HIGHLIGHT… glide.io 

First established in 2015, glide.io is now part of the Mobilize ecosystem and is the developer of a platform of carsharing services that optimize fleet management. Building on its experience with operating shared mobility services, glide.io designs, develops and runs its platform for all types of customers, while also developing software solutions tailored to their needs.  

The technology delivered by glide.io can be easily connected to vehicles of any type – ICE, hybrid or electric – regardless of whether they are new or pre-owned. It is made available to companies, which then offer it to their employees, for work and/or personal use. In addition, glide.io caters to mobility operators as well as to car rental companies looking to expand their carsharing services to include the general public or to digitize an existing business activity. Car manufacturers, such as Renault, also use these digital tools to bring innovations to their dealership network, especially for the management of replacement and demonstrator vehicles. 

Today, the glide.io platform aggregates more than 6,000 shared and connected vehicles, and more than 200,000 users avail themselves of its carsharing and sustainable mobility services.

OUR ENERGY NEWS 

THE DOUBLE LIFE OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERIES 

One of Mobilize’s goals is to create sustainable ecosystems that combine electric mobility with smart charging and the reuse of batteries for storing renewable energy. 

To achieve this, Mobilize is combining its expertise with that of other players, such as Green-Vision, based in Etampes, near Paris, which specialises in integrating second-life batteries into other vehicles. Its founder, Yann Lelong, explains how this partnership works and what it brings to life with the ex-batteries of Renault vehicles.
