UFODrive, a leading all-electric vehicle rental company, has launched its EV-native fleet management platform to assist fleets in transitioning to electric vehicles. The platform, called UFOFleet, enables fleets to efficiently manage various aspects, including driver profiles, vehicle access, energy distribution and monitoring, maintenance and cleaning, safety, contracts, insurance, reporting, and more. UFODrive partners, such as Hertz, Amazon, and Uber, have already tested and utilized UFOFleet, affirming its effectiveness in large-scale EV operations.
With the aim of facilitating the shift from traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) technology to electric, UFOFleet consolidates multiple management functions into a user-friendly solution. Edmund Read, Chief Commercial Officer of UFODrive, acknowledges the challenges posed by transitioning to EVs due to the lack of preparedness among companies supporting fleets. However, UFOFleet addresses these obstacles by leveraging UFODrive’s expertise gained through 30 million miles of EV experiences and collaborations with early adopters.
UFODrive has been actively working on fleet electrification for five years across Europe and the United States. They have implemented UFOFleet technology in their own rental business and partnered with renowned fleet-based companies in sectors like rental, ridesharing, and delivery. By utilizing UFOFleet, fleets not only find the transition to electric vehicles easier but also experience increased efficiency, profitability, and driver satisfaction.
The adoption of UFOFleet offers several advantages to fleets. Aidan McClean, Co-founder and CEO of UFODrive, states that the company has achieved dual the profit margins and the highest driver ratings compared to traditional ICE car rental services. This exceptional performance is observed in rideshare, last-mile, and commercial fleets as well. According to McClean, transitioning to an electric fleet is akin to upgrading from a basic feature phone to an iPhone, resulting in significant performance improvements. By consolidating various management functions, UFOFleet optimizes fleet operations, leading to cost savings, higher utilization, enhanced driver experiences, and a substantial reduction in emissions.
The UFODrive team is committed to supporting both innovative and cautious fleets in their journey towards fleet electrification. Whether fleets are planning to fully transition to electric vehicles in the near future or over the next few years, UFOFleet provides a powerful and flexible platform to facilitate the transition and align with evolving industry standards and regulations.
