bp in JV to accelerate ‎electric mobility across Europe, India and Asia

bp and Piaggio Group plan to work together to develop and roll out a comprehensive set of services ‎for the rapidly growing number of two- and three-wheeled electric vehicles across Europe and Asia.


These vehicles – electric motorbikes, motor scooters and compact commercial vehicles – are today ‎the most highly electrified vehicle class globally, with 44% of sales and 25% of the existing global ‎fleet – or around 250 million vehicles – already electric1. It has been estimated that by 2040 the ‎proportion of sales of these vehicles that are electric may have risen to over 80% and the number ‎of electric two- and three-wheelers globally may have tripled to 750 million2.‎


Bringing together Piaggio’s extensive e-vehicle production operations and infrastructure ‎management capabilities with bp’s expertise and global reach, the companies aim to support the ‎growing adoption of electric two- and three-wheelers globally to help address city congestion and ‎reduce pollution in urban areas.‎


Under their memorandum of understanding, Piaggio Group and bp, along with affiliate Jio-bp in ‎India, will explore opportunities to work together to offer charging and battery swap stations, as ‎well as developing all-encompassing services such as ‘Battery as a Service’ (BaaS) – leasing, ‎management and recycling of vehicle batteries – and ‘Vehicle as a Service’ (VaaS) – leasing, repair, ‎maintenance and smart energy management of these vehicles. Initial efforts and focus will be on ‎India, where Jio-bp and Piaggio are already engaged in developing electric vehicle solutions. The ‎companies also intend to explore opportunities in broader Asia – in China, Indonesia, and Vietnam – ‎and in Europe.
