About Vammo
Vammo is building an accessible, resilient, and scalable clean energy network for emerging megacities, starting in Latin America. By combining electric motorcycle subscriptions with a rapidly expanding battery swap infrastructure, we make clean transportation affordable and reliable for the millions who keep cities moving.
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in São Paulo, Vammo has raised $100 M from top-tier investors across the globe. Our founders and team represent an incredibly diverse and international group that is built of former executives coming from Tesla, Uber, Rappi, i Food, Loggi, Niu, Jump and others. We are all deeply motivated by the mission to decarbonize Latin America while simultaneously reducing costs for one of the region’s most vulnerable populations.
The next wave of mobility innovation will come not from San Francisco, but from São Paulo. Our operations will soon expand from Sao Paulo to cities across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, proving that real climate impact and transformative business models can be built first where the need is greatest.
