The concept of the sharing provider Twist Mobility has only been tested for a year, and now the start-up is going to the company Greenmobility. For the Danes, the takeover is their entry into the German market.
Car sharing is mainly found in large cities. The start-up Twist Mobility wants to change that. First, it is launching a pilot project near Ulm, where nearly 500 electric cars or scooters have been rented since the beginning of 2020. Now Greenmobility has struck and bought the start-up. This marks the car-sharing company's entry into the German market.
The founders of Twist are the energy provider EnBW from Baden-Württemberg and the company builder Bridgemaker. The start-up offers municipalities a fleet and infrastructure around the rental of electric vehicles. Enbw will remain the exclusive sales partner after the purchase. Bridgemaker CEO Henrike Luszick is pleased with the acquisition: "We are happy that Twist Mobility's attractive and sustainable business model is supported by these major players and will be scaled by GreenMobility in the future; this has proven Bridgemaker's business model."
Greenmobility has been focusing on the zero-emission concept since 2016, and with the purchase of Twist Mobility, the company is expanding its concept: "We are proud to improve electric mobility in rural areas from now on," says CEO Thomas Heltborg Juul.
