Enjoy, Eni’s car sharing service, is going electric in Bologna, with the introduction of the battery swapping equipped city cars XEV YOYO to its fleet. The news was announced today at Palazzo Gnudi in the presence of Valentina Orioli, Councillor for New Mobility of the Municipality of Bologna, who spoke together with Giuseppe Ricci, Eni Energy Evolution Chief Operating Officer. The meeting was held during the Bologna edition of European Mobility Week, taking place from 16 to 22 September.
As of today, Enjoy customers in Bologna can rent one of 50 brand new XEV YOYOs via the app. The cars are immediately recognisable thanks to the unmistakable lime green colour. The new cars add to the existing fleet of 155 cars and cargo vehicles already available in the city. Thanks to the agreement between Eni and XEV, a car company founded in Turin in 2018, the advantages of urban electric mobility are combined with the convenience of ‘free floating’ car sharing, which allows rentals to begin and end anywhere within Enjoy’s coverage area, without a predefined pick-up or drop-off point. Morover, Enjoy takes care of recharging: in this way, XEV YOYO city cars allow customers to move around freely as they always come with a battery charge of more than 30%.
Enjoy has over 1 million customers in Italy who have completed about 29 million rentals since 2013. With a fleet of 2,500 vehicles, Enjoy is also present in Turin, Florence, Milan and Rome. In Florence, Milan and Rome, the XEV YOYO city cars will be introduced in the coming months.
