- e-scooter producer Torrot Electric and BaaS provider Swobbee enter into cooperation
- battery sharing points can make e-scooter sharing more efficient
- 3rd battery in the Swobbee system
Swobbee has developed Europe's first manufacturer-open battery replacement system for electric light vehicles such as e-scooters and e-bikes, which has recently been put into series production following successful pilot projects. The agreement with Torrot provides for Swobbee to set up and operate sharing points at European Torrot-Sharing sites. As part of the cooperation, the two partners also want to test and evaluate new rental offers for batteries.
"We believe that decentralised battery charging stations will play an important role in sharing business models in the future and would like to offer this solution as the industry's innovation leader to our existing and future customers," explains Vahe Pekmez, Managing Director of Torrot Deutschland GmbH and person in charge for business development Torrot Electric.
Tobias Breyer, CMO of Swobbee parent company GreenPack, sees in the battery exchange a win-win situation for all parties involved: "We are delighted to be working with Torrot to pave the way for a future of e-scooter sharing that is both environmentally and economically sustainable. At the same time, with the Torrot battery, the range of applications of Swobbee stations is growing, which simplifies the operation of more and more fleets. We are confident that Swobbee will be the micro mobility filling station in the future." Currently, the Swobbee system is already being prepared for additional batteries, adds Breyer.
