After 2 years from the last edition, we finally hit the ground of IAA Mobility again!
On September 5-8 the 2hire team exhibited at one of the most immersive automotive events worldwide held in Munich, Germany. 🇩🇪✈️
We exhibited within the Smart City Area, managed by the German Smart City Association, which has bundled several startups in the mobility field to create an all-round innovation area.
Thanks to the Smart City Association for the great set-up, the constant support, and the very good Italian coffees on hand. You helped us to fully concentrate on the event and make our experience at IAA even more valuable!The event unveiled a multitude of exciting trends, from electric vehicles and services around them taking center stage, to connectivity of cars bringing much light as one of the key solutions to seamlessly integrate smart technology into vehicles, creating a more personalized, convenient, and innovative experience for end users.
We took the opportunity of the IAA Mobility showcase to publicly share the recent partnership we launched with Fiat, Jeep, Alfa Romeo and Abarth concerning on-demand services for connected car owners. The ecosystem of services available is launching with the first four operators: on-demand e-charging with E-GAP and Reefilla, on-demand car care with WashOut, and in-car delivery with Poste Italiane!
Was nice to have a chat with Mobilisights, Data Business Unit of Stellantis Group, and E-GAP, energy delivery company, a pleasant moment to exchange feedback on the recent partnership and consolidate the working relationship carried on over the years.

There has been extensive talk about the increasingly popular alternatives to car ownership such as renting, leasing, car subscription, and sharing, and how technology can help make these services even more seamless and convenient. The exchange of insights involved some top mind professionals in the automotive and mobility sectors. We did enjoy our chat with Enterprise, exchanging visions on the most recent developments of telematics and connected solutions for fleets, digitisation of the rental process, and connectivity as a turning point for the exploitment of cars to the fullest.
We pointed out several times the importance of digital management for rental companies (and not only rentals!). Bosch held a compelling session stressing the importance of digitisation of fleets.The aim is to provide a transparent, immediate, and innovative rental experience for end users and a smoother and seamless system management for operators. That’s exactly what we also believe in and where technology can make a difference! 💪🏼
During the panel “From Hardware to Software: an Industry in Transition”, with speakers from Microsoft, ZF Group and other leading automotive experts, it emerged that by 2025, up to 40% of cars are expected to have new architectures and will be software defined. The panelists all agreed on identifying collaboration between players in the industry as the key enabler to make SW defined vehicles happen.
Users now expect their vehicles to offer features similar to those found in smartphones and other consumer electronics, so software-based models and connectivity are becoming pivotal for the modern automotive experience.
IAA Mobility confirms itself again this year as one of the automotive & mobility events par excellence, fully targeting our market goals. It provided our team with an exceptional opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge solutions around vehicles’ connectivity while talking to OEMs, Tier-1, and mobility experts from all over the world.
We cannot help but thank everyone who dropped by the stand, including Mercedes-Benz, with whom we defined the next core steps of the 2hire <> Mercedes collaboration around fleet connectivity; Drivetlv, leading innovation hub based in Tel Aviv, with which we delved into the international smart mobility market; the Tronity team for a great chat on the latest updates on car data and APIs.
It’s clear that the future of mobility is being shaped by technology around vehicles, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this thrilling journey!

Grazie alla tecnologia di 2hire, E-GAP – società per la ricarica smart dei veicoli elettrici – è da oggi in grado di fornire ai propri clienti il servizio di ricarica on-demand in modalità connessa, per un’esperienza completamente digitale e senza stress.
L’offerta, inizialmente disponibile per i proprietari di Fiat 500 elettrica grazie alla collaborazione con Stellantis, permetterà ai clienti di E-GAP di ricevere la ricarica in maniera completamente digitale. Il cliente potrà infatti autorizzare E-GAP a sbloccare l’auto per la ricarica in autonomia e sicurezza, evitando di doversi recare fisicamente presso la propria vettura.
“Questa innovativa connessione tecnologica tra il veicolo e il nostro sistema di ricarica rappresenta un significativo passo avanti nel nostro impegno a fornire un servizio all’avanguardia nel mercato della mobilità e sempre più centrato sul cliente che guida in elettrico. Ciò permetterà ai nostri clienti di risparmiare un tempo maggiore grazie all’accesso diretto da parte di E-GAP allo sportello dell’auto” – Francesco De Meo, Head of Marketing di E-GAP
Nei prossimi mesi l’innovativa modalità di ricarica sarà disponibile anche per gli altri modelli elettrici del gruppo Stellantis, e successivamente per gli altri brand.
La tecnologia di 2hire permette a servizi innovativi come quello offerto da E-GAP di accedere digitalmente ai veicoli, dietro il consenso dei propri clienti e in maniera sicura, per una user experience premium, innovativa e tecnologica.

È necessario per i rental arrivare ad una esperienza utente digitale e keyless. 2hire si posiziona come leader tecnologico nel fornire una doppia soluzione ai rental per digitalizzare sia il back office che la user journey.
Sole 24 Ore - Sezione NOVA, 5 maggio 2023
La mobilità sta abbracciando sempre più tecnologie digitali per innovarsi. Se nel trasporto pubblico l’accesso ai mezzi sta diventando più immediato e tecnologico, nel privato gli utenti possono utilizzare l’auto come centro di controllo grazie ai veicoli nativamente connessi. Un’evoluzione digitale che spinge anche il mercato del noleggio a muoversi nella stessa direzione. Secondo un recente rapporto Aniasa, nel 2022 una macchina su quattro era a noleggio con 365 mila nuove auto immatricolate. Sebbene i rental abbiano digitalizzato parte del processo di back office, è necessario arrivare ad una esperienza utente digitale e keyless. Un’ esperienza innovativa rispetto alla concezione tradizionale di noleggio, fatto di carta (troppa) e penna e chiavi in mano passando al desk a ritirarle e consegnarle.
Nel panorama della digitalizzazione, 2hire si posiziona come leader tecnologico nel fornire una doppia soluzione ai rental che vogliono innovarsi: sia nella parte di back office che con una user journey innovativa e keyless.
Gli strumenti offerti da 2hire permettono di connettere tutte le auto, offrendo un servizio orientato al cliente, digitale e contactless con gestione operativa interna rinnovata. Le auto vengono dotate di avanzata tecnologia integrata, fornendo dati come livello di batteria/carburante e, su richiesta, posizione GPS ed interazioni come apertura/chiusura porte ed abilitazione accensione/spegnimento motore, rendendo il noleggio completamente digitale sia per il cliente che per il rental, dal ritiro e consegna auto via app al controllo remoto della flotta, eliminando, specie per noleggi business, la necessità di un desk fisico.
2hire risolve i limiti tecnici dei rental attuali diminuendo il tempo operativo per check-in e check-out a meno di 10 minuti, eliminando le file al desk, azzerando i tempi di attesa, dando totale controllo della gestione veicoli ai rental e ottimizzando i costi di erogazione del servizio.

The technology company 2hire, leader in intelligent and shared mobility solutions, will participate in collaboration with Estrima, manufacturer of the smallest 4-wheeled electric vehicle, at one of the biggest and most important leading mobility shows worldwide: Autonomy Paris. The event will be held in the French capital, at Porte de Versailles exhibition center on the 16-17 of March, where more than 200 exhibitors and 8000 visitors will meet to discover the latest innovations in the world of international mobility.
Following the two digital editions due to the pandemic, the Autonomy Paris show reopens its doors, bringing the most innovative companies in the field of mobility and technology back together. A perfect opportunity to publicly share the partnership between two main players in the mobility sector: 2hire and Estrima.
The two companies started to work together back in 2020, when the first tests of 2hire technology on one Birò were taking place. Since then, the two established a long term professional relationship, by seeing Estrima open new stores around Europe (and the last one opened in Paris), and having 2hire as a trusted technology partner, also widely present at European and international level.
Since then, the factory-made Biròs, as well as being a perfect green and efficient alternative for any urban commute, have also natively installed a 2hire device, making them intelligent. The partnership between the two companies makes it possible to launch, run, and scale a sharing service, integrate Birò vehicles in a multi-model fleet, and develop digital applications on top of the connected Birò.
Autonomy will be the perfect opportunity to meet them at their stands D-14 and D-16 to discover the features of the world’s smallest micro-car and its fully digitized functioning thanks to the advanced technology of 2hire. Moreover, it will be possible to test drive Birò on site, allowing visitors to try out the vehicle and its digitized operation.
