Business Wire
Today, Helbiz (NASDAQ: HLBZ), a global leader in micro-mobility,
announced the beginning of a new chapter for its intermodal
mobility offering, Helbiz Taxi. The micro-mobility company aims to
integrate mobility services around the world in its app to widen
the intra and extra urban mobility offerings to include vehicles
from additional companies with the same vision. By giving riders
more transportation alternatives, the project will optimize the
rider experience by making it easier to create a necessary
multimodal mobility ecosystem.

“Our goal has always been to change the
way the world moves. Helbiz Taxi allows us to build on that mission
by providing our users with even more ways to get around their
city, creating at the same time an already established new revenue
source for Helbiz,” said Salvatore Palella, Chief Executive Officer
at Helbiz. “I’m particularly excited for our first integration that
will equip users across our European markets with access to
thousands of taxis available on demand. Special incentives will be
awarded to consumers who decide to make use of electric taxis from
the offering following our path of incentivising sustainable
behaviors globally” (Photo: Business Wire)
Starting out will be the integration of a selection of leading
taxi operators in currently active markets. Helbiz users will be
able to call a taxi on demand, pay, and rate the service all
through one app. This new functionality will help users in a range
of scenarios, whether there’s limited availability of electric
vehicles in their area, inclement weather conditions, or the
distance is too long to travel via e-scooter, as well as disabled
users that cannot ride traditional Helbiz vehicles. Helbiz Taxi
will bring Helbiz to cities around the world which are yet to
accept shared micro-mobility services, positioning the company as
an experienced intra-urban mobility operator with the trust of
already 4.3 million users worldwide.

International studies estimate the Taxi and NCC industries to be
worth around 1.3 billion EUR just in Italy in 2021, of much lower
relative significance than other European countries in which Helbiz
is aiming to expand over the upcoming months.
