Problem
Urban workers such as engineers, technicians, tradespeople, delivery and sanitation staff often rely on vans or trucks that cannot navigate narrow streets, bike lanes, or congested city centers, leading to lost time, high parking costs, and emissions. The need for a versatile, low‑emission vehicle that can carry tools and cargo while fitting into tight urban spaces remains unmet.
Solution
CityLab offers modular, zero‑emission mobile workstations and e‑trolleys that replace traditional vans with compact, bike‑lane‑compatible electric platforms. Each platform can be fitted with interchangeable Workshop, Cage, or eTrolley modules, providing ergonomic handling, secure cargo storage, and all‑day electric range. The system is designed for easy swapping of modules, allowing a single fleet to serve multiple job types and adapt to changing workload demands. By eliminating the requirement for a driving licence, CityLab expands the available labor pool and reduces operating costs compared with conventional EV or ICE vans. The vehicles leverage swappable batteries and lightweight chassis to deliver up to 50 km of range and payload capacities up to 500 kg.
Target Audience
Primary customers are urban engineers, technicians, tradespeople, sanitation and maintenance crews, as well as last‑mile delivery and postal services that operate in congested city environments.
