"The great test of electric vehicles" is a proprietary project of MHC MOBILITY Polska, one of the largest companies on the market of financing, car rental and fleet services in the world. The campaign aims to popularize zero-emission vehicles among business customers. The test began in October and will last six weeks.
- There is a growing awareness that the era of combustion engines is coming to an end. Electromobility is the key word for the transport of the future, and transformation in this direction has become an urgent need. At MHC MOBILITY, we already have ready-made solutions that meet the challenges of sustainable transport and business development of our clients - says Eric Van Vliet, CEO of MHC MOBILITY in Central and Eastern Europe.
At the end of September this year, almost 32,000 electric cars were registered in Poland. This is an increase of 120 percent * compared to the same period last year, but still not much in the country. - The fleet market can be a driving force for the development of electromobility in Poland. At MHC MOBILITY, we strongly believe in this and we are focused on promoting these solutions among business clients. The government program MÓJ ELEKTRYK has already started, thanks to which the prices of renting electric vehicles are already comparable, and sometimes even lower than those with conventional drive. So it is the best time for tests and eco-change in the company - emphasizes Tomasz Piekarski, Commercial Director of the company.
The "Great test of electric vehicles" is an excellent opportunity to check what the operation of this type of vehicle looks like in urban and suburban traffic, as well as in industrial use. MHC MOBILITY customers will receive both passenger cars and vans for tests lasting several days. Thanks to this, they will be able to see the many benefits of driving a zero-emission vehicle.
The campaign will last 6 weeks. During this time, customers from all over Poland will be able to test vehicles of various brands available in the MHC Mobility offer - from the premium segment to economy, vans and trucks. In total, 35 vehicles were made available for testing, including: Tesla, Mercedes, Renault, BMW, KIA, Audi, Toyota, Ford, MAN and many others. **
The summary of the test will be a report containing participants' opinions on the comfort of driving and the use of electric vehicles, their emissivity and cost-effectiveness. - Our strategy is to develop mobile and zero-emission services. We want to provide customers with tailor-made solutions and be their best partner in achieving goals related to the reduction of the carbon footprint. The Great Electric Vehicle Test, organized for the second time, allows us to better look at the needs of our customers and meet their expectations - emphasizes Eric Van Vliet.
The media patronage over the action was taken by Fleet magazine.
