(Allen Ko, Chairman, Kymco Global, announcing the launch of Kymco Ionex Commercial)"This is an inflection point for businesses and governments to make a big impact in modern transportation. Today 150 million scooters are estimated to be roaming the streets worldwide, and 5 million of them are used for commercial purposes. Every day they travel on average 7 times the distance of their consumer counterparts. They are replaced 2 times more frequently than consumer vehicles. They represent 20 percent of total energy consumption. Furthermore, unlike consumer vehicles, oftentimes the procurement of entire fleets of commercial vehicles is managed by just a few business decision makers. Hence, a conversion of even a small number of businesses to go electric has the potential to make a big impact on the environment, said Allen Ko, chairman, Kymco Global.
