Collaboration With the World's Leading Automotive Service Provider to Support Next-Level Service and Support Across North America

MORGAN HILL, Calif., May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tropos Motors designs, builds and markets the best-in-class fully electric, compact utility vehicles, and today has announced a collaboration with Cox Automotive, the world's leading automotive service provider, to support the next level of service for the all-electric utility vehicle market. This arrangement is designed to assist customers with:

Coast-to-coast service across North America
Capability for onsite service and maintenance
More convenient servicing
Pre-delivery inspection
Factory trained service
Logistics

"We are excited to partner with Cox Automotive and raise the bar for the customer experience. We are working to provide a higher level of pre-sale and after-sale service and support that has never been available before with this class of vehicle to date," said John Bautista, Founder and CEO of Tropos Motors. "We pride ourselves in offering a superior, 100% electric vehicle for daily use, so companies can right size vs. downsize their truck work fleet. We have always brought advanced connectivity, efficiency, performance, and value, now we can add nationwide top-level service to the list," he continued.

"We are always looking to work with companies that have their customers' needs as the primary focus. Tropos Motors offers a full spectrum of fleet products and services that do just that with their full line of durable and versatile, all electric, street legal vehicles that can be utilized indoors or out, and Cox Automotive is excited to provide first-class customer service to Tropos' customers across the U.S.," said Alex Fraser, AVP of Fleet Operations for Cox Automotive Mobility.

With all the capabilities of a larger truck but in a smaller package, fleet operators see cost and environmental benefits tied to the EV. Tropos Motors offers a better solution and has successfully made the all-electric utility vehicle more appropriate for the job. Success of the Silicon Valley-based startup is also attributed to the lower costs of vehicle fleet ownership and maintenance compared to the competition.

This new collaboration comes immediately following the debut of the all-new ABLE™ NXT platform at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo in Long Beach, Calif., May 9-11, 2022.

The ABLE NXT is taking pre-orders with expected delivery beginning Q3 2022. For more information, please visit www.troposmotors.com
