Hamburg (ots)

Cooltra’s eMopeds are available via the FREE NOW app in Spain, Portugal and Italy.

The alliance reinforces FREE NOW’s position as a leading platform in multimodal, urban and sustainable mobility and its goal of achieving net zero by 2030.

Booking, payment and license registration can be processed directly through the FREE NOW app.

FREE NOW, Europe’s leading multi mobility platform, and Cooltra, a European leader in sustainable micro mobility, announce their international partnership. From today on, FREE NOW users will be able to book the more than 7,500 electric scooters that Cooltra has in 6 European cities directly via the FREE NOW app: Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Lisbon, Rome and Milan.

For the first time, users in Spain and Portugal can book a third party provider service via the FREE NOW app. In Italy, it is the second third-party integration after eScooter provider Voi. With this deal, thousands of Cooltra eMopeds become available via their usual account - no new registration required. Both FREE NOW and Cooltra have greener travel at the core: not only are both climate-neutral, but they also focus on the most eco-friendly mobility options in support of the Paris Climate Agreement.

David Koral, Director Partnerships at FREE NOW: “Our partnership with Cooltra is an excellent demonstration of how committed FREE NOW is to being a sustainable multi mobility platform. We are incredibly excited to launch our first Third-Party-Integration in Spain and Portugal and are looking forward to launching in even more countries, making various services available in only one app.”

Timo Buetefisch Co-Founder and CEO of Cooltra: "Both FREE NOW and Cooltra share the same interest for sustainability, so our goal is to promote and encourage citizens to opt for mobility options with the least environmental impact. This partnership reinforces the commitment of both companies to highlight the need for a shift towards a more sustainable model, with a multimodal transport offer that is more respectful of the environment and that decongests traffic in large cities, promoting the efficient use of available resources.”
