Maximilian Wühr, CEO and co-founder of FINN said, “To achieve international climate targets, the shift to electric mobility has to be significantly accelerated over the next few years. After years of lack of production, the vehicles now need to be brought into the market. Our full-service and carefree subscription model is the perfect accelerant – for consumers and companies alike, With the new capital from Planet First Partners and the strong trust of our existing investors, we will expand our sustainability strategy significantly. We will double the proportion of electric vehicles in our fleet in the coming years and accelerate our growth through the e-mobility transition.”
Nathan Medlock, Managing Partner at Planet First Partners, added: “The transition to electric vehicles is one of the major societal shifts taking place globally and is crucial in our move towards a more sustainable economy. With road transport accounting for around one-sixth of global emissions, electric vehicles are vital to decarbonize society. FINN’s easy-to-use subscription model offers an innovative solution to assist consumers in making the move to electric vehicles and reducing their own carbon footprint.”
By supporting climate protection initiatives and maintaining a fleet that includes over 40% low-emission vehicles, such as plug-in hybrids and completely electric automobiles, FINN hopes to promote sustainable mobility for both people and the environment. The investment made by Planet First Partners will only be utilised to expand the fleet of electric vehicles.
