Read MoreHide Full Article
Fisker Inc. recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with Bridgestone for comprehensive after-sales and related maintenance solutions in France and Germany.
Bridgestone is a global leader in tires and rubber, providing safe and sustainable mobility solutions. The company offers a diverse product portfolio of premium tires and advanced solutions backed by innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions and improve fuel efficiency.
The latest collaboration scales up Fisker’s recent agreement with Bridgestone making the latter its exclusive tire partner for its upcoming all-electric Fisker Ocean SUV. The deal, announced in August, mainly entails Bridgestone supplying lightweight tires to Fisker that will help boost driving ranges.
United in their vision for a more sustainable future of mobility, the latest partnership is a win-win deal for the companies. It will enhance the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) through a fully integrated approach. Per this alliance and by being the industry’s first, Bridgestone will make its EV-ready retail and service network available to provide Fisker’s customers in France and Germany with widespread after-sales services throughout the Speedy, Pitstop and Reiff-ABS networks, which are part of Bridgestone’s extensive retail network in Europe. Speedy encompasses more than 450 locations throughout France, while in Germany, Pitstop and Reiff-ABS collectively offer services at more than 300 locations across the country.
Fisker is highly ecstatic about the deal. Bridgestone offers unique end-to-end services and packages – including original equipment fitments, after-sales and mobility solutions to mobility players – which plays a pivotal role for its selection in the deal. Fisker will choose the most appropriate sites from Bridgestone’s extensive service network in France and Germany to cater to its customers’ needs and specific requirements, fueling its long-term growth.
Fisker considers Bridgestone as a compatible partner with a like-minded approach to sustainability that is investing across its entire value chain, from R&D and product development, to manufacturing and retail, to make environmental-friendly products aimed at shaping the future of sustainable transportation. This involves the development of state-of-the-art premium tires and tire technologies for EVs along with dedicated fleet and mobility solutions. Bridgestone also offers an EV-ready retail and service network, which includes EV maintenance and tire services, EV charging and mobile services for EVs under the same umbrella.
For Bridgestone, Fisker’s commitment to making sustainable EVs widely accessible aligns with their goals. Joining forces with EV startups like Fisker is a crucial aspect of Bridgestone’s approach and the company is extremely optimistic about putting its EV-ready retail network at the disposal of Fisker’s customers.
The Ocean SUV is scheduled to commence production on Nov 17, 2022, at the carbon-neutral factory of Fisker’s manufacturing partner, Magna-Steyr, in Graz, Austria. France and Germany will be among the first European markets where the vehicle will be launched.
