Revolutionising Urban Logistics: The Flexis Vision

Auto Futurecast, hosted by Chris Kirby, is back with the second episode in the new series. In association with Tomorrow’s Journey, Chris welcomes Matt Hawkins from Flexis.  The pair take a look at the innovative journey of Flexis, a groundbreaking electric vehicle OEM co-founded by Renault, Volvo and CMA CGM. They discuss how Flexis differs from traditional OEMs by creating EVs from the ground up, optimising range, payload, and usability for urban logistics.  They dive into Flexis’ mission to transform last-mile delivery with purpose built electric LCVs, smart fleet management, and software-defined vehicle technology. Key insights include the challenges of urban logistics, vehicle design for electrification, the power of software-defined platforms, and how Flexis is gearing up for a 2026 launch with a focus on uptime, customisation, and customer-driven innovation.   This episode enthralled Chris especially when delving into LCV technology;  the pair joked that the delivery times on his street could end up increasing as he quizzes drivers about their experience – fair warning to delivery drivers in LCVs!
