Electrifying the world’s largest shared mobility fleet
Enterprise® is the world’s largest car rental operator, an industry leader in shared mobility and one of the largest purchaser of new vehicles in the UK. We recently worked with consultants Roland Berger GmbH to engage and educate regulators and Government across Europe on why electrifying the rental industry is different to other sectors, and how we solve customer challenges and enable smarter mobility choices as we transition to a zero emission fleet.
