Ufodrive receives extra boost from Hertz
In the latest funding round, the Irish e-car rental startup UFODRIVE was able to raise 19 million US dollars. The main investor is the car rental company Hertz along with its partner Certares, which simultaneously announces a strategic partnership with the eMobility startup. At the end of last year, the US rental company had announced the order of 100,000 Tesla Model 3s. Now it is clear how this huge electric car fleet will be operated, with the digital rental and fleet management software solutions of the Irish company, the provider is pleased to announce. Hertz had also started at the time with the promise of offering users worldwide the best charging and rental experience and had extensively tested the UFO technology in a field trial. The US rental company also announced a deal with Uber, in which a part of the Model 3 fleet will be made available to the chauffeur service's drivers.
UFODRIVE sees itself as the first digital and fully electric rental service that is completely accessible via an app. The self-developed SaaS platform aims to simplify the transition to e-mobility for users. It promises hassle-free handling, lower energy costs, better charging experience, route finding, and optimal fleet utilization thanks to AI-based fleet management. The service, which started with a focus on airports, promises a two-minute process between arrival and departure in the parking garage.
Translated automatically from German."Born from the vision to deliver what we call 'Radically Better Car Rental,' this investment is an important affirmation of this dream. We have pioneered and are now the leading operating system for electric fleets, already serving a growing list of renowned mobility companies," explained Aidan McClean, CEO of UFODRIVE. We want to contribute to accelerating the transition to emission-free mobility
