Hello dear supporters,
It's our hope that you have all been staying positive while testing negative, given the reality 2020 unfolded before our eyes. At Greenfoot we have been good and kept our hopes high for each incoming day, and that has been true for most of the times. We have managed to kickstart our pilot on delivery service powered by electric cargo motorbikes and managed to make proof of the service and collect useful data that will help us build a better service and deliver the most value.
As part of operational infrastructure development and effort to make sure our service empower and inspire a greener future we all striving for, we also started working on the implementation of solar powered battery swap and charging station prototype, which will eventually render our service more efficient and affordable for the majority to adopt, but also offering more services such as micro fulfillment and temporary storage of different consumer goods in a temperature-controlled environment, contributing to reducing waste especially from fresh produce and daily products.
Your support has been really helpful to kickstart our project and we are truly grateful for that. And so far we are finalizing the design stage including laying down technicalities on how different parts of the stations are going to work together, especially the energy consumption part of it. Our goal is to achieve a system that takes advantage of the best practices and tools to maximize efficiency while keeping the cost down, and eventually coming up with a final product that can be easily replicated and adopted by other actors in the industry.
After this phase, we are actually going to the most financially demanding phase, the design implementation and we will need more support than ever. We will try to put regular updates on the progress of the project and share more visuals when this starts to materialize, but allow us to share a visualization of our final design and tech layout.
I thank you forever as I sign out on behalf of Greenfoot,
Johnson Jacka
