EUGENE, Ore. – Arcimoto, Inc., makers of rightsized, outrageously fun, ultra-efficient electric vehicles, announced the Deliverator has been named 2022 Overall Electric Vehicle of the Year in the annual AutoTech Breakthrough Awards. The awards program recognizes the top companies, technologies, and products in the global automotive and transportation technology markets.
Built on the modular Arcimoto Platform and designed for local and last-mile delivery, the Deliverator features a top speed of 75 mph, 102 city mile range, 28 cubic feet of cargo space, and a rightsized footprint that allows three vehicles to be parked in a single space.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from AutoTech Breakthrough. The Deliverator addresses the massive opportunity to rightsize and electrify last-mile delivery, which has traditionally been dominated by expensive, oversized, polluting delivery trucks and vans,” said Jesse Fittipaldi, Interim CEO of Arcimoto. “We believe that with every delivery, our customers will enjoy meaningful per-mile savings as well as a boost in brand awareness as the Deliverator turns heads wherever it goes.”
With its small footprint, cargo-carrying capacity, and ample battery life, the Deliverator overcomes urban gridlock, pollution concerns, and parking constraints to create a superb last-mile delivery solution, all at a fraction of the operating costs of traditional delivery vehicles.
“Businesses of all kinds are searching for small-footprint, sustainable delivery vehicles that will cut costs, increase revenue and improve the customer experience. The well-thought-out design of the Deliverator allows drivers increased maneuverability, resulting in quicker delivery times,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of AutoTech Breakthrough Awards. “Arcimoto’s Deliverator has overcome urban gridlock, pollution concerns, and parking constraints to create a superb last-mile delivery solution. Congratulations on being named Electric Vehicle of the Year.”
