ROAM AND GREENSPOON LAUNCH KENYA’S FASTEST DELIVERIES

October 11, 2024
  • Roam and Greenspoon have partnered to offer sustainable deliveries and support local farms.
  • Greenspoon customers get orders in under 99 minutes with Roam Air, down from 3 hours.
  • Greenspoon riders make up to 195 orders daily with Roam Air thanks to its portable charging feature.

 Greenspoon, the top online supermarket, and Roam, Kenya’s leading electric mobility company, are excited to announce their partnership to offer a fully sustainable food delivery service. This collaboration which is part of GreenspoonGo, Greenspoon’s super speedy delivery service that launched in February 2023, is set to redefine the food delivery experience in Kenya by combining the efficiency of the Roam Air electric motorcycle with Greenspoon’s commitment to fresh, local, and sustainable produce.

Greenspoon customers will now enjoy ultra-fast delivery with Roam Air, which promises to deliver orders in under 99 minutes, a significant improvement from the previous delivery time of up to 3 hours, allowing customers to get their pantry essentials and fresh produce faster.

Designed for high efficiency and durability, Roam Air features a waterproof storage tank and a strong frame that will make up to 15 Greenspoon customer orders daily per Roam Air. Its removable dual battery system and portable charger allow Greenspoon riders to charge at any power outlet, including their warehouse, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous operation.

Greenspoon will offer three batteries for each  Roam Air, which is equal to a range of over 225 km when all are fully charged, enabling Greenspoon riders to complete up to 195 orders daily. With the improved delivery time, Greenspoon is aiming to serve more customers as they are currently serving over 3,500 customers who order through the Greenspoon mobile app and website.

With zero emissions and a capacity to carry up to 220 kg, Roam Air is the ideal choice for a sustainable delivery solution, that aligns with Greenspoon’s mission of reducing carbon footprints and supporting local farmers and artisans. GreenspoonGo consolidates orders going to the same route whenever possible to further reduce the carbon footprint.

Elijah Karanja, Greenspoon’s Operations Manager commented, “Roam and Greenspoon is a match made in heaven for going green for the world. Here's to a net zero future.” Dionne Getata, Roam’s Sales Operations Manager commented, “Our partnership represents a shared commitment to creating a healthier, more sustainable planet. By leveraging the latest in electric motorcycle technology, our partnership is helping to reduce carbon emissions and provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional delivery services.”
