UBCO · Electric Utility Vehicles · Canadian Market Launch · Jul 2023 – Jun 2025
We built UBCO’s Canadian market from zero.
No homologation. No dealer network. No presence in the category. Two years later: 14 dealers, 280 bikes sold, and two cross-country demo programs running — regulatory clearance to retail floor, all of it built.

No prior baseline to beat — UBCO Canada was launched from nothing. These are the numbers we built.
From Nothing to a National Network
UBCO had no route into Canada — no regulatory pathway, no dealers, no infrastructure. Here is what changed.
No Canadian homologation — UBCO couldn’t legally be sold
CMVSS homologation achieved — UBCO legally sellable across Canada
No dealer network, sales team, or distribution
14 dealers onboarded into a national network
No presence in the Canadian electric-utility category
280 bikes sold across dealer and B2B/fleet channels
No rebate access or conservation-org partnerships
Clean BC rebates + Alberta Fish & Game built into the sales motion
No CRM, lead management, or marketing infrastructure
AI-powered CRM + a custom GPT model — +10% conversion, +5% qualified leads
The V3 Engine, Built for a Launch
UBCO wasn’t a 90-day optimization with a baseline to beat — it was a market stood up from zero. The engine runs the same; the clock runs over two years.

No prior-period traffic, revenue, or conversion baseline existed — UBCO’s Canadian market was launched from zero. Figures reflect what was built: regulatory clearance, distribution, demand systems, and unit sales. Conversion and qualified-lead lifts are measured against the AI/CRM systems deployed mid-engagement.
“V3RSION didn’t just run a marketing program — they built the Canadian business from the ground up: homologation, dealers, sales infrastructure, all of it. We went from nothing to a functioning national network.”
Oliver Hutaff
CEO, UBCO
From zero to a national network in 24 months.
