Brisbane Brand Takes Home the Pizza – and More
Brisbane, Queensland
In mid-November Domino’s Pizza announced a new delivery vehicle with partner Benzina Zero after completing successful trials of the Benzina Zero V-50 (V-50) seated e-scooter within a number of stores.
The V-50 is classified as an e-scooter or personal mobility device (PMD) with a seat position that provides safe and comfortable usage for all operators.
“By utilising the Benzina Zero’s V-50 e-scooter we are not only able to deliver our pizza
more sustainably, but we are also able to provide additional e@iciencies and cost
reductions to our franchise partners”, says Angela Richardson, Domino’s Partnership
Systems Manager.
“Our partnership with Benzina Zero has continued to expand to a range of quality delivery
vehicles including e-bikes, e-mopeds and now e-scooters, allowing our franchise
partners to deliver hotter, fresher pizza faster.”
“We are thrilled to receive the approval for the V-50 from Domino’s, and we have
strengthened our partnership to assist DPE to achieve their goals for last mile
sustainability”, says Ben Silver, Chief Plugger Inner at Benzina Zero Australia.
Benzina Zero Partners with Global Company’s Disaster Relief Stations
In October Benzina Zero announced a partnership with Beam Global (a USA based company that has no connection with the shared mobility operator Beam Mobility).
Benzina will supply their Duo light electric vehicles for Beam Global’s new BeamWell stations.
The BeamWell product is a self-sufficient, self-contained operational system for use in war zones and remote or disaster areas where only salt, brackish or dirty water is available because a reliable clean water supply is not available or has been interrupted.
The BeamWell system provides three essential services to regions in crisis: it turns seawater into fresh water, which is then stored in an integrated 3000-litre tank that is replenished daily; it provides a source of electricity which can be used for medical or communications devices as well as cooking and lighting; and it charges four integrated and bundled Benzina Zero electric mopeds for the rapid distribution of food, water, medications or other vital resources, to those in need. Each BeamWell includes four integrated and bundled Benzina Zero electric mopeds for the rapid distribution of food, water, medications or other vital supplies to those in need.
“Benzina Zero Duo is the perfect solution for urban mobility applications. Not only is the Duo highly versatile and configurable but is incredibly robust, extremely energy efficient and perfect for the most challenging delivery environments. We are humbled to be able to assist Beam Global to support the regions that are suffering through natural disasters and conflicts. Being able to leverage our European headquarters in Italy and our global distributor network allows us to deploy Benzina Zero Duo units rapidly” said Benzina Zero’s Chief Battery Charger, Joe D’Ercole.
Benzina Zero’s Ben Silver says that this product has potential applications for disaster relief in Australia such as during major bush fires.
One of the first things that happens in major disasters is that the electricity supply is disrupted. Amongst other consequences it means that all regular service station petrol pumps don’t work, so conventional ICE vehicles (internal combustion engine) can’t refuel and become useless as soon as they run out of fuel.
