Møbilize, the new brand dedicated to mobility and energy services
- Mobilize is one of the four new business units created within Groupe #renault.
- Mobilize provides #mobility, #energy, and data-related services to other brands and partners, based on best-in-class open ecosystems.
- Mobilize unveils the #ez1prototype, a purpose-designed vehicle for shared urban mobility.
Mobilize targets customers who wish to adopt more sustainable, shared forms of #mobility. #mobilize addresses new needs and promotes sustainable #energy ecosystems, in line with Groupe Renault’s target of carbon neutrality and its ambition to develop value from the circular economy.
Mobilize, a brand on a mission
Mobilize goes beyond cars. It offers new ways of transporting people and goods, either with or without a car. The new #mobility offers meet the expectations of end customers, companies, cities, and regional authorities.
Mobilize brings together Groupe Renault’s activities in #mobility, #energy, and data-related solutions while leveraging expertise from RCI Bank and Services.
It helps foster partnerships and brand-new open ecosystems that bring significant advantages in timing and scaling-up, while also helping to solve the major challenges faced by the #automotive industry:
- Reduce the gap between car usage and cost as cars are currently left unused 90% of the time.
- Improve residual value to prevent the value of new vehicles from falling by over 50% after 3 years.
- Contribute to a zero CO2 footprint target.
"We are very excited to embrace the disruption of the #automotive world shifting from ownership to usage, whenever and wherever you need it. Beyond #automotive, #mobilize will offer a wide array of innovative services in the #mobility, #energy and data fields. With a variety of partners, our goal is to maximize car usage with simplified, more sustainable and accessible #mobility journeys for people and goods, while reducing the environmental impact," says Clotilde Delbos, CEO, #mobilize Brand.
A unique combination of hardware and software, purpose-designed vehicles and services in open ecosystems
Mobilize offers flexible #mobility services for people and goods, adapted to the evolving expectations of customers, corporates, and municipalities. It addresses real-life issues and provides seamless solutions that are complementary to traditional models of car ownership. By promoting higher usage of goods through circular and sharing economies, #mobilize contributes to a more sustainable future.
Furthermore, with a potential of more than 6,000 #renault dealerships in Europe, #mobilize will be able to offer #mobility solutions for use ranging from one minute to several years, in cities and towns throughout the region.
Mobilize will also further leverage its existing portfolio of innovative #mobility and #energy start-ups to help co-create the best solutions for its customers.
- Purpose-designed vehicles for #mobility services
Mobilize has strong competitive advantages as it enters the #mobility market leveraging Groupe Renault’s expertise in vehicle design and manufacturing, and EV-leadership.
Mobilize benefits from dedicated engineering and design teams and will propose a range of purpose-designed vehicles. Intended for heavy use, modular, robust and 100% electric, they will fulfil the most critical needs of new #mobility: car sharing, ride-hailing, last mile delivery and on-demand transit.
- Easier fleet acquisition through financing services
RCI Bank and Services is a privileged partner with whom #mobilize provides easy access to financial solutions and services, from subscription and leasing to pay-as-you-go. This way, fleet ownership cost can become variable.
- Increased car-usage through #mobility, data and AI software platforms
Mobilize leverages the Renault Software Factory, the Software République and partners to develop leading-edge algorithms and data processing software, allowing better prediction of user-side demand and better vehicle allocation. #mobilize aims to increase the rate of car use by at least 20%.
- Maintenance and recycling services for carsharing fleets
When our vehicles are no longer fit for use, they will be taken care of by our maintenance and recycling services at the #renault Re-Factory. When batteries of electric vehicles are no longer fit for #automotive use, #mobilize will recycle them, giving them a second life as a stationary #energy source.
A commitment to carbon neutrality, circular economy and extended vehicle life cycle
Mobilize builds on Groupe Renault’s strong EV-expertise, notably in battery lifetime value management.
Mobilize is invested in developing an #energy ecosystem that includes smart charging solutions and advanced #energy storage solutions to help drive the #energy transition. It offers a combination of solutions that can be integrated in Smart Islands, districts, or other urban planning projects to help them reach carbon neutrality.
To further enhance electric #mobility, #mobilize offers solutions to facilitate EV uptake. Hence, #mobilize is developing a charging pass for customers to easily locate public charging points and to pay with a single payment solution Europe-wide. For EV and PHEV fleet customers, #mobilize will work through its subsidiary Elexent to offer easy access to charging infrastructure solutions throughout Europe.
Mobilize #ez1prototype: a vehicle designed for shared mobility
EZ-1 Prototype is an emblematic vehicle of the #mobilize brand. It embodies the brand's design vision: service at the heart of vehicle design. #mobilize #ez1prototype is a new urban #mobility solution that is designed for shared use. As such, it will be commercialized in an innovative way: users will only pay for what they use, in terms of drive-time or mileage. The vehicle is connected: it comes with keyless access and interacts with users via their smartphone.
Mobilize #ez1prototype is a compact and agile electric vehicle for 2 people. Its architectural model means the vehicle is only 2.3 metres long and has a minimal footprint. Top-to-bottom glass doors give #ez1prototype users an unhindered view on the surrounding urban landscape. Agile, dynamic and inclusive, it blends into the urban world.
Mobilize #ez1prototype features an innovative battery exchange system. This alternative to the traditional charging infrastructure means the vehicle can be used non-stop.
Mobilize #ez1prototype is built according to circular economy principles. Made with 50% recycled materials, it will be 95% recyclable at the end of its life cycle thanks to the Flins Re-Factory.
"Mobilize #ez1prototype is a #mobility device that will blend in with the city. Agile, dynamic and inclusive, it is emblematic of the new #mobilize brand. It accompanies users in their lifestyle change towards more efficient and responsible #mobility, "says Patrick Lecharpy, #mobilize Design director.
