“The ACT Expo is the ideal platform to showcase that the SOLO is not just the perfect solution for personal transportation but for commercial and fleet applications as well,” ElectraMeccanica CEO Paul Rivera said in a statement.
“Our attendance at the event is aligned with our company mission to maximize efficiencies; visitors will see that it’s ideal for pizza, grocery, small parcel and post deliveries. The SOLO is also a great alternative for security companies and those similarly interested in single-occupant, short distance travel, who want to reduce vehicle and operational costs. We look forward to showcasing the practical benefits and versatility of the SOLO EV next week.”
