DOCKR strengthens position on the Dutch market with new vehicles in addition to cargo bikes
Kees Jan Blankestijn: “At DOCKR you have a subscription to an electric cargo bike for a fixed amount per month, including insurance, maintenance and on-site roadside assistance. We offer companies – from delivery services to retail chains – a sustainable way to transport in the city center.”
Growing with a wider range of products in the Netherlands, but also abroad
Thanks to the collaboration with Today, the range of electric cargo bikes will be expanded in the short term. “Our customers simply get more options,” says Kees Jan Blankestijn, CEO of DOCKR. “We will continue to do what we are good at: offering reliable and sustainable cargo bikes based on a flexible subscription, only soon under the Today flag. At the moment, 98% of our subscriptions meet the agreed SLAs and customers are very satisfied. We are proud of that, it remains the top priority. The acquisition will allow us to continue to grow under the name TODAY with a wider range. In the Netherlands, but also beyond.”
Today and DOCKR bring sustainable mobility to an international market
Today is an international supplier of e-bikes, e-scooters and e-mopeds focused on micro-mobility. The mobility company offers vehicles through sales and subscriptions. Sean Flood and David Touwsma are the founders of Today. “We love cargo bikes,” says Sean Flood. “They are efficient, sustainable and increasingly important in urban logistics. DOCKR has proven itself as a stable player with high customer satisfaction, which is special in the dynamic market in which we operate. DOCKR has a committed team with a lot of specialist knowledge,” says Flood. “We look forward to integrating that knowledge and experience within Today. In this way, we can accelerate our internationalization together under the Today flag.”
First step in international expansion: the introduction of cargo bike subscriptions in Vienna
A first concrete step is the launch of DOCKR’s cargo bike subscriptions in Vienna, under the flag of Today. “This immediately shows the power of this collaboration,” says Blankestijn. “We combine DOCKR’s expertise with new vehicles and bring this to a new market. We could not have done this at this pace without this collaboration.” The expansion was launched via the ridetoday.at website, which provides companies and consumers in Vienna with easy access to electric cargo bikes in Vienna’s city centre. In the Netherlands, the DOCKR brand name will also be discontinued and the Dutch company will eventually continue under the Today flag.
DOCKR and Today are building the future of urban mobility together
DOCKR and Today are jointly committed to growth, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Together we make cities more beautiful with sustainable alternatives for urban mobility.
