FREE NOW and TIER partner to offer Europe wide e-scooter and e-moped option on app
Ride-hailing and mobility firm FREE NOW and micro-mobility provider TIER, have announced today that they have signed a strategic partnership. From April onwards, TIER e-scooters and e-mopeds will be available to book via the FREE NOW app.
The partnership will launch in eight German cities, shortly followed by France. Further cities across Europe will be launched throughout the summer.
With this deal, thousands of e-scooters and e-mopeds will be bookable via the FREE NOW app. In demonstration of both companies’ commitment to sustainability, TIER will take over 5,000 FREE NOW e-scooters, rebranding them to TIER and adding them to their fleet.
For both companies, greener travel is at the core: not only are both climate-neutral, they focus on the most eco-friendly mobility options in support of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Lawrence Leuschner, co-founder and CEO of TIER, said: “Our mission to change mobility for good is largely about creating strong partnerships to expand everyone's access to sustainable, easily accessible and multimodal mobility solutions. Teaming up with one of Europe’s leading mobility platforms will allow us to expand access to our micro-mobility services in Germany, France and other European countries.”
Marc Berg, CEO of FREE NOW, added: “Our partnership with TIER is a great demonstration of how committed FREE NOW is to being a multi mobility platform. It is our mission to empower smarter mobility decisions, help people to move freely and cities to thrive – we are looking forward to bringing even more sustainable e-scooter options to cities all across Europe. The availability of TIER e-scooters and e-mopeds in our app shows that consumers need one app to book all their services to move from A to B. We will make this possible together with TIER and will broaden our scope of multi mobility offerings massively in the future.”
