WINTER GARDEN, Fla. (May. 5, 2026) – ABC Companies today announced a strategic partnership with Waev (Waev Inc.), a manufacturer of low-speed electric vehicles for local fleets whose portfolio includes GEM, Taylor-Dunn, Fusion, and Tiger. ABC’s initial focus will be on the GEM product line.

This partnership is a natural extension of ABC’s role as a full-solution transportation partner. As customer needs continue to evolve, operators are looking for more flexible ways to move passengers across campuses, resorts, and private facilities. The addition of Waev reflects a customer-led decision to support real-world operating needs with the right solution for each environment.

By introducing GEM vehicles into its portfolio, ABC broadens its ability to support the full passenger journey, from long-distance transportation to first mile and last-mile connectivity and on-property mobility. GEM vehicles are well-suited for applications such as resort and hospitality, guest transportation, corporate and industrial campus employee movement, and short-distance circulation.

“Our responsibility is to support customers with the right solution for the environment they are operating in,” said Jay Oakman, chief government affairs and strategy officer of ABC Companies. “That starts with listening. As our customers’ needs evolve, we need to evolve with them. Adding Waev expands our ability to do that. It gives us another option to support a broader range of transportation needs, from motorcoaches and shuttles to more localized mobility. At the end of the day, it is about making sure we can show up with the right solution, no matter the use case.”

Waev, headquartered in Anaheim, California, builds on the legacy of electric vehicle innovation, developing solutions for commercial, industrial, and institutional environments. Today, Waev vehicles are widely used across a range of applications, from localized transportation and on-property mobility to facility and operational support.

The partnership reflects strong alignment between both organizations, with a shared focus on innovation, operational efficiency, and practical solutions that address real-world transportation challenges.

“We are excited to partner with ABC Companies and work alongside a team that has built a trusted distribution and service network across the industry,” said Luke Mulvaney, chief revenue officer and co-founder of Waev. “Their ability to bring solutions to market and support customers over the long
term gives us confidence as we expand the reach of Waev and GEM. We see strong alignment in how our organizations approach innovation and operational efficiency, and together, we are focused on delivering practical solutions that meet the evolving needs of customers across a wide range of environments.”
