With this expansion, the company’s total car fleet in Romania will exceed 500 electric vehicles of six different models. The cars are already available in Bucharest.
“We are very happy with the pace of our development in Romania. In just two years, we have managed to expand our car fleet ten times and to become the largest car sharing operator in Romani”, said Dimitar Stoyanov, Country Manager SPARK Romania.
The new cars will significantly increase the availability of the carsharing service in Bucharest.
Dacia Spring is an electric car suitable for urban mobility. It uses a 27 kWh battery and has a range of up to 230 km, according to (WLTP). The Spring is currently exclusive only for Romania from all SPARK markets and will be in the low price segment of the service.
In early 2022, SPARK said it had signed an agreement with GEM Global Yield LLC SCS, a Luxembourg-based private, alternative investment group, for a EUR30 million capital commitment. Under the agreement, GEM commits to providing SPARK with a share subscription facility of up to EUR30 million for a 36-month term following the public listing of SPARK Technologies shares. The proceeds from this financing will be used for the entry onto new EU markets, massive scale-up of SPARK’s customer base and fleet size, and further advancement of the proprietary software systems. <span data-ccp-props=”{” “=”” style=”font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit;”>
