Our take
Electric vehicles (EVs) are beginning to see mainstream adoption, not just by private customers but across the deliveries sector too. Given the increased consumer focus on environmentally friendly consumption, we’re likely to see more businesses look to adopt the technology. This could spell good news for Papaya, who is developing a fleet management system specialising in EVs for last mile deliveries.
The company’s platform aims to centralise all aspects of fleet management, from the supply of vehicles to insurance, riders, and maintenance. This is a progression of existing EV fleet management services like those offered by Geotab and Driivz, for example, who focus predominantly on monitoring only charge and location. It more closely approximates Fleetio, but for electric instead of fuelled vehicles.
Whilst Fleetio may well expand to cover EVs more generally (it would be foolish not to), Papaya may be winning a critical headstart in making them its primary focus. Last mile delivery is anticipated to continue growing substantially alongside eCommerce and on-demand deliveries, as are the associated issues (noise, pollution, energy consumption). EVs are touted as a strong solution to which many service operators will pivot, and Papaya has positioned itself to ride the wave.
