Audi Business Innovation is testing out a ridesharing service in Southern Germany called BITS that uses both gasoline and electric vehicles in its fleet.

To manage the service, Audi has turned to our portfolio company Fleetonomy, a fleet management service that offers white-labelled ride-hailing app services and fleet management technology.

Fleetonomy develops technology to handle fleet utilization and improve efficiency by bringing visibility to maintenance constraints, real-time demand and supply availability.

Using Fleetonomy, Audi has dispatch and scheduling management dashboards and presents a mobile app for both passengers and drivers (it’s an Uber-like experience that automakers can control themselves).
