Vancouver – October 26th, 2016 – LOOPShare Ltd. (TSX-V: LUP) (“LOOPShare”), a global provider of electric scooter shared fleet services and technology, and Loop s.a.l., its Zone Operator in Lebanon, today announced that they have commenced trial operations of a fleet of Loop electric scooters, comprising the first fleet of shared electric scooters utilizing LOOPShare technology worldwide.
The trial is based on a total fleet of 55 scooters deployed to determine operational parameters for a full scale rollout of the Loop service in the city of Beirut, Lebanon.
“The Loop scooter has been custom designed for electric scooter fleet sharing deployment”, said Anwar Sukkarie, President and Chief Executive Officer of LOOPShare. “Being our first deployment on a field-trial basis worldwide, LOOPShare will invest the necessary resources and skillset needed to ensure a successful trial and provide for a full rollout to over 165 scooters in due course”.
LOOPShare aims to deploy field trials in other cities worldwide, followed by commercial rollouts planned for 2017.
“Loop s.a.l. has the resources to proceed with the field trial to its full extent,” said, Mira Raham, General Manager of Loop s.a.l. “These are exciting times for us where the interest by potential subscribers was truly astounding despite the fact that we have only run a few scooters in the streets of Beirut for technical testing purposes. The market seems to be positioning the Loop service in a positive manner. I expect, and my team will work, towards meeting our objectives successfully within the field trial term.”
