Volkswagen and Gett Announce Partnership

May 26, 2016

The Volkswagen Group has just entered into a strategic partnership to further their efforts in being the driving force in the future of mobility. Last month, they announced the launch of an independent company which will develop mobility services. This week, they’ve announced a partnership with Gett, an on-demand mobility provider.

Volkswagen has invested $300 million in Gett, which through its app, riders can book rides instantly or pre-book them for later. Gett will gain strength in the market while working with Volkswagen to expand on-demand mobility services in Europe and beyond.

“Alongside our pioneering role in the automotive business, we aim to become a world leading mobility provider by 2025,” says Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft. “Within the framework of our future Strategy 2025, the partnership with Gett marks the first milestone for the Volkswagen Group on the road to providing integrated mobility solutions that spotlight our customers and their mobility needs.”

We hope to see this arrive in the United States in the coming years!
