E-LCV are operating in the industry of transport (goods, people, services), supporting the fight against urban traffic and climate change. Furthermore, FSE products will support the EU fight against climate change, helping to reduce the emissions of the driving companies/institutions in urban and sub-urban areas. Thanks to FSE CO2-free electric Light Commercial Vehicles green transport and logistics for citizens will be guaranteed without any limitations. WHO ARE OUR TARGET CUSTOMERS AND GROUPS? FSE is focusing on the B2B market of mainly professional drivers/companies which use their vehicles for running their businesses to transport goods, people and execute services with the vehicles, mainly in urban areas. Typical customers are all kind of craftsmen, utility companies (electricity, gas, water etc.), public services and all kind of people transport (kindergarden, elder people, disabled people etc.) WHY ARE YOU AS A TEAM BEST SUITED TO WORK TOGETHER TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM? We are a diverse team of highly experienced professionals full of passion and willing to act with unique experience in management and cooperation with the leaders of the automotive, industry and trade market.
