Zapp EV Secures Required Regulatory Approval Enabling First Customer Deliveries in the United Kingdom
July 15 2024 - 11:14AM
Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (Nasdaq: ZAPP) (“Zapp EV” or
the “Company”), owner of “Zapp”, the British electric vehicle brand
on a mission to revolutionise personal urban mobility, today
announced initial units of its i300 urban motorcycle have received
motorcycle single vehicle approval from the Driver and Vehicle
Standards Agency in the United Kingdom. Following this approval,
the i300 may be used on public roads in the United Kingdom, paving
the way for sales of the i300 to Zapp’s first customers. Zapp
expects these first deliveries in August 2024, ahead of wider
commercial rollout in Europe and Asia in the following months.
Swin Chatsuwan, Founder and Chief
Executive Officer of Zapp EV, said: “This approval of the
initial i300s to arrive in the United Kingdom for customers further
validates our commitment to quality and fit-for-purpose engineering
and design. We look forward to the first customer deliveries, which
will also showcase our convenient drop-ship-direct-to-customer
order fulfilment by Zappers completed from our branded Zapper vans.
Our business model is built for Zapp to scale rapidly, and these
first sales will be another important milestone on the road to
launching more widely in Europe while pursuing homologation in
India, Thailand and additional countries in Southeast Asia.”
