The electric car features four exterior compartments — two on each side — to hold separate deliveries. Each compartment can be tailored to a specific use, such as cooking a pizza or refrigerating a package.
With no driver or passengers to worry about, our vehicle has been engineered from the ground up to keep what’s outside even safer than what’s inside. Get anything, anytime, anywhere. With a flexible interior design, our vehicle handles errands of all kinds — from dinner to dry cleaning.
