Built at the Arcimoto Manufacturing Plant in Eugene, Oregon, the ultra-efficient three-wheeled electric FUV is designed for everyday driving, while the Deliverator and the Rapid Responder models provide specialized delivery and emergency response services at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact of traditional gas-powered vehicles.
“This partnership represents an incredible milestone for Arcimoto and our direct-to-customer sales model. As we plan for mass production, a seamless delivery solution from our factory is vitally important,” said Arcimoto Founder and CEO, Mark Frohnmayer. “DHL’s best-in-class technology, out-of-the-box-truck thinking, and commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship drive a huge win for Arcimoto adopters, who will benefit from not only from the efficiency and joy of the Fun Utility Vehicle, but also the speed and accessibility of receiving one.”
Using its digital logistics solutions, DHL Global Forwarding will deliver the FUV vehicles directly to consumers' homes. The program will combine true factory-direct residential delivery with a seamless online user experience to allow tracking from dock to driveway, with tracking numbers informing customers of delivery date targets and shipment updates every step of the way. The distribution program will launch in two phases, initially focusing on the lower 48 U.S. states, with a later expansion slated to include Alaska, Hawaii and international destinations.
