Under this new partnership, Zypp will get Sun Mobility's electric mobility solution comprising leading cargo vehicle models integrated with smart batteries. It will also have access to the latter's wide network of battery-swapping stations, called Swap Points, on a pay-per-use plan bundled with unlimited battery swaps. The company says that by opting for swappable battery EVs, Zypp will have the flexibility of using different vehicle models across the fleet but a common battery swapping infrastructure.
