Volcon is expanding its global distribution network into New Zealand via a deal with Powersports Import and Distribution Limited (trading as Indi Imports). Indi Imports joins a family of established powersports and automotive businesses in Queenstown Lakes District, Wānaka, New Zealand.
“This collaboration with Indi Imports overseen by the reputable Tom Wood Group, is another step forward in Volcon's global journey," says Cristian Liani, International Sales Manager for Volcon ePowersports. "The environmentally conscious and agricultural communities in New Zealand present a ripe market for our electric vehicles. Following our successful expansion in Latin American territories, stepping into New Zealand is a thrilling venture and paves the way for more international alliances.”
Tom Wood Group has a history of successful expansion in the US automobile and powersports landscape, has nine powersports locations with seven in the United States and two in New Zealand. Jeff Wood privately owns the New Zealand businesses, as well as the Tom Wood Group, which is based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tom Wood Group management helped facilitate the agreement between Volcon and Indi Imports, marking a significant milestone in Volcon's international market efforts and reach.
“We are looking forward to the opportunity of being long-term collaborators within the Volcon brand global roll out while gaining a genuine, first-mover advantage across outdoor EV vehicles for off-road adventures in both business and pleasure," adds Daniel Irwin, General Manager for Indi Imports. "Our initial seeding order encompassing the Volcon Stag UTV and two-wheel vehicles, the Grunt EVO off-road motorcycle, and the Brat e-bike will enable us to bring a global leading product to the market while allowing us to diversify our commercial model from a retail sales, parts, accessories and service business to national importing and distribution of alternative and independent ePowersport options.”
The announcement is a continuation of Volcon’s strategic global expansion, following a distribution agreement in Brazil worth up to $12 million dollars that propelled Volcon’s presence into eight countries in South America. The venture into New Zealand not only diversifies Volcon’s global market penetration but also signifies a step towards fulfilling its mission of revolutionizing off-road mobility with eco-sustainable solutions.
