Delivering game changing efficiency.
Maximum load volume. Minimum footprint.
Launched in September 2024, ELM Mobility is a collaboration between Prodrive and Astheimer Design to create the first ground-up, fit-for-purpose last mile delivery platform, making a positive difference to cities around the world.
Identifying unmet and growing demand, ELM Mobility’s vision is to be the leader in zero-emission last mile transport, delivering game-changing efficiency with small, lightweight vehicles.

Load Volume
The last mile optimised.
Ground up design, fit for purpose.
The unique platform architecture shrink wraps the driver package to help maximise the available load space.
With a best in class load volume to overall volume of over 60%, including the capacity to carry a 1.6m high EURO pallet, the vehicle is the most efficient in its class in terms of cost and energy per unit volume of goods per mile.
Thanks to being an L7e category platform, it is also around half the weight of a compact van with equivalent load volume.
Disruptive design & engineering.
Compact, capable, safe.
The central driving position not only allows for improved direct visibility and easy access from either side, but also frees up space for the suspension and steering.
The tight 7.8m turning circle, comparable to a London taxi's 7.6m capability, allows for quick manoeuvring in congested city streets.
By positioning the driver behind the front axle, the vehicle can also be engineered to meet N1 (small van) passive safety standards including front, side, and roof crash.
Leadership.
ELM Mobility is a UK based joint venture between Astheimer Design and Prodrive Advanced Technology, co-led by their respective CEOs and backed up by their exceptional design and engineering teams.
