Fleet owners know they need to electrify, but today, the process is so

fragmented, decentralized, and unfriendly to handle that most don't even know

where to begin. That's why B—ON was created, to provide a radically simpler,

stress-free, and more fun path to give fleet owners everything they need to

solve their problems with last mile transportation through one simple,

all-inclusive process. The company's full scope of solutions provides customers

with everything they need to electrify, including proven electric vehicles,

smart delivery tools & reusable packaging, subscription access, service &

maintenance, energy infrastructure & charging management, telematics & fleet

management software, and even driver-focused solutions that make delivery jobs

cool and fun again—all through one point of contact at B—ON.

"B—ON is so much more than just a name—it is a modern, living brand that is

never static and always moving, dynamically communicating with our audience and

actively inviting them to BE ON the journey with us to a cleaner future," said

Gernot Friedhuber, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer for the company. "We took

brand creation way beyond just skin deep and designed our identity so that

everything about us pulls the customer in to the center of a meaningful

ecosystem for change."

The new services will be provided via a combination of internal capabilities

and external partnerships, including a key cooperation with global technology

leader Hitachi Group, who will support critical charging and energy management

functions for B—ON customers in Europe and Asia. Additionally, Hitachi's

venture capital arm, Hitachi Ventures, has come on board as one of B—ON's major

investment partners.

"Acquiring StreetScooter earlier this year gave us a great head start,

providing the vehicle piece of our complete electrification solution," says

Stefan Krause, CEO and Chairman of B—ON. "And now, we're very excited and

honored to be able to bring on a partner like Hitachi to support the service

piece of our plan. We feel this entire holistic solution is the key that will

finally open the door for fleet owners to make this change for good."

"Hitachi Ventures is committed to supporting key initiatives driving society's

transformation to carbon net zero. B—ON's vision of a world where last mile

transportation works for people and planet is perfectly in line with our own

and made them a natural strategic choice for us," said Tobias Jahn, Partner at

Hitachi Ventures. "Their proven product, the expert team behind it, and the

insightful holistic business model are a unique and unbeatable combination for

accelerating the electrification of commercial fleets worldwide."
