Cenntro Receives Order for 2,000 Metro Electric Commercial Vehicles in Japan End Customers Include Amazon Fleet and Hana Cupid
November 29 2021 - 8:19AM
Cenntro Automotive (“Cenntro”, the “Company” or “We”), a
leading EV technology company with advanced, market-validated
commercial vehicles, today announced it has received an order of
2,000 Metro (Kei Car Type) electric vehicles from its channel
partner in Japan, HW ELECTRO, with deliveries expected to begin in
January 2022.
The order follows the recent announcement of
Cenntro’s Metro receiving Kei car approval as the first imported,
non-Japanese made, all-electric commercial vehicle. The Metro order
will be deployed to support last-mile delivery and logistics
companies including Amazon Fleet, Amazon’s local delivery partner
in Japan, and Hana Cupid, Japan’s largest floral gifting
association. Amazon Fleet is currently supported by 2,000 dedicated
vehicles in Tokyo and Hana Cupid has a network of 4,500 member
stores in Japan.
“HW ELECTRO has established deep relationships
with renowned companies in Japan’s transportation and logistics
sector. They are an excellent strategic partner to introduce our
vehicles throughout the country,” said Peter Wang, Cenntro's
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This purchase order
represents a significant milestone for Cenntro in Japan, one of our
key strategic markets. Japan has historically been a bellwether for
new transportation and logistics trends and the initial order for
2,000 vehicles for end customers like Tokyo’s Amazon Fleet and Hana
Cupid represents a significant market opportunity. The approval of
Cenntro’s Metro electric Kei car ahead of local brands provides us
a substantial advantage in the growing last-mile delivery sector in
Japan. We expect continued strong interest in the Metro and growing
sales momentum ahead.”
HW ELECTRO was an early advocate for
"Electric-Mobility-Innovation" in Japan and through its partnership
with Autobacs, a leading Japanese vehicle dealership, the firm is
confident the Metro, locally called the ELEMO-K, will lead fleets
to further integrate EVs into their operations.
