Summary
The Spanish e-scooter manufacturer Torrot Electric has opted for the Berlin Battery-as-a-Service provider Swobbee as a battery service partner. Swobbee has developed Europe’s first manufacturer-open battery replacement system for electric light vehicles such as e-scooters and e-bikes, which has recently been put into series production following successful pilot projects. “We believe that decentralised battery charging stations will play an important role in sharing business models in the future and would like to offer this solution as the industry’s innovation leader to our existing and future customers,” explains Vahe Pekmez, Managing Director of Torrot Deutschland and person in charge for business development Torrot Electric. Tobias Breyer, CMO of Swobbee parent company GreenPack, sees in the battery exchange a win-win situation for all parties involved: “We are delighted to be working with Torrot to pave the way for a future of e-scooter sharing that is both environmentally and economically sustainable. At the same time, with the Torrot battery, the range of applications of Swobbee stations is growing, which simplifies the operation of more and more fleets.
