Minimal, a London-based technology company tackling last-mile emissions, has announced the establishment of its new 10,751 sq.ft headquarters at Prologis Park Royal DC5.

The unit is expected provide space for vehicle production, R&D and customer operations under one roof. The relocation supports plans to ramp up vehicle production and double the team size.  

Founded in 2023, Minimal is building an ecosystem of lightweight electric vehicles, operational software and microhubs.

The company says it enables cities to move more with less and to address the growing congestion, emissions and cost of last-mile logistics. 

Patrick Bion, CEO & Co-Founder of Minimal, said: “Commercial freight creates 25% of London’s emissions, and this continues to rise. The legacy logistics systems that bring millions of vans into our cities every day simply aren’t fit for the changing demands of these areas.

“Minimal exists to address this, to let anyone moving goods in built up places to easily plan and deploy the most efficient logistics for their operations.

“Our new headquarters gives us a platform to grow, launching operations rapidly with customers in London and across the UK.”
