Kaptyn operates a rideshare fleet of Tesla Model Ys in Los Angeles. Since November 2022, the company has been using a fleet-as-a-service solution provided by Zeem Solutions. Kaptyn’s vehicles reside at Zeem’s depot near LAX, and Zeem acts as an extension of Kaptyn’s fleet operations team by managing on-site charging, parking, security, scheduled maintenance and cleaning.
With its fully operational and well-staffed EV depot, Zeem Solutions acts as an extension of Kaptyn’s fleet operations team by managing on-site charging, parking, security, scheduled maintenance and cleaning for every Model Y domiciled at Zeem Solutions’ depot, located within a mile of LAX airport.
We give (fleets) a way to incrementally get into EVs and learn as they go without a huge capital outlay,” said Bruce Shalett, Zeem Solution’s president and co-founder, back in Zeem’s LAX office two blocks from the future charging site. “It's literally everything you would need if it was at your own site. We just do it remotely for you.
Commercial fleets are under pressure by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to transition to zero emissions. So enter Zeem Solutions. Their LA-based depot is a one-stop shop for everything EV. Zeem provides a monthly flat fee for leasing, servicing, parking, charging, and energy storage using zero emission commercial vehicles.
Under this innovative operational model developed by Zeem Solutions, Kuehne+Nagel fleet drivers arrive at Zeem’s Los Angeles EV depot, park their personal cars, and drive away with a fully charged medium- or heavy-duty electric vehicle to run their routes, taking advantage of driver amenities, regular maintenance, and secure overnight vehicle parking, which are all included in a flat monthly fee.
The CaaS model has become more and more popular, with several companies entering the fray — Alphastruxure, Zeem Solutions, ChargePoint, and EV Connect to name a few. These providers could help more and more fleets make the switch to zero-emission vehicles, speeding up a national movement towards EVs.
Zeem Solutions, a zero-emission “fleet-as-a-service” provider, announced a partnership with global logistics firm Kuehne+Nagel to deploy electric box trucks for air cargo freight forwarding.

Air cargo freight forwarding fleet Kuehne+Nagel is finding early success using Zeem Solutions’ zero-emission electric vehicle fleet-as-a-service in Southern California. The international logistics company is operating Zeem electric box trucks as part of its sustainable airport corridor initiative, which uses commercial battery-electric vehicles and charging solutions for shippers interested in zero-emission pickup and delivery at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
