Bird Global, Inc. (NYSE:BRDS), a leader in environmentally
friendly electric transportation, today announced the renewal of
its operations in select cities across Italy, France and Spain.
These extensions mark a significant milestone for Bird as it
continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainable
transportation and urban mobility in Europe.
In Italy, Bird has renewed and expanded its operation in the
city of Rome, doubling its fleet size to 4,000 scooters. The
company also recently extended its operational permit for 750
scooters in Turin. Across France, Bird renewed its permits in
multiple cities including Agen, Bastia, Blois, Gap, La Roche sur
Yon, and Vichy. In Spain, Bird extended its operations in Málaga
with 1,000 scooters in the market.
“We are excited to renew our operations and continue to serve a
diverse range of communities across Europe," said Renaud Fages,
Chief Mobility Officer, Bird. “By providing sustainable and
convenient transportation solutions, we are able to support
European cities in their efforts to reduce automobile dependence,
ease traffic and reduce carbon emissions. We are actively working
with local community stakeholders to ensure continued smooth
connectivity of our services and where possible, integrate our
newest models of micro-electric vehicles equipped with the latest
safety and sustainability features.”
These renewals come on the heels of Bird doubling its fleet size
in Vienna, Austria, where it increased its operational area by 250%
and population served by 120%. Following a rigorous review process
by the City of Vienna, Bird was selected on the basis of its
mobility concept, which places a special focus on safety,
sustainability and technical innovation.
