MILAN (ITALPRESS) – Pirelli, among the world’s leading tire manufacturers, and UM Technologies BV (“UMT”), an innovative company in the sustainable mobility sector and owner of the Unicorn Mobility commercial brand, are joining forces to inaugurate a new phase of Cycl-e Around, the Corporate eBike Sharing project launched by Pirelli in 2021. This collaboration will give rise to a service, offered by UMT, that is even broader both geographically and in terms of offerings (which will include connected vehicles from e-bikes to microcars) to meet the needs of businesses, hospitality facilities, residential complexes and student residences and to respond to the growing demand for solutions related to green mobility. Pirelli will provide UMT with the strength of its brand and knowledge of the more than 160 markets where it currently operates globally, while UMT, having acquired the activities of Cycl-e Around, will leverage its expertise in the field of new mobility and its network of international partners to offer an even more efficient and widespread service. “This collaboration represents a further step toward alternative forms of mobility to traditional means. Thanks to the synergy between the strength of our brand, known all over the world, and UMT’s specialization in light electric mobility, users will have at their disposal an advanced and accessible service, promoting at the same time environmental awareness and active living.” – said Giovanni Tronchetti Provera, Executive Vice President Sustainability, New Mobility and Motorsport Pirelli. Co-founders of UM Technologies BV added, “This collaboration allows us to further expand our presence in the business market, building on our success in the Hospitality world, and to strengthen our commitment to the decarbonization of businesses and private communities. Our goal is to make sustainable mobility the norm in micro communities by offering cutting-edge solutions that combine technology, efficiency and sustainability.”
