VivoPower International is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive partnership agreement for VivoPower to market and distribute Vital EV Solutions fleet charging solutions globally.

Part of the Vital Group of companies, Vital EV is a specialist UK headquartered company, offering a comprehensive range of electric vehicle charging solutions for fleet owners and is the official re-seller of Kempower charging stations and service solutions in the UK and across Africa.

The EV fleet charging solutions will be offered by VivoPower to complement Tembo’s EV conversion kits, which transform new and second-hand diesel-powered 4×4 Land Cruiser and Hilux vehicles into ruggedised EUVs for use in many sectors, including mining, infrastructure, government agencies, humanitarian, tourism, and agriculture.

Kevin Chin, VivoPower’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said:

This partnership will allow VivoPower to bundle ancillary charging solutions for our fleet-owning customers and partners who are seeking to electrify their fleets with the Tembo EV conversion kits. Vital EV’s solutions are differentiated from others in the market in that they offer satellite remote charging, off-road and ruggedised charging, as well as both DC and AC charging. This is highly relevant for some of the use cases of our customers, including for off-road and remote conditions.”
