Bridgestone partners with Scoobic to provide maintenance and telematics for its electric vehicles

Scoobic Urban Mobility designs and manufactures 100% electric last-mile and urban delivery fleet vehicles and the partnership will support the company’s fleet.

All new Scoobic vehicles will be equipped with factory-installed fleet management technology from Webfleet Solutions, and be fitted with Bridgestone tyres.

Bridgestone’s retail network of service locations specialising in tyres and integrated car maintenance will maintain Scoobic’s electric fleet and replace tyres when necessary.

Jose Maria Gómez, CEO at Scoobic said: “This agreement has many advantages for Scoobic customers. It provides them the opportunity to improve workforce efficiency by up to 30% while also decarbonising their business and reducing their environmental footprint in cities.

“In addition, they will also be able to take advantage of the state-of-the-art, innovative, factory-installed fleet management systems and optimisation tools offered by Webfleet Solutions, as well as a highly experienced and widespread network of car service centres for maintenance.”

Adding, Daniel Giroud, CSO of Bridgestone EMIA said: “The partnership underpins our commitments to provide an end-to-end suite of integrated services to enable safe and sustainable mobility, through supporting the electrification of fleets in the distribution sector and to reduce polluting gas emissions in cities.”
