    THE GRETA EFFECT  129  0 Kommentare NEARLY TWO THIRDS OF BRITS NOW CONSIDER SUSTAINABILITY WHEN CHOOSING HOW TO TRAVEL - Seite 2


    Pledge commitment for all vehicles on our app to be zero-emission capable by
    2025 [1] . We are already the largest electric fleet platform in the UK but want
    to go further faster and make choosing electric vehicles even easier for drivers
    as well as customers.

    "This year alone, we have seen a 135% uplift in passengers opting for EVs, and a
    35% increase in EV drivers on the platform. These figures reflect the growing
    demand for sustainable options within the ride-hailing industry, highlighting
    again that transitioning to zero carbon/low emission vehicles is not just the
    right thing to do but also good business sense."

    Across Europe, FREE NOW electric car rides have increased by 71% since January
    2021, with a 20% increase in active EV drivers on the platform. The app is now
    the mobility platform with the biggest electric vehicle choice in Europe, with
    almost 130,000 new e-scooters, eBikes and electric shared cars on offer to its
    customers.

    To celebrate the rollout of the change to its app, FREE NOW has released a new
    ad, featuring one of the nation's most beloved football presenters, Chris
    "Kammy" Kamara, called "DashKam." In the ad Kammy can be seen racing across
    London using FREE NOW's electric cabs and e-scooters.

    Chris Kamara, former football player and presenter, comments: "I'm delighted to
    be supporting this important initiative. As an electric car owner myself, I know
    just how vital it is that we make the switch to electric vehicles, so it's music
    to my ears that FREE NOW are now offering them to customers as standard."
