo in 2021 and beyond.’
How much opportunity is there in electric scooters?
VMT’s focus is on growing international B2B sales into the delivery, fleet, rental and ride-sharing markets.
A strategy that is supported by various European governments’ initiatives to encourage consumers to adopt electric vehicles.
Even with the impacts of COVID-19 resulting in a reduction of public transportation use, the uptick in home delivery services for food and parcels has helped to offset this loss in demand.
The company says it is well positioned to provide delivery services, which they say provide personal ‘green’ transportation, have strong load capacity for delivery operations and can operate over range with swappable battery features.
On a more macro-level, VMT could stand to benefit from the growing trend of ‘green’ investing.
