Through the acquisition of GreenMot, REV Mobilities has taken ownership of retrofit kit solutions approved by the French government for Iveco ‘Crossway’ Euro 6 and ‘Crossway Low Entry’ Euro 5 buses.

French vehicle upfitter Groupe Gruau will promote REV Mobilities’ retrofit services to its own customers through its existing networks.

The two companies plan to sell around 5,000 retrofitted trucks and buses in France by 2030, supported by over EUR1.5m raised earlier in the year by REV Mobilities.

The company, founded in 2018, aims to create a market for the electrification of vehicles, including vans, buses, and trucks, in France.

Electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, Lightning eMotors of Palo Alto, California, and specialist vehicle, REV Group Inc of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are to co-develop zero-emission, all-electric ambulances with Leader Emergency Vehicles of South El Monte, California - a REV Group subsidiary.
