Canoo Inc. (Nasdaq: GOEV), a leading high-tech mobility company, today announced a contract with Los Angeles-based Prime Time Shuttle for the purchase of up to 550 electric vehicles.
Prime Time Shuttle will purchase the Lifestyle Vehicle (LV) Premium model vehicles over multiple years, adding to its fleet of luxury vehicles and airport transportation shuttles that service the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
“As a pioneer and leader in the luxury and airport transportation niche, we have experience serving passengers and providing value to both our clients and the industry,” said Rattan Joea, CEO of Prime Time Shuttle. “We’re practitioners of sustainability and have a separate fleet of sustainable vehicles, so Canoo’s LVs fit nicely into our vision of providing differentiated experiences to our clients.”
