As noted in the update:

“Moving from leafy Richmond to Elephant & Castle in the middle of London made Steve Evans realize how bad London’s air was particularly for young family members – Between 2014 to 2016 more than 4,000 Londoners were hospitalized with lung problems caused by toxic air, 1,000 of which were children. In the UK as a whole, there are 40,000 premature annual deaths due to toxic air.”

As mentioned in the update, one of the biggest polluters “are delivery vans and with the eCommerce demand forecast to double by 2030, the problem would only get worse.”

So he set up XeroE “to provide companies with the option to make their deliveries using bikes, cargo bikes and electric vehicles to reduce both congestion and toxic air.”

XeroE now serves companies “wanting to make sustainable deliveries in London, Bristol, Oxford and Birmingham.”

The company also shared its monetization strategy:

  • Long term next day delivery contracts at per unit rates.
  • Same day regular supply chain distribution for SMEs
  • Premium ad hoc same day platform bookings for prestige legal firms
  • Leverage of owned/leased assets for overnight e-scooter repositionings

The company “uses sub contract owners of bikes, cargo bikes and EVs but has a core base of its own electric vans.”
