An offer designed to meet the needs of the EV drivers
In order to facilitate drivers’ transition towards EVs, Uber has set up an Electric Mobility Plan which includes a financial contribution and a specialized ecosystem. Uber is now partnering with Free2move to allow drivers to benefit from flexible solutions to acquire or rent EVs from Stellantis many brands that they appreciate so much. Stellantis currently accounts for 25% of vehicles available on Uber in France.
Laureline Serieys, General Manager Uber France, explains “Free2move has developed attractive offers for both rental formulas and vehicles selection. We are delighted to run this partnership, which strengthens our ability to reach our goal of 50% electric vehicles on the app by 2025. With our combined expertise we are making the transition to electric a reality!”
The partnership between Free2move and Uber in France underlines the Stellantis plan to halve its carbon emissions by 2030, with the ultimate goal to reach a net zero carbon footprint with 100% electric vehicles in Europe by 2038.
“Our partnership will facilitate greener fleets, to achieve European objectives and accelerate the transition to all-electric vehicles. We are proud to align with Uber and look forward to supporting their drivers with mobility choices today that position us to meet the goals of tomorrow!” shares Brigitte Courtehoux, CEO Free2move.
“The Citroen e-C4 X is particularly suited towards EV drivers. Produced in Europe, this spacious vehicle features a convenient large trunk as well as a roomy interior, under the elegant silhouette of a fastback with the modern attitude of an SUV. Complete with rapid charging, this is clearly a vehicle that combines comfort and efficiency, both of which will be appreciated on a daily basis,” shares Vincent Cobee, Managing Director of Citroen.
