His passion for sustainable mobility has led him to enter into a pact with eSkootr Championship. The category’s goal of giving a new look and appreciation to electric scooters combines with Murphy Prototypes’ goals to work closely together toward expanding micro-mobility globally.
“We have been keeping an eye on the emerging micromobility sector as we expand Murphy Prototypes’ alternative fuels capability. For us, eSC represents the perfect intersection of our sporting pedigree and advanced technological ambitions,” said Greg Murphy.
Greg expects to make a positive impact on motorsports through rising stars, which in turn will impact important mobility sectors such as transportation and alternative energy.
On the other hand, eSC is thrilled with Murphy’s foray into the debut season of the 100% electric scooter category. “We have been talking to Greg and his team about developments in electrified vehicles and have been impressed with the work they are doing in Ireland, along with the vision they have for the future of micro-mobility transport. We are pleased to welcome another like-minded organization to the inaugural campaign,” said Khalil Beschir, Co-founder and COO of eSkootr Championship.
