At the same time, we began to demonstrate the wide flexibility of Arcimoto’s ultra-efficient vehicle platform with the introduction of the Rapid Responder for emergency and security services, and the Deliverator for local and last-mile delivery.”

“We are on the cusp of retail production and realizing a vision more than a decade in the making. I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished to-date, and we are all incredibly excited about the road ahead, as we push to right-size the footprint of vehicular transportation. We look forward to sharing our progress and details of the path ahead with our stakeholders,” concluded Frohnmayer.
