Bolt Expands German Fleet with Toyota Hybrids, Including New Yaris Cross
Bolt, the car-sharing company, is expanding its fleet in Germany with Toyota's hybrid vehicles, including the new Yaris Cross. This move aims to provide efficient and sustainable mobility while facing regulatory challenges in some cities.
Toyota's hybrid vehicles are known for their durability and ease of maintenance, benefiting both the environment and operational budgets. Bolt is integrating these cars into its fleet to offer efficient and sustainable mobility, particularly in the context of taxi-like car-sharing.
The new Yaris Cross, a compact SUV, is joining Bolt's portfolio to cater to customers requiring more space. It comes standard with features like a knee pack, heated seats and steering wheel, and Apple CarPlay. Additionally, a wireless charging device is included to keep smartphones ready for use, serving as digital keys in car-sharing.
Toyota's widespread service network ensures faster maintenance and repairs, allowing vehicles to return to service quickly and increasing fleet utilization. Toyota indicates an average of 35% lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions for its hybrid cars.
Bolt's expansion in Germany is significant, with Berlin and Munich raising allegations against the company for false licensing requirements for rental cars and price dumping. Despite these controversies, Germany is the first market where a large number of Toyota hybrids are being integrated into Bolt's fleet simultaneously, with other countries expected to follow.
Toyota and Bolt are collaborating to bring sustainable mobility to German cities, with the new Yaris Cross leading the way. Despite regulatory challenges, the partnership aims to reduce emissions and fuel consumption, offering customers modern features and efficient cars.
