Lusby joins Zapp after eight years at McLaren Automotive Ltd, where he held various senior positions including, most recently, Regional Aftersales Manager United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>Lusby\u2019s focus will be to implement Zapp\u2019s innovative drop-ship-direct-to-customer (DSDTC) sales model which kicks off with Zapp\u2019s debut vehicle, the i300 electric performance city bike. The DSDTC platform focuses on customer convenience through a \u201cwe come to you\u201d model; once a customer has ordered their i300, the bike will be delivered to an address of their choice by a \u201cZapper\u201d, a franchised and trained technician, in a Zapper van.<\/p>\n<p>A trained \u201cZapper\u201d will introduce the bike to the customer to make vehicle handover as simple, efficient and convenient as possible. A Zapper will also come to the customer\u2019s chosen address \u2013 whether at home, work or elsewhere \u2013 to perform routine servicing on-site, so the bike does not have to leave the customer\u2019s location. For more time-consuming servicing requirements, a Zapper will pick the bike up from the customer, then return it directly after service has been completed. All Zapper vans will carry a full toolkit and spare parts inventory.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Graham Lusby, new Head of Aftersales, Europe, at Zapp, said<\/strong>: \u201cI am incredibly excited to be joining a forward-thinking and innovative company like Zapp. My immediate focus is to roll out the drop-ship-direct-to-customer service, which is part of Zapp\u2019s commitment to make buying, receiving and owning an i300 as fuss-free and enjoyable as possible. The days of booking appointments at dealerships and then being left without a vehicle while the work is carried out are over. This is just one way in which Zapp thinks out of the box, I\u2019m honoured to be part of the team on this exciting journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During his eight years at McLaren Automotive, Graham held a number of senior positions, including Regional Aftersales Manager (Middle East and Latin America), Regional Aftersales Manager (Western Europe) and Regional Aftersales Manager (United Kingdom). Graham was integral to the operational improvement and development of 29 McLaren retailers across multiple regions. Graham joined McLaren as Global Technical Support Specialist in 2014 and supported the global launch of the McLaren P1.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>David McIntyre, Chief Commercial Officer at Zapp, said:<\/strong> \u201cWe are very pleased to welcome someone of Graham\u2019s talent and ability to the Zapp family. Graham shares our values and perspectives and, crucially, understands that in today\u2019s busy world customers expect ease of ownership and convenience, especially from a premium company such as Zapp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Proposed Business Combination<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>On November 22, 2022, Zapp and CIIG Capital Partners II, Inc., a U.S. publicly-listed blank check company (Nasdaq: CIIG) (\u201cCIIG II\u201d), announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement (the \u201cMerger Agreement\u201d). Upon closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the \u201cBusiness Combination\u201d), the combined company, Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (\u201cPubco\u201d), a Cayman Islands exempted company, is expected to list its ordinary shares on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol \u201cZAPP\u201d. The Business Combination is expected to close in the first half of 2023, subject to stockholder approvals and other customary closing conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Zapp<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Zapp Electric Vehicles Limited is a British company \u2013 run by a team of experts from the mobility industry \u2013 on a mission to redefine the electric two-wheeler segment. Zapp created the i300 as an urban electric high-performance two-wheeler capable of traditional motorcycle levels of performance in a step-through format, combining ease of use with exhilaration and fun. The i300 is the first in a suite of high-performance electric two-wheelers expected to come to market from Zapp. Zapp is expected to operate a high-quality direct-to-customer (DTC) experience called DSDTC (drop-ship-direct-to-customer). Customers ordering the i300 online will have their bikes conveniently delivered to their home by \u201cZappers\u201d who provide at-home inspection, service and support throughout the vehicle ownership lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About CIIG Capital Partners II, Inc.<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>CIIG Capital Partners II, Inc. is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
