Brisbane-based Benzina Zero – a leading supplier of electric scooters, bikes and micro-mobility solutions – has signed an international distribution agreement with Nasdaq listed Beam Global. The agreement will see Benzina Zero market Beam Global’s products in Australia and Italy, while Beam Global will integrate Benzina Zero e-mopeds, e-scooters and e-bikes into its product bundles globally.
Notably, this will see Benzina Zero’s Duo rugged e-mopeds integrated into Beam Global’s BeamWell desalination and delivery platform which is designed to provide clean water and renewable electricity in regional and remote communities as well as global crisis zones. The Duo mopeds will be used to transport clean drinking water and supplies. While a link-up between the two companies was announced a while ago, the new agreement is, said Benzina Zero co-founder Joe D’Ercole, a major development for the company.
“This is an important day for both Benzina Zero and Beam Global. We’ve agreed to open new sales channels internationally by featuring each other’s products in sales efforts which includes Beam Global bundling our e-mobility solutions with products BeamBike and BeamWell. “The other exciting aspect of the partnership is BeamWell’s introduction to their existing customers and prospects globally, particularly in Africa and the Middle East where the need for highly resilient and sustainable mobility solutions is growing rapidly.”
CEO of Beam Global Desmond Wheatley said his company’s partnership with Benzina Zero is a step forward in addressing the unique challenges of off-grid charging in Australia while also expanding its reach into the European market. “Benzina Zero’s deep understanding of local needs and strong presence in both Australia and Italy make them an ideal partner to bring our innovative charging solutions to a wider audience. We are already including their e-mobility solutions in several meaningful opportunities which we are advancing in Europe and Africa. “Together, we are creating sustainable solutions that empower essential services and open new possibilities in the most demanding environments. This collaboration underscores Beam Global’s commitment to exploring creative business opportunities and finding new ways to increase sales without added overhead costs.”
