Urban Connect Electrifies and Digitalises Wincasa Fleet 

Zürich, 19.09.2024: Urban Connect, the leading provider of corporate mobility solutions in Switzerland, continues to grow and is pleased to announce its intensified collaboration with Wincasa. After successful pilots over the last year, Urban Connect will take over the management of the Wincasa fleet from August 2024, which will grow to 46 electric cars and 23 e-bikes/scooters by 2026. 

About Urban Connect and Wincasa: 
 
Urban Connect is revolutionising the way companies approach employee mobility by offering a fully integrated ecosystem of shared mobility options. Over 50 companies such as Roche Switzerland, Google and Swiss already rely on the shared e-car, e-bike, and e-scooter fleets, which are supplemented with public transport access, digital parking solutions, and a mobility budget. This allows companies to save costs, effort, space, and emissions, while also offering their employees a seamless user experience.  

Wincasa is the leading integrated real estate service provider in Switzerland and offers its customers a broad portfolio of services along the entire real estate life cycle: from planning, construction and management to the revitalization and repositioning of a property. Founded in 1999, the public limited company is present in all parts of the country and has been part of Implenia since May 2023. 

Comments on the partnership  
 
Judith Häberli, co-founder of Urban Connect: “We are delighted to be working with Wincasa to further electrify, digitise, and optimise the mobility landscape in Switzerland. Our pilots together with Wincasa have shown that this leading real estate manager can also take the lead when it comes to mobility: with shared electric cars, shared e-bikes, and e-scooters that can be used for business and private trips. So it’s a win-win-win situation: Win #1: Wincasa reduces costs. Win #2: employees also have private access to an inexpensive electric vehicle. Win #3: with the electric fleet, Wincasa is taking a big step towards sustainability and so the environment also benefits.” 

Philipp Schoch, Head of Management at Wincasa: “We have had very good experiences with the electrification of our company fleet during the pilot phase. The digital, comprehensive solution from Urban Connect has won us over. We are now rolling out this new mobility concept at all our locations in Switzerland. By working with Urban Connect, we can achieve our goals in the area of employee mobility, reduce fleet emissions at the same time, and always have full transparency about our electrified fleet.”
