Zimbl’s #communitythroughmobility™ ecosystem model provides a holistic one-stop-shop for residential and commercial developers, local authorities, large organisations and hospitality groups. Our sustainable products, technologies and services span Power, Mobility & Community.
Community through mobility
The team at ZIMBL are pioneering a totally new approach to community, by putting mobility at the heart of it.
From humble beginnings in our pilot town of Banbury, where we have proven that a fully-delivered hourly EV hire service can replace car ownership through our work with Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford University, the company is expanding into numerous other cities in the UK.
The company is also in planning stages with several major national developers to provide their ‘Z-Hub’ ecosystems within several large residential projects to include a Z-Café, Z-Work (Co-Working) and a Brompton Bike Hub in partnership alongside their full multi-modal EV hire model.
We work agnostically with a variety of innovative manufacturers & IDNO partners to curate, supply, install and maintain the very best in sustainable on & off-grid power generation. From solar & battery storage solutions to EV charging for individual homes & public areas to full V2X integration.
Zimbl was the first company in the UK and possibly the world, to provide hourly EV-only car hire delivered to the door. We do not charge membership fees or deposits and are already shamelessly replacing people’s second car and laying groundwork for an autonomous future.
Our Z-Hubs are designed to provide a European sense of town square community and secure family environments for work and social engagement. Our Z-Café and Z-Work sites offer a high quality ‘Farm Shop’ type experience and our enterprise version can include high street brands.
ZIMBL will work alongside all stakeholders during the planning stages. Our new holistic ecosystems are not only proven to reduce car ownership, consumer debt and carbon emissions, but by putting mobility at the heart of every community, we improve the odds of approval.
Whether we are providing an entire ecosystem to include a Z-Café and Z-Work co-working spaces and/or sitewide Z-Charge EV charging infrastructure and MaaS transport options, Zimbl can offer a broad range of CapEx funded or collaborative options to suit all circumstances.
For the first time in most developer projects we’re involved with, our partners are building homes or commercial premises that will be staffed, protected and cared about for generations to come. Now they’re able to walk away with their legacy not only protected, but enhanced.
There are 1.5 Billion cars in the world and statistically they’re only used for 5% of the time. We don’t believe you solve the problem just by replacing internal combustion engine cars with EVs; we provide community-based alternatives to ownership at a fraction of the price.
We recognise many families will still want to own one car but instead of financing and maintaining that second car, Zimbl is already helping thousands of families pocket the extra cash to invest back into their homes or perhaps a holiday. In most cases we provide them a better vehicle than they could otherwise afford as well.
Our partnership with Brompton Bikes is bringing families together with healthier lifestyles and our growing Z-Café and Z-Work concepts, draw on Mediterranean style, food and family-based culture/ work-life balance blended with our own British generosity of spirit and inclusion.
Whilst we’re an infrastructure and property company on the one hand and a community café & co-working hub business on the other; our technology sits under our entire ecosystem and integrates with our mobility & payment partners, local authorities & users.
Our tech team is based in California and we’re not just developing cutting edge fleet management and charging software, but also building a wealth of community-based functionality like the ability to pay for a coffee, dinner or co-working space and facilities all in our Zimbl App.
We are also consummately aware that our future is going to be autonomous and are preparing to be at the forefront of those changes in the way we live in communities. And ensuring it is seamless and beneficial for our residents.
