Bosch France, which is heavily involved in the design and manufacture of parts for electric vehicles, has introduced five such cars (different models) to its own fleet. They will be used for car-sharing in its ST. Ouen headquarters in the north of France, south of Calais. The vehicles are being leased for a period of 3 years from ALD Automotive, and are equipped with Carbox management technology. Carbox is the leading supplier in the domain of intra-company car-sharing, and this brings to 30 the number of electric vehicles in its fleet of 300. Commenting on the decision to introduce electric vehicles to its fleet, Bosch France electro-mobility head Stéphane Evanno said that it was intended that these vehicles would be self-financing through the savings they would generate in other areas, and through being rented to company personnel at the weekend.
