Oxfordshire EV manufacturer delivers first consignment to Norway

Electric Assisted Vehicles, the Oxfordshire manufacturer of ultra-lightweight commercial vehicles, has despatched its first consignment vehicles to Europe for deliveries in Germany and Norway.

“Brexit has not been without its challenges,” said Leigh Barmby, the company’s Chief Operating Officer. “Like many British brands, we’ve had to adjust to the huge amount of new administration in our purchasing and for the EU export process. What was a straightforward procedure for delivering to Europe has now become as complex as exporting to the USA. But we’re learning the new ropes which is essential as we’re market leaders in micro-mobility, and sales to Europe have increased significantly over the last few months.”
