A nationwide fast-charging offensive for taxi companies has been launched.

The Federal Association of Taxi and Rental Cars e. V. is expanding its cooperation with the B2Mobility GmbH, which operates under Aral Fleet Solutions, nationwide. As the association states, all members will immediately and indefinitely have access to discounted fast-charging terms through the Aral Pulse network. The aim is to further advance the electrification of taxi and rental-car fleets.

According to the association, the basis for the nationwide expansion is experiences from the 'Zukunftstaxi' initiative in Hamburg. There, the special terms had initially been introduced exclusively for members. Taxi companies could demonstrate in urban use that electric mobility can be operated economically and practically for everyday use, provided that reliable charging infrastructure and competitive prices are available.

Expansion based on positive practical experience

With the now-implemented extension of the terms to all of Germany, the association responds to the growing importance of alternative drivetrains in the commercial sector. At the same time, Aral Pulse's fast-charging network continues to grow. The combination of network expansion and uniform terms should ease the investment decision in favor of electrically powered taxis.

As the new point of contact for members, Mathias Wolf, Senior Account Manager at Aral Fleet Solutions, will serve as the contact. He is, according to the company, accompanying the nationwide rollout of the offers.
