Powering e-bike and e-scooter hire schemes to keep cities moving is an increasingly important consideration, with more and more local authorities nationwide considering more sustainable means of transportation. That’s why when the UK’s biggest e-scooter and bike share company calls for a partnership for the safe transportation of lithium-ion batteries, ZARGES answers.
Under the Department of Transportation’s Hazardous Materials Regulations, the transporting and storage of lithium batteries is subject to strict safety regulations. ZARGES, Europe’s leading provider of packaging solutions for hazardous goods, provide Beryl with its UN-certified aluminium safety container to guarantee safe storage during transport of the lithium-ion batteries that keep Beryl e-bikes and e-scooters powered, even when defective or damaged.
As the demand for sustainable, more socially distanced travel methods increase across the UK, Beryl’s platforms are at the heart of a more eco-friendly alternative to cars.
Philip Ellis, Beryl CEO and Co-founder, said: “ZARGES is the perfect partner to help us further our exciting roll-out plans nationwide. The reliability and stringently-tested nature of their cases, not to mention the expertise and know-how of the ZARGES team, gives us ultimate confidence that we’re transporting crucial lithium-ion batteries in ultimate safety.”
When discussing the partnership, Neil Harper, ZARGES sales manager, said: “ZARGES is delighted to supply its casing to a business promoting greener transport and innovation, and to support Beryl’s mission in achieving a better world by getting more people in cities moving sustainably.”
“Our years of experience in the field of hazardous goods guarantees the highest security and reliability possible in our optimised safety container for transporting lithium batteries, which was developed in cooperation with the world’s leading manufacturers in the automotive industry.”
ZARGES cases will be used to transport Beryl’s lithium batteries to a range of major cities and regions across the UK, including London, Greater Manchester, Norwich and the West Midlands.
