Roam and Greenspoon have come together in a unique collaboration that promises to redefine the delivery experience while championing sustainability in Africa.

In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the focus on sustainable living, and one of the core aspects of this movement is the drive towards sustainable transportation and ethically sourced goods.

This has given rise to innovative companies, including the two companies that are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment and society at large.

Roam, a pioneering electric mobility company based in Kenya, has been at the forefront of changing transportation across Africa since its establishment in 2017.

Specialising in designing, developing, and deploying electric vehicles tailored for the African market, Roam has demonstrated a strong commitment to environmentally friendly transportation solutions.

Greenspoon is an online supermarket that has earned B Corp certification, offering a wide selection of fresh products with a focus on sustainability and ethical sourcing.

B Corp Certification is a testament to a company’s high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency across various aspects of its operations, from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.

The certification process requires a company to demonstrate high social and environmental performance, make a legal commitment to be accountable to all stakeholders, and exhibit transparency by allowing public access to its performance data.

The collaboration between Roam and Greenspoon aims to enhance the delivery experience by integrating Roam Air electric motorcycles into Greenspoon’s commitment to offering fresh, local, and sustainable goods.

This partnership is expected to significantly reduce delivery times and increase delivery efficiency, benefiting both businesses and their customers.

The Roam Air electric motorcycles are designed to handle up to 15 customer orders daily per vehicle, equipped with waterproof storage tanks and strong frames to ensure secure transportation of goods.

With a removable dual battery system and portable charger, these motorcycles offer flexible charging options, minimising downtime and enabling continuous operations.

Greenspoon’s contribution to the collaboration includes providing three batteries for each Roam Air, significantly extending their range and order capacity.

With the potential to complete up to 195 orders daily and cover a range of over 225 km when fully charged, the Roam Air motorcycles are set to transform the delivery capabilities of Greenspoon.

Additionally, the zero-emission feature and substantial carrying capacity of the Roam Air motorcycles align perfectly with Greenspoon’s mission to reduce carbon footprints and support local farmers, retailers, and artisans.

The environmental impact is further reduced by Greenspoon’s innovative strategy of consolidating orders along similar routes, minimising the carbon footprint associated with delivery services.

Moreover, Greenspoon’s commitment to ethical and sustainable practices is evident in its vetting process for all products, ensuring high quality and positive social and environmental impact.
