Munich, February 18, 2021 – GOVECS, Europe's leading manufacturer of electric scooters, cooperates with Teltonika. The partner company develops Internet of Things solutions, just like the connectivity-box TFT100, which meets GOVECS’ needs perfectly. When searching for a supplier, it is important to GOVECS that the connectivity-box is manufactured regional in order to keep the supply chain in Europe. Teltonika, based in Lithuania, is considered the technology leader in its field, which was one more major issue during the decision process. Teltonika is closely working with GOVECS engineers to make sure that none of the details goes unnoticed. “We are convinced that we have found the perfect partner in Teltonika. The technical and customer support, we have received already, is from highest quality”, says Thomas Grübel, founder and CEO of GOVECS. Martynas Osauskas, CEO of Teltonika Telemedic & Smart Autonomous Solutions, adds: “Arguably, GOVECS Group has grown a reputation of a professional and TOP manufacturer of electric scooters. For us, it is an honor to have it as a trusted partner in the European market and all over the world. It takes time to build a successful partnership. Thanks to the synergy and common trust, gradually built over the last year, now we are at a very fruitful partnership path." 

Munich, August 26, 2020– GOVECS, Europe's leading manufacturer of electric scooters, together with its financial partner Mercator-Leasing, is offering an innovative corporate scooter leasing model, which is only available in Germany so far.

Munich, June 03, 2020 – GOVECS is now offering ZOOM SHARING fleets across Germany as a franchise concept and is a consultant for cities, municipalities and companies that want to offer networked electric scooter fleets – from just 20 vehicles. In this way, the leading manufacturer of electric scooters in Europe is not only broadening its position, but also creating an additional range of urban mobility that relieves car traffic in urban areas.

GOVECS currently operates ZOOM SHARING as its own sharing project in Stuttgart with 200 E-Schwalbe, which were awarded as best e-scooters by the ADAC in 2019, among other things, because of their strong drive system. The city in Baden-Württemberg serves as a live showcase and demonstrates how sharing can work efficiently.

Munich, May 7, 2020 – GOVECS is offering a new e-scooter sharing service called "ZOOM SHARING" in Stuttgart starting from Friday, May 8, 2020. The leading manufacturer of electric scooters in Europe helps the city to reduce particulate matter in the basin, to provide citizens an alternative to existing urban mobility offers, and to relieve the burden caused by private vehicles in the urban area.

Munich, April 2, 2020 – GOVECS AG, Europe's leading manufacturer of electric scooters, acquires the Munich-based service provider LiveCycle as part of an asset deal effective April 1, 2020, tripling its network of sales and service points.

The infrastructure and offer of the company, which was founded in 2016 and has already been successfully cooperating with GOVECS, optimally complement the existing structures in the B2C area of GOVECS SCOOTER: In addition to Munich, Berlin and Stuttgart, the increasing demand in conurbations such as Hamburg, Frankfurt and Cologne can now also be met.

In the medium term, we want to build the best service network in Germany for electric scooters and bicycles, both stationary and mobile," says Thomas Grübel, CEO of GOVECS, when explaining the company’s decision.
