COGOS partners with Three Wheels United to provide EV financing solutions

COGOS has announced its partnership with the Three Wheels United (TWU) to provide Electric Vehicle (EV) financing solutions to driver partners. This partnership will further encourage driver partners to stay relevant to the changing needs of the logistics business and get easy financing for EVs. This collaboration will enable easy financing of over 500 EVs.

Prasad Sreeram, CEO and Co-Founder, COGOS, said the changing landscape and evolving demands of clients has changed the dynamics of logistics businesses. “EV as a business model looks ideal for many, however, EV finance has been a major hurdle for a complete EV adoption. We are very excited about the partnership with TWU. Beyond ensuring acceleration of our EV adoption goals, it also helps our driver partners to be relevant to the current market demands.”

Cedrick Tandong, CEO and Co-Founder, Three Wheels United, said the company continues to expand its partnership with logistics operators making it easier for logistic partners and their drivers to switch to electric vehicles through the TWU platform. “Our partnership shows our commitment to logistic operators and their drivers who can now easily shift to economical, highly profitable and less pollutive vehicles. We welcome other partners onboard.”

With evolving new technology and models, the secondary market for EVs is nascent. These factors pose a challenge for raising EV finance for driver owners. COGOS and TWU tie-ups  address the current market challenge by providing smoother finance on the on-road price, easy payments and assured earnings. In the past, COGOS has partnered with other corporate financing and this is a major step in providing direct financing to driver partners.
