Today, through our distribution networks, we supply over 200 dealers worldwide supporting conservation agencies, law enforcement, farmers, and postal workers with a utility-first, safe, reliable, quiet, and easy-to-use vehicle. New Zealand continues to be our headquarters and where the majority of our team is based, including our world-class R&D team.
Through our strategic partnership with TPK Holdings, a Taiwanese electric component manufacturing company, we have a best-in-class manufacturing partner. TPKs investment in UBCO provides buying power, as well as manufacturing capability which helps UBCO respond rapidly to customer requests. With supply chains that ensure traceability and component quality, UBCO can expand production capacity over time to fulfil increasing demand from fleet customers globally.
In September 2024 we announced an exciting deal with Australia Post to replace their traditional gas powered motorcycles with a sustainable, electric alternative. Driven by a commitment to reducing emissions, costs, and enhancing safety for Australia Post’s team members, we designed a bike that would redefine postal delivery – the DUTY Electric Motorbike.
The launch of DUTY, and the Australia Post fleet deal, heralded a shift in strategy for the business to become a leading provider of utility vehicles to fleet customers. Thus positioning our utility-first vehicles as essential tools for transforming work and delivering operational efficiency for fleets.
