February 6, 2020

EUGENE, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$FUV #FUV–Arcimoto, Inc.® (NASDAQ: FUV) — makers of the Fun Utility Vehicle® (FUV®) — an affordable, practical, and thrilling pure electric vehicle for everyday commuters and fleets, announced today an agreement with Road America to provide nationwide 24-hour roadside assistance to FUV owners. Additionally, Arcimoto will have access to Road America’s network of over 170,000 pre-certified repair centers across the United States, including more than 16,000 locations in California alone, for certification and training.

“This collaboration will vastly improve our service capabilities and is a pivotal next step in the expansion of our service network,” commented Arcimoto Director of Product Support, Michael Biron. “In addition to providing world-class roadside assistance, Road America also has an extensive Repair Assist network of pre-certified vehicle repair centers that Arcimoto can leverage to build out our service area coverage. We recently held our very first external repair training class, and are excited to continue expanding our group of qualified repair technicians. Delivery beyond our West Coast states hinges on our ability to service vehicles further afield, and this agreement will jumpstart that growth.”
