ev Transportation Services (“evTS”) is a designer, developer and manufacturer of all-electric lightweight commercial vehicles and fleet management solutions.

Founded in 2015 in Brookline, Massachusetts, and currently based in Boston, the company is focused on the essential transportation services market. End-user applications for evTS vehicles include services such as security, parking enforcement, local small package delivery, meter reading, sanitation, parks and recreation, university and corporate campuses, and warehouse operations.

The FireFly ESV(R)

The company’s flagship product is the FireFly ESV(R), a high-performance, low-maintenance electric vehicle with zero emissions. This utility vehicle was created specifically to meet the needs of essential services users. The FireFly ESV utilizes the safest Lithium Ion battery technology available (LiFePO4, Lithium Iron Phosphate) for superior acceleration, improved energy efficiency and enhanced reliability. As a result, it boasts a range of 100+ miles on a single charge, further than any other electric vehicle in its class.

Additionally, its design can be modified according to the requirements of virtually any task and application, from parking enforcement and security to property and grounds maintenance, last mile urban delivery, on-campus tasks and more.

Parking Enforcement

The ideal parking specific vehicle (“PSV”), FireFly can be equipped with features that enable parking enforcement officers to do their jobs more effectively, significantly reducing operating costs while fully integrating with existing parking enforcement systems, including advanced license plate recognition programs. Key design features of the FireFly ESV that are critical for the successful execution of parking control tasks include:

• High maneuverability with a tight turning radius and slim design, allowing the vehicle to maneuver on narrow streets and park in compact urban environments;
• Electronically governed speeds of up to 50 mph in just seconds, allowing operators to quickly enter and keep up with fast moving traffic;
• Full-height DuraGlide(TM) doors and low steps allowing for rapid ingress and egress on both sides of the vehicle;
• Superior impact protection featuring an integrated safety cage and seatbelts;
• A modular bed design allowing users to include a lockable or sectional bed to make room for boots, parking cones and other equipment; and
• Friendly size and appearance, helping change the public’s perception of parking enforcement efforts.

Security

Specifically designed for flexible and quiet operation at low speeds, the FireFly ESV is an ideal vehicle for security and perimeter patrol tasks in different environments, including cities, office buildings, retail malls, prisons and educational institutions. With a range of 100+ miles, it allows security officers to patrol for the duration of an entire shift before returning to dispatch to recharge, thus generating savings compared to fuel-powered patrol vehicles. Key features that give the FireFly ESV a significant edge over its competition in security applications include:

• Agility and speed, allowing officers to provide rapid response and engage in light pursuit at speeds exceeding 50 mph;
• Comfort and security for the driver with the help of its tubular 2” steel roll cage and three-point safety harness;
• High maneuverability with a 20-plus-degree approach angle and 6” of curb clearance, along with a tight turning radius; and
• Low energy, high intensity lighting features for traffic control while idle for several hours.

Property and Grounds Maintenance

As a durable, customizable vehicle with minimal environmental impact, the FireFly ESV can be used for a wide range of maintenance operations on sidewalks and in recreation areas on a daily basis. Key features include:

• A customizable modular design allowing the vehicle to be built according to use specific maintenance requirements, with features such as a sectional bed, an electronic lift dump, a refuse hauler, a van box, a utility bed with locking compartments and ladder racks, and other cleaning, sweeping or watering accessories;
• A strong tubular steel frame and robust suspension design including the company’s proprietary DuraSteer(TM) front end featuring best-in-class anti-dive control and 1,100 pounds of payload capacity; and
• A light, three-wheel design offering a tight turning radius and a small footprint, allowing FireFly to maneuver in landscaped areas, navigate around pylons and bollards, and operate in narrow corridors, indoors or out.

Last Mile Urban Delivery

Designed for short-range trips with stop-and-go driving, the 100% Electric FireFly ESV is ideal for delivery services in crowded urban environments, being able to accommodate anything from small packages and food delivery to spare parts, medical deliveries and more. Key features that make the vehicle a top choice for delivery services include:

• More cargo space and hauling power than its competitors, due to its modular bed design and 1,100-pound payload capacity;
• Speed and efficiency, as a fully licensable and street legal vehicle that can reach governed speeds of up to 50 mph;
• Durability and maneuverability, making it a valuable addition to any delivery service’s vehicle fleet; and
• Exceptionally low cost of operation, as a virtually maintenance-free vehicle with long-lasting battery power.

The Firefly ESV 2021 Model

On September 15, 2020, the company announced the new 2021 model of its Firefly ESV vehicle. This model will retain all of its predecessor’s original components, with added features for the new 2021 line. The upgrades and new features include, but are not limited to:

• Larger door for easier vehicle access;
• More legroom within the cab;
• Improved visibility through the redesigned windshield;
• New rear bed accessory attachment options to better accommodate specific service industries; and
• An optional trailer hitch with electronic braking control.

Each vehicle will also be equipped with the evTS Connected Vehicle System, which includes in-vehicle Wi-Fi, an internet-accessible vehicle management system, the ability to perform remote diagnostics, low battery alerts and optional 360-degree video monitoring that runs in real-time.

In a news release, David Solomont, CEO of evTS, stated, “The 2021 FireFly is our best and most advanced model yet and will enable evTS to fill the critical and rapidly expanding need for essential service vehicles, particularly for last-mile on-demand urban delivery vehicles.”

Deal with ADOMANI

In April 2020, ADOMANI Inc. (OTCQB: ADOM) signed a letter of intent to purchase 120 FireFly ESV vehicles from evTS. Under the agreement, ADOMANI, a leading provider of zero-emission purpose-built electric vehicles and drivetrain solutions, serves as a distributor of current and future evTS electric vehicle offerings in the state of California.

In addition, ADOMANI may perform final assembly and testing activities of evTS vehicles, as well as warranty repair services, at its recently-opened assembly factory in Corona, California – a location that’s close to urban centers and a variety of terrains where the FireFly ESV can be utilized, according to ADOMANI COO Rick Eckert.

“The agreement with ADOMANI represents a major milestone for evTS, and we are excited to explore a partnership with them,” Solomont added. “Our FireFly ESV all-electric lightweight commercial utility vehicle is a perfect complement to their existing lineup of EVs, and we expect to significantly expand our sales in California and surrounding states based on the quality and reach of ADOMANI’s sales, service and support organization.”
