The Heart of My Business: Values

When I started ONE MOTO, I wanted it to be more than an electric vehicle brand. I envisioned a venture standing for something meaningful, something making a positive difference in this little planet of ours. Core to this vision are the values of integrity, sustainability, and community. These principles guide every decision I make and shape the way we operate daily.

1. Integrity means doing the right thing, even when it’s not the easiest or most profitable option.
2. Sustainability is about recognising our responsibility to do things the right way, ensuring our actions today do not compromise the ability of others to live well tomorrow.
3. Community, on the other hand, is about fostering connections and ensuring that our business contributes positively to society.

Blending this ethos within the structural framework of the company has led to the business being built upon five core values; Environment, Affordability, Convenience, Technology and Experience each holding equal weighting and aligning with our customers individual and corporate values (with a varied weighting ratio of importance).

“commitment to sustainability isn’t a marketing gimmick”

Aligning with ONE MOTO

This wasn’t the smoothest of routes four years ago, many companies hadn’t built their business upon values (opting for the antiquated mission statement of projecting many words without delivering real meaning), so we needed to communicate our new approach in an industry later transitioning from automotive to mobility. Seismic in task and dichotomy with the question “is this needed or a nice to have? Will the portrayal of our values and approach really be heard and appreciated by our audience?”. Six months after launching, the Universe answered the question for us, presenting one visionary customer, sharing the same leadership beliefs and drive ‘to bring change,’ here’s what they had to say;

“In my quest to find partners who share my values, ONE MOTO stood out. Their commitment to sustainability isn’t a marketing gimmick – it’s a fundamental aspect of their operations as they prioritise eco-friendly technologies and processes, aiming to reduce the carbon footprint of every delivery, improving wellbeing of the rider community and understanding the operations to craft profit increasing simulations for their customers. Adam also showed me how they had built an ESG pledge into their DNA (bold for any company let alone a start up). This alignment of values was crucial for me; I need to know that my suppliers are just as dedicated to making a positive impact as I am. Partnering with them means that every product we deliver contributes to this larger goal of environmental stewardship.

I didn’t realise the harmful impact my delivery operations have to the environment, and with several thousand bikes and riders on the roads, as well as operating many cloud kitchens,, this was a concern, yet the cost was a topic of consideration. I am making a conscious effort to reduce our environmental impact and encourage others to do the same”. Director of Fleet Operations, Leading 3PL, UAE.

Mirrored Values Matter

Our pledge, also resonates with our customers. More than ever, people want to support businesses reflecting their values as they care about how products are made, how they are delivered, and the overall impact of their consumption. By offering sustainable delivery options, we are meeting this growing demand and building a community of conscious consumers.

A Commitment to the Future

Before writing this article, I asked a few of our customers to contribute their thoughts and one, I hadn’t expected to be able to share the time responded with this, “My decision to partner with ONE MOTO is a testament to my dedication to a sustainable future. It’s about more than just reducing emissions; it’s about setting a standard for what responsible business practices look like, because it’s about showing that profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand and that the private sector have a crucial role to play.

As we move forward, I am excited about the possibilities that this partnership brings. I am committed to continuously improving our practices, always seeking ways to be more sustainable and more aligned with our core values. Together with ONE MOTO, we are not just delivering ’items’ – we are delivering a statement of responsibility and aligned with a mirrored message with the governmental leadership of the UAE”.

These have ‘fuelled our drive’ to do more, continue to lead change in the UAE and beyond. This article is somewhat of a thank you for those early adopters who took a risk that has paid off. Supplying vehicles and solutions to many of the leading (and contributing) 3rd party logistics companies, fleet operators and delivery companies of the UAE – we also pledge our commitment to support each company wanting to reduce and offset their carbon emissions, whilst increasing productivity and profit. A mission statement (of few, very meaningful words) we stand by.

Thank you for reading.

Role of Fleets in Driving Electric Vehicle Demand

United Kingdom – It has been emphasised that fleets will play a pivotal role in meeting zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) targets, especially in the absence of a significant surge in consumer interest in electric vehicles (EVs).

In 2023, fleets accounted for nearly two-thirds (64%) of all new battery electric vehicles (BEVs) registered and over half of all new registrations in the UK.

“Given the ZEV mandate, a shifting product mix from OEMs, and other factors, there’s a pressing need to find buyers for the increasing number of EVs. Unless there’s a sudden and substantial change in consumer preferences, fleets will continue to bear the brunt of this responsibility.”

Our projections for 2024 suggest a relatively stable year for new registrations, underscoring the vital role that fleets play in shaping EV demand and subsequently influencing their presence in the used vehicle market.

We share the belief fleets are poised to drive this transition forward, particularly as manufacturers are offering incentives to us. Despite the Government’s decision to postpone the ban on new internal combustion engine (ICE) sales to 2035 (UK), there’s still a challenge in changing retail perceptions. Fleets, by providing a significant portion of vehicles to the secondary market and introducing drivers to EVs, are instrumental in this shift.

A complete shift to an agency model could mean a less personalised approach for smaller fleets, as they may now have to negotiate with major OEMs directly.

How does this impact the UAE market?

In the UAE we anticipate a collective desire for stability across the automotive sector. Economic and political uncertainties pose challenges for all industry stakeholders, including fleets.

With more and more 3rd Party Logistics (3PLs), Fleet Operators and Fleet Managers working on extremely narrow margins without receiving the volume commitments for aggregators, many are looking to reduce their costs of fleet onboarding. Yet, is it the correct approach to keep looking at cost-saving? Or is there an argument for addressing the increase of profitability?

At ONE MOTO, we believe there is a balance of both, hence why we’ve brought Lease-To-Own models for fleet operators, making our electric delivery vehicles cheaper than the cost of their petrol counterpart.

FACT:

Calculating the TCO of a petrol delivery fleet vs. an EV from ONE MOTO costs over 4x (over a four year simulation).

Recently, I was introduced to an incredible team of ‘Sustainabilists’, led by Alexandra Smith and Michael Penrose from The Sustainability Group, FuturePlus based in the UK. They’ve created a business to support other businesses with their sustainable agendas and allowing them measurable metrics of achievements and ambitions.

As many of you would have witnessed at last year’s COP26 many of the world’s leaders were discussing global agendas with a troubling task of aligning goals, objectives and directives, my personal take home was one word, “action” very eloquently delivered in a speech from Hon. John F Kerry. Which got me thinking, “what is our pledge and how can we take action?”

Before COP27 in Egypt and COP28 hosted in the UAE, the team and I sat to discuss measurable ambitions and help demonstrate to the world how ‘The UAE take action whilst others talk’ not undermining the audacious complex task ahead, instead the purpose is to bring change to the forefront of our customers, stakeholders and you reading this.

Working closely with FuturePlus we’ll outlining our goals, and transparently showcasing how we, as one small business are committing to a future.

ONE PLEDGE

Becoming an ever more sustainable company is a constant journey. For us, it requires taking a broader look at sustainability and social impact. We truly believe that acting as a responsible business – one which is fully committed to positive social and environmental impact – will result in us becoming more resilient and adaptable.

We believe every company can, and should, play its part in the creation of a more just, equitable and sustainable world.

Following on from the shared sentiment of FuturePlus, “Sustainability is a practice that evolves within a company. It is a sense of responsibility that requires taking a look at all its business practices through the lens of sustainability and social impact.

It is an awareness of the employees, products, services and supply chain that are interconnected throughout a company’s business model. It is an acknowledgement of something bigger than a company’s four walls – a greater good.

We believe that when we approach sustainability as an ongoing process, there is room for continued environmental, social and financial benefit. And that acting as a responsible business – one which is fully committed to positive social and environmental impact – will result in more resilient and adaptable organisations.

Our promise to our clients, the public and the world at large is to be honest and transparent in our current sustainability standing, to share our learnings and report on our progress so others can learn by example, and most importantly, to always stay committed to our ambition for a more just, sustainable future.”

At every milestone of our journey, we’ll be showcasing just that… our journey. An agenda isn’t something we can all inject with immediacy, it starts with a step. If you’d also like to join us and the platform set our by FuturePlus click here and pledge.

Over the past three years (UAE) there have been more fatalities and accidents reported than previous years (12 riders died in April 2020). The question is why, the general opinion is the erratic riders themselves, the roads being a occupied by a frantic slur of ‘phone using’, distracted drivers. But is this really the reason for so many accidents? I took to primary research to uncover the truth, to help the UAE government find a solution to this unnecessary and avoidable series of statistics.

All of us will have driven past dozens of delivery riders every day all sporting their different ‘employers’ colours, the oranges, greens, teal, pink amongst others sat at the side of the main roads, I pull over to many, 70% of them had run out of fuel! Why? I’ll get to that later. The other 30% just needed a rest as they were suffering neck, back and wrist pain. Why? I’ll get to that too.

Hearing these issues and seeing the unrelenting heard of beaten, battered and bruised delivery bikes over my time causes me tremendous concern. As a motorcycle license holder for the past 24 years, I believe I can offer an objective assessment of a motorcycle by ear and eye. The baggy chains, squared off tyres and exhaust noise of these ‘metal work horses’ are not in a safe condition and as research proves, are also not serviced to the levels required or expected by the Roads and Transport Authority (Dubai), and why is that? I’ll address that now.

Each month the average delivery motorcycle travels 3,000kms, requiring servicing of brakes, tyres, plugs, sprockets, oil, filters regularly, yet due to the intense working pressure, many do not service as it eats in to their working hours, affecting the riders earnings.

Approximately 5 hours per month is spent in downtime of the delivery riders in the UAE — yet the working pressure remains.

Highlighting this further, a fleet of 500 vehicles costs AED 265,000 in fuel, AED 215,000 in servicing. Yet who pays these costs? Well (in most cases), the riders pay for the fuel, the servicing is taken care of by the service agreements of fleet operators — one last-mile operator said “it was cheaper to acquire the workshop, than pay the maintenance costs each year” (on a fleet of 353 vehicles).

2020 was the ‘Year of Introduction’ of ONE MOTO. Nominated and winning five awards, doubling sales, keynote speeches and seminars were all a part of the ‘education’ surrounding the brand and the business, most importantly the reason why ONE MOTO and the switch to electric is needed. We spent many months highlighting the environmental benefits (air, noise pollution) yet many companies had some want, but not the need to mandate this transition.

THE SAFETY OF DELIVERY RIDERS IN DUBAI

We then highlighted the safety aspects, which gained attention from regional governments, the valuable data we share with them to reduce ‘accident stats’ increase the welfare of riders, understanding their riding patterns and styles and discover why many were reported to faint! Although the want is there, the need was again void. With safety and welfare the addressable point here is the discomfort and riding position of 12+ hours per day placed on the riders bodies (neck, back and wrist pain), the petrol bikes you see, were not designed for such abundant and consistent daily usage. The ergonomic designs of ONE MOTO alleviate these health problems.

With the data the ONE TEAM analysed the information to understand the real-time cost-savings, increased profitability and this caught the attention of all. We needed to feed the most accurate qualified data for the operators, to showcase the benefits for EVs and what this would look like to their bottom line.

By switching to:
Electric delivery motorcycles (Byka) the cost-savings are 73.8%
Electric delivery vans (Deliva) the cost-savings are 58.6%

What other revisions to an operation could deliver these results? And the CapEx investment would breakeven in 5–6 months.

This wasn’t the story I alluded to in the title “the real life of a delivery rider in Dubai”, so I’ll get to that now.

Many of the delivery riders in the UAE are of mixed language ability, originating from Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and Nepal. However, they have all received the same training in the UAE.

This is where I stick my neck out to offer another objective finding…

Many of the riders I’ve interviewed and surveyed truly do not understand how to ride safely, the fundamentals of the vehicle they are straddling each day and most don’t care, they have a job to do “deliver to as many, as quickly as possible”. RED ALERT!!

I took to the roads upon a byka offering free deliveries to friends and customers for seven days and the results were drastic.

Car drivers would cut in front of me, honk and disregard my road position, undertaking and causing me to be very aware of them (way more so than on my electa).

My fellow peers (delivery riders) saw and greeted me at the lights, asking questions about the byka, telling me how busy they were, how many deliveries they’d done that week. All interesting factoids, then we were off to deliver goods to the destination (some more safely than others). Four riders in one day had ran out of fuel… I’ll address my earlier point now. Why? Or Why! Several of the riders were given a AED 10 per diem to buy food to help them avoid dehydration, yet as the riders have to pay for their own fuel, they used this to avoid their personal fuel expense! Plus, they “didn’t have time” to stop and refuel themselves! There’s a greater issue that needs addressing.

Day three and I felt like one of my peers, I stopped where a few had collected and started to chat, shaded under a tree we shared stories, of course they were skeptical, and the language barrier added complications, however, my takeaway was these frail looking guys sent their AED 900 to AED 1,800 back to their families each month with ‘disappointed acceptance’. None were begrudging and many mentioned they weren’t happy but “didn’t have a choice”. They felt they had no voice and were in fear of losing their jobs if they spoke out.

Several of the riders I spoke with over the week had spoken out, but nothing was done – six months later they gave up. I also asked them about the change in working conditions over the past 12 months (times of Covid) they had all increased their working hours and kms travelled by 30–40% per day! 20 riders reported they used to travel 120kms, which has increased up to 220kms! At the cost of fuel affecting their monthly salary.

There were many conversations about salary, some not receiving any and getting paid per delivery, others receiving yet had higher costs of vehicle lease, health insurance, motor insurance, even paying their visa costs.

WHAT DO THE RIDERS REALLY FEEL?

One interview I did manage to record was working for one of the most prominent food-delivery companies in the region, these were the bullet points:

“I hate my job” he began by saying.

• Paid AED 7.50 per delivery (the pay structure had changed several times since he started working)
• No health insurance
• Had to pay own visa
• Had to pay own fuel (AED 600 – 800 per month)
• Had to service his old bike every 5 days (1,250kms)
• Customers aren’t respectful.

All of his friends feel the same (not all working for the same company)

His three main concerns: Being respected for the hard work he performs, doesn’t want to live in fear all the time and he wants to be paid enough that his family in India are supported.

Surely this has to stop?! But what is the solution? We clearly understand the problem.

I believe there is one answer, that addresses all three problems; Environment, Safety and Profitability, but this would cause a restructure of operations — which can only really be implanted by regulation change. If the government wants to rid the fatal statistics, support the hyper-growth delivery sector and the welfare of those servicing the industry, a switch to EV really is the answer.

WHAT ABOUT THE CAPEX VS. OPEX CONSIDERATION?

ONE MOTO have run the figures on operating an electric fleet validating the return on investment would breakeven after 5–6 months (conservatively) and 9 months (worst-case). Could this mean the industry’s operators could report profit? Indeed it does!

One customer reported their savings and environmental focus to The National [full article], the video also says it all:

If you are an operator wanting to continue the lease of vehicles then please do get in touch and we can discuss how we can make this possible for you.

The real-time stats will highlight what the industry needs and if you truly have the want and need for a sustainable fleet whether your mandate is environmental, financial or safety — we have the answer, but you’ll need to reach out to discuss how we can work together to make it happen.

With new government regulations surrounding delivery riders and the vehicles published on 5th January this year, the regulating bodies are taking notice, so you can action before a reaction creates an unwanted must for your organisation.

My findings as the real life of a delivery rider was compounded by the insufficient training offered to ‘high in-demand’ riders. The lack of respect on the roads by drivers. So may I ask, give way, respect they are doing a job (just like the rest of us), and the pressures they are going through daily might be comparable to your own.

If you were wondering the kms in my week of “real life of a delivery rider” travelled in that week and the costs associated:

I travelled a total of 1,001 kms costing just AED 10!

Charged up 6 times.

ONE MOTO’S CEO WILL CHAMPION FUTUREPLUS ACROSS DUBAI AND THE UAE TO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS.

Launched in 12 countries to date, One Moto designs and develops electric motorcycles, bikes, vehicles and scooters for inner-city commuters and the delivery community. The company’s CEO and FuturePlus champion, Adam Ridgway, has pledged to showcase ONE MOTO’s journey towards creating a more equitable and sustainable world.

The global ONE MOTO team are incredibly proud to announce the report (to date) that we positively impact 15 of the 17 UN SDGs.

Expanding into global markets,

One Moto has been working closely with FuturePlus to clearly define its sustainability ambitions and turn them into positive actions that can be easily understood and shared with organisations across the UAE and beyond.

Mike Penrose, CoFounder of FuturePlus, said, “Helping One Moto in their mission to change the way people travel and goods are delivered is an amazing challenge for all of us at FuturePlus. Having spent years in cities where mopeds are the main form of transport, I have no doubt that the transport revolution One Moto is championing will have an enormous impact on reducing emissions and improving the health of millions. We are thrilled to be working with Adam, and his team at OneMoto as FuturePlus is the perfect tool for them to define, measure, manage and share their sustainability goals and achievements. ”

One Moto is fully supported by FuturePlus in mapping out its sustainability strategy and will measure and manage its ambitious goals across five sustainability themes: Environment, Climate, Social and Economic Impact and Diversity and Inclusion.

Adam Ridgway wants to share ONE MOTO’s progress against each of these themes with his investors, customers and supporters, and showcase how FuturePlus can empower every organisation, no matter how large or small, with an accessible, achievable, and affordable entry to understanding and communicating their sustainability goals.

Ridgway believes “an honest and transparent demonstration of what just one business can achieve is key to encouraging other organisations to play their part in securing a more sustainable future“.

For ONE MOTO, sustainability is an ongoing process that brings adaptability and resilience and improves profitability. Actively committed to ensuring their business ventures create positive social and environmental impact, the company is now inviting all organisations to join them on the FuturePlus platform.

A spokesperson for ONE MOTO wanted to share their progress so far, “Sustainability is a mindset and a journey, they all take one step and here’s ours honouring ONE PLEDGE:

Ridgway said, “Being invited to become a FuturePlus Champion in the Middle East is an incredible honour. I’ve been a sustainabilist for several years and trying to navigate ways of improving my impact on the environment, and people was a lonely journey. Over the years, I set a personal mandate “to bring change” in every aspect of my life, and I’ve been pioneering sustainable mobility with ONE MOTO, a brand built of five values and several audacious goals. Before taking the leap away from my ‘past life’ in the media, I asked myself a question, “do I want to be doing this for the next decade?” And as I was becoming a father for the first time, I decided I wanted to commit to my mandate and make a difference.

Championing sustainability through mobility

Ensuring our customers have accessibility to transport is a major factor in our growth map. We have several ESG and CSR initiatives scheduled to ensure we can commit to this in ‘income-weak’ territories. As part of our journey and one of our values of affordability, EVs are traditionally known for having a high-ticket price (justified by the tech investment required). Yet, we’ve foregone this to ensure our vehicles, brand, values, and the problems we address are affordable, aspirational, and achievable.

As of today, 90% of our business focus is driven to the commercial EV market with delivery motorcycles and vans, and the environmental impact petrol motorcycles have on the environment is staggering and overlooked by many. We actively share wisdom and encourage customers to make a choice, and it’s theirs to define if it’s the right one.”

About ONE MOTO

Multi-award winning EV manufacturer, producing the highest performing transport for the delivery and last-mile industry. ONE MOTO was born from a need to bring change, identifying three critical issues; Environment, Profitability of the industry and the safety and welfare of riders/drivers. As our vehicles are data-driven, they are considered a “smartphone on wheels”. ONE MOTO, a brand built on five core values; Sustainability, Experience, Affordability, Convenience and Technology.

Across the world, people are making more sustainable choices. The 2022 Edelman Trust Barometer found that 75% of us globally are concerned or fearful about climate change. Google searches for ‘climate anxiety’ have reached an all-time high this year – and we’ve seen searches for sustainable goods increase by nearly 5 times in 5 years.

Every day, people turn to search engines for information on climate change and ways they can take action. Vehicles on the road account for nearly three-quarters of transportation CO2 emissions, and are one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gases worldwide. To help address that, Google are giving people more choices on the routes they take when they have to drive and the impact on the environment.

ONE MOTO Technologies developed a range of vehicles to help your mobility choices become more sustainable from electric motorcycles, electric vans, electric bicycles and scooters. Available in five countries, the UK Headquartered operation has presence in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and are the first EV start up in the region specialising in last-mile delivery vehicles.

FUEL-EFFICIENT ROUTING, FOR TRAVELING SUSTAINABLY

We recently posted an article regarding how telemetry will transform the food delivery industry: allowing complete fleet and rider management through ONE App. Optimising routes for EVs in delivery has seen an increase of 200% in productivity and 74% cost-savings, reduced working pressure and zero accidents – empowering fleet operators to make more sustainable choices on the road, and to save money while doing so.

In the UAE, there are currently 63,000 registered delivery motorcycles producing over 168,000 tonnes of CO2e each year, it’s killing 198,000 acres of forest each year too. With a relatively small country, the switch to EVs in delivery/gigeconomy would dramatically contribute towards the country’s green agenda.

The vision of ONE MOTO supersedes the customer facing presence. With a recent announcement of launching the first Smart Mobility and Innovation Centre in Dubai alongside the renowned university Rochester Institute of Technology

This agreement sees the two entities uniting to develop three new vehicles and battery swapping solutions, with a goal to export the technology globally. The mobile battery banks use AI and big data to ensure batteries are available whenever the riders need them with the pilot city being Dubai.

The climate crisis affects us all, and it can’t be solved overnight. We recognise the unique responsibility and opportunity that we all share to help in the fight against climate change – not just by cleaning up our own emissions (we positively impact 15 of the UN’s 17 SDGs), but by helping others to do the same.

The new fuel-efficient routing feature allows you to optimise your routes for efficiency – empowering you to make more sustainable choices on the road, and to save money while doing so.

As part of our journey and one of our values of affordability, EVs are traditionally known for having a high-ticket price (justified by the tech investment required). Yet, we’ve foregone this to ensure our vehicles, brand, values, and the problems we address are affordable, aspirational, and achievable.

As of today, 90% of our business focus is driven to the commercial EV market with delivery motorcycles and vans, and the environmental impact petrol motorcycles have on the environment is staggering and overlooked by many. We actively share wisdom and encourage customers to make a choice, and it’s theirs to define if it’s the right one.”
