SAN DIEGO, March 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable infrastructure solutions for the electrification of transportation and energy security, announced that the Company has been named as a supplier on the UK’s CCS Spark Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). CCS is the main purchasing vehicle for UK government entities and supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services.

Beam Global has been awarded a place on the Spark Technology Innovation Marketplace DPS agreement RM6094 for the supply of sustainable electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and energy security solutions. Beam Global’s solar-powered EV ARC™ EV charging infrastructure products are off-grid, generate and store their own clean electricity, and are deployed with no electrical work, no construction and no utility bill, reducing the government’s costs through avoided construction, electrical upgrades, operational disruptions and ongoing utility bills. The systems can continue to charge EVs during blackouts and can include the optional Emergency Power Panel that can provide vital electricity to first responders during disasters, emergencies and power outages.

“This marks significant progress in our efforts to grow our European business just a few months after expanding into that market with our acquisition of Amiga and the creation of Beam Europe,” said CEO of Beam Global Desmond Wheatley. “The European automotive market is larger than China or the U.S. and Europe’s commitment to sustainability, electrification and renewable energy is active both at the government and commercial levels. Having a purchasing contract in place with the UK government, which is similar to the GSA schedule we have with the U.S. federal government, is an excellent first step towards unlocking the fantastic potential I believe exists for Beam Global in Europe. I am thrilled at the prospect of expanding our business into markets which I believe will be larger for us than the U.S. where we are currently experiencing such dramatic organic growth.”

HM Government of the United Kingdom has committed that government owned cars and vans be zero emissions by 2027 and that 80% of all new cars sold in the UK in 2030 are zero emissions moving to 100% by 2035. According to Whichcar.com, Europe has approximately 405 million cars compared to approximately 290 million in the U.S. and 319 million in China based on CEIC data. In June of 2022, the European Parliament backed the European Commission’s proposal of zero emissions from new cars and vans by 2035. The EU has committed to reaching net-zero emissions from energy infrastructure by 2050.
