Canoo Inc. (Nasdaq: GOEV), a high-tech advanced mobility company,
today announced that the company has signed an agreement with The
AA, the UK’s No.1 breakdown provider, to enhance the customer
experience with premium service and repair for Canoo’s commercial
fleet and government customers throughout the United Kingdom.
The AA (Automobile Association) has a rich history in the UK,
having been established almost 120 years ago. It has evolved from
its origins in providing roadside assistance to becoming a
significant player in managing a vast fleet of vehicles for
businesses. With a breakdown customer base of over 11 million
business vehicles, the AA offers a comprehensive range of services
tailored to various vehicle types, including cars, vans, and trucks
both under and over 3.5 tons.
As the UK progresses towards its net-zero target by 2050, the
demand for electric commercial vehicles will continue to grow
significantly. This surge will create a corresponding increase for
trusted and reliable service for these commercial electric
vehicles. The AA provides comprehensive maintenance and
complementary services, including emergency roadside assistance,
commercial electric vehicle charging support, equipment evaluations
and specification, and fleet management connected tools.
“The AA, which was established in 1905, has an impeccable
reputation and response time and will provide our commercial and
government customers in the UK with access to world-class expertise
in electric commercial vehicle service, maintenance and repair
including breakdown services, and charging infrastructure support,”
said Tony Aquila, Investor, Executive Chairman, and CEO of Canoo.
“Minimizing downtime for commercial fleets is essential for
maximizing productivity and profitability. Every moment a vehicle
is off the road translates to lost revenue and potential delays in
service delivery, which can ultimately affect customer satisfaction
and reputation. We are partnering with The AA to ensure shorter
downtimes, enhance productivity, improve service quality, and
ultimately driving increased business productivity.”
The AA will provide the following services for the company’s LDV
130, LDV 190 and other commercial vehicles as follows:
- Specialised Breakdown Cover: expert breakdown
cover for electric vehicles ensures that drivers have access to
24/7 support. The AA’s trained technicians are equipped to handle
battery-related issues and other EV-specific challenges, providing
peace of mind for commercial drivers.
- Charging Infrastructure
Development: The AA is actively involved supporting the
expansion of the charging network across the UK. By partnering with
key stakeholders, The AA is helping to create a more accessible and
reliable charging infrastructure, enabling businesses to operate
their electric fleets with confidence.
“We are excited to partner with Canoo to provide comprehensive
support for its commercial customers throughout the United
Kingdom,” said James Starling, Business Services Director at The
AA. “We look forward to supporting Canoo and their partners,
playing a pivotal role in ensuring their fleet customers remain
operational. Our goal is to offer timely services that keep these
vehicles on the road where they belong. Our approach aligns
seamlessly with Canoo’s vision for rolling out electric vehicles.
We are committed to introducing groundbreaking vehicles as part of
our 'test and scale' strategy for fleet decarbonisation.”

serving 14 million drivers with approximately 2,700 patrols
attending an average of 9,000 breakdowns daily. The AA holds a
number of industry awards for customer service and fleet support
and is rated by drivers as the first choice for electric vehicle
breakdown.
The AA’s mission is to create confidence for drivers now and for
