Media Alert for Melbourne-based Media (strong TV news potential)
Wednesday March 27, National Transport Research Organisation, Melbourne
Melbourne is set to witness a ground-breaking leap in green urban mobility with the launch of microFleet's OneDock, the world's first universal charging station for e-bikes and scooters. This event promises a live demonstration of OneDock, an innovative platform designed to universally track, dock, charge, and share a wide range of electric micromobility vehicles. The launch is a pivotal moment for microFleet, showcasing a solution that aims to reshape urban landscapes by providing seamless integration for e-bikes, e-scooters, and other light electric vehicles. The launch will take place at the National Transport Research Organisation, 80 Turner Street, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, from 10.30 to 11.30 am on March 27. Public and media are invited to witness the unveiling of this game-changing technology.
Why This Matters:
As cities worldwide grapple with congestion and seek sustainable transport solutions, OneDock offers a glimpse into a future where urban mobility is green, efficient, and universally accessible. This initiative not only addresses the critical need for reliable charging infrastructure but also promotes the wider adoption of e-micromobility, contributing significantly to the net-zero emissions goal. The global e-micromobility charging market, estimated to reach $67bn by 2030, underscores the vast potential for such innovations. microFleet's ambition to install smart docking points globally positions it as a major player in this transformative shift.
