Company

uMotion creates the moste sustainable and affordable commercial vehicles to decarbonise urban logistics.

High payload, Low footprint

Transporting more goods with a smaller footprint is the challenge of urban logistics and purpose of uMotion.

TAILOR MADE FOR DELIVERY PROFESSIONALS

Capable as a diesel van, cheap as a cargo bike and cleaner than an e-van, uMotion has started from scratch to create the first environmentally-friendly van designed entirely for last-mile professionals.

LESS IS MORE

Working with transport companies and their drivers, as well as local authorities and their residents, uMotion is creating  a commercial vehicle that is simply useful: sober, robust, light, modular, tailored to the needs of its customers, safe for drivers and residents, sustainable in its design and over time.

Radical and simple innovation

By radically innovating using mature technologies and adapting to the organisation of logistics providers, uMotion aims to rapidly make green mobility accessible to all professionals.

The founders

uMotion was founded in 2022 by Nicolas Goursot and Léon de Perthuis.
