ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab and the city of Brno have agreed on a far-reaching partnership for projects to promote sustainable mobility. In a memorandum of understanding (MoU), they agreed to introduce the BeRider e-scooter sharing service – which is a success in Prague – in Brno too. What’s more, as a public-private partnership, the city of Brno and ŠKODA’s innovation centre are pushing ahead with other projects as well. The aim is to expand and simplify the range of sustainable urban mobility services and to incorporate them even better into everyday life.

The striking green BeRider e-scooters are returning to Prague’s city centre at the start of March. Following a successful pilot phase, the e-scooter sharing company, launched by ŠKODA AUTO DigiLab in 2019, is increasing its fleet from its current 150 e-scooters to 700. In addition, the service is entering this year’s season with even more benefits for customers. In future, it will be possible to book the e-scooters via the free Citymove mobility app and they will be available in an even larger area of the city.
