Spijkstaal Selects KwikFit as Service Partner for Light Electric Vehicles

Posted on: September 25, 2023

KwikFit is entering into a strategic partnership with Spijkstaal, the Dutch pioneer in electric vehicles. This collaboration aims to provide owners of Spijkstaal's Light Electric Vehicles (LEV) with high-quality and efficient EV service. Spijkstaal customers can access professional and efficient service at over 100 EV-certified KwikFit branches.

For over 80 years, Spijkstaal International has been renowned for its innovative electric vehicles for both national and international transport of goods and passengers. With a strong focus on sustainability and quality, Spijkstaal has developed a portfolio that aligns with the growing demand for environmentally friendly mobility solutions. For instance, Spijkstaal supplies LEVs to companies such as DHL and Jumbo, who deploy these vehicles for parcel and delivery services. Additionally, Spijkstaal leases LEVs to various major construction companies and recently delivered 140 LEVs to the Ministry of Defence, distributed across 34 locations in the Netherlands.

The strategic collaboration between KwikFit and Spijkstaal seamlessly aligns with the development of zero-emission zones and sustainable urban logistics. Leveraging Spijkstaal's expertise in electric vehicles and KwikFit's EV service network, owners of Spijkstaal LEV vehicles are supported in actively contributing to green urban transport.

Sustainable Quality Service

The two companies share a harmonized vision for sustainable mobility and quality service. KwikFit, with its network of branches and expertise in maintenance and repairs, will serve as an authorized service partner for Spijkstaal's LEV vehicles. The combined expertise of KwikFit and Spijkstaal ensures that customers can rely on high-quality service, efficient maintenance, and prompt solutions for any issues. With authorized EV certifications at selected locations, customers are assured of safety, quality, and reliability for their Spijkstaal LEV vehicles.

“We are pleased to join forces with Spijkstaal and add a new dimension to our growing involvement in the e-mobility market,” stated Pieter Bikker, E-mobility Director at KwikFit. “Spijkstaal’s LEV vehicles are not only technologically advanced but also contribute to sustainable urban logistics. We look forward to providing owners of Spijkstaal vehicles with the top-quality service they deserve.”

“The collaboration with KwikFit marks a significant step in our pursuit of sustainable mobility,” stated Geoffrey Jacobs, Managing Director at Spijkstaal. “With KwikFit’s high-quality service for our light electric vehicles, we can further support our customers in the transition to emission-free mobility and the promotion of green urban logistics.”

E-mobility

KwikFit is embracing the energy transition, in which the company envisions a significant role for itself. To realize this, KwikFit opened its first e-service branch and several e-bike service points last year. At these locations, KwikFit services all types of electric vehicles, whether cars, bicycles, or other electrically powered vehicles. To accelerate this transition, the garage chain has entered into various collaborations with suppliers of e-transport solutions, such as NIO and Rad Power Bikes.
