"We are thrilled to begin this
collaboration with Google Maps that offers easy access to our
efficient and sustainable transportation options, expanding on the
current Helbiz integration," said Helbiz CEO Salvatore Palella.
"This will make it easier for Google Maps users to incorporate
shared electric vehicles into their daily commute and plan
multimodal journeys. It also serves as an important milestone in
our mission to ensure smart cities are rooted in green mobility
initiatives and brings Helbiz and Wheels closer together in
offerings."
Through this integration, Wheels’ unique sit-down scooters will
appear on the map with the approximate price, estimated trip
duration and optimized route to the traveler’s desired destination.
After selecting this method of transportation, riders will be
redirected to the Wheels app to start their ride. This feature is
available in all cities that Wheels currently operates in and will
expand into each new market the company enters moving forward.
This collaboration further supports Wheels’ commitment to
providing its accessible, alternative mode of transportation to
local communities. By using Google Maps, users worldwide will be
able to find a nearby vehicle to quickly meet their first and
last-mile needs, while also reducing traffic and pollution.
