By / 10 years ago / News / No Comments

Dubbed “Audi Shared Fleet”, the service can be set up to offer any models from the Audi range and is said offer an intelligent premium mobility solution for businesses. Benefits include fleet management and pay-per-use as well as usage-based billing for commercial and private use.

Shared use is coordinated via an online booking portal, with each employee given a personal membership card that gives them keyless access to the cars.

Audi takes care of the refuelling, cleaning and servicing of the cars in the fleet to guarantee that ready-to-drive cars are available at all times.

Along with the leasing option, the “pay-per-use” arrangement gives the company a flexible billing model in which only actual usage time is paid.

The service has already been implemented by start-up campus “Factory Berlin”, which is running an Audi A1 Sportback, an A3 Sportback e-tron, an Audi A4 Avant and an Audi SQ5.

Employees can also drive vehicles from the “Audi shared fleet” at attractive rates in their private time, such as in the evening and on weekends.

‘Audi shared fleet is a mobility service that is individually tailored to the customer. With this concept we can offer companies the opportunity to optimize car pool utilisation and minimise vehicle downtime,’ said Bettina Bernhardt, head of Audi mobility.
