Mobilize Bento: de baanbrekende microbedrijfswagen

De Mobilize Bento is een volledig elektrische, hypercompacte microbedrijfswagen met een laadbak. Het productiemodel van de Bento zal in oktober 2024 worden onthuld op de Paris Motor Show. De Bento is ontworpen voor ondernemers die behoefte hebben aan een wendbaar, praktisch en veilig voertuig voor last-mile-diensten in stedelijke en voorstedelijke gebieden.

De Bento is:

• Ultracompact (2,54 meter lang, 1,30 meter breed);
• Elektrisch en stil, waardoor hij kan rijden in zero-emissiezones.

Mobilize Bento is 100% electric, 100% compact and 100% connected

100% electric

Bento aims for a range of 140 kilometres (subject to WMTC certification): it’s perfect for urban and suburban driving – and it can drive at up to 80 km/h. You can charge it on a standard household socket or on  a Type 2 socket. So you can use public or company charging stations.

100 % compact

Bento offers a useful volume of almost 1 cu. metre of payload, including a closed box with a load capacity of almost 700 litres. It is extremely agile – its turning radius is only 3.4 metres – making it perfect for busy city centres.

100 % connected

Mobilize Bento features native connectivity to make life and work easier for professionals:

• The system sends real-time updates –- remaining battery charge, remaining range, mileage, etc. – to fleet managers.
• It comes with a ‘digital key’ to open and start the vehicle from a smartphone, which simplifies vehicle sharing within a team and car rotation for fleet managers.
• It includes geolocation and geofencing, enabling fleet managers to set a zone in which the vehicle is authorised to operate.

Mobilize Bento is 100% safe and 100% comfortable

100 % safe

Bento shields the driver in its closed cabin with elytra doors. And it is the only vehicle in the quadricycle segment that comes with an airbag as standard.

100 % comfortable

Bento was designed around the driver’s comfort and convenience:

• Air conditioning is available as an optional extra;
• The heated seat and windscreen keep the temperature right for the driver with a limited effect on the battery.

Mobilize Bento is tough and low-maintenance

It was engineered around use: the front and rear bumpers, for instance, are the same, so they are easy to change, which means lower costs and less downtime. We also developed a special plastic grain for the shields and rocker panels to keep wear marks and scratches invisible.

Mobilize Bento is right for sustainable mobility

Bento aims to incorporate 40% recycled materials* (including the battery) and will be 95% recyclable (including the battery) at the end of its life.

*The market average is only 15%.

Mobilize Power Solutions: : turnkey charging systems

Mobilize Power Solutions knows professionals – and knows they need to keep their fleet on the road all the time – so it can provide end-to-end support, covering advice, mapping out and setting up safe and solid charging infrastructure, keeping capital expenditure under control, streamlining operations and optimising energy.

It has the expertise that transport and logistics companies need to tackle the challenges around e-mobility, and provides it in three steps: in the form of advice (including scoping), rollout and operation and maintenance.

Advice

Mobilize Power Solutions helps professionals assess their present and future needs based on the number of vehicles and their charging capacity, and on their employees’ habits and vehicle use. They determine the number and type of charging station and their power, while optimising energy consumption and costs.

Charging solutions anywhere: in companies or depots, on the road or in employees’ homes.  On the road, you need a network of fast-charging stands – especially for delivery vehicles, as you want to keep downtime to a minimum. Mobilize Power Solutions supplies its Mobilize Business Pass to pay for charges, a specific app (which locates available charging stations, routes planner, etc.) and provides assistance 24/7.

Operation and maintenance

Mobilize Power Solutions will present its platform to supervise and manage fleet charging on company premises, at public charging stations and at employees’ homes.

• Supervision:
  • Decide which charging station each user is allowed to access;
  • Manage your budget with monthly billing for charges at public stations and automatic reimbursements for charges at home.
• Analysis:
  • Track each charge in real time: stand location, kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumed, charge time per user;
  • Customised dashboards and reports.
• Remote access to start or stop charging, reboot a charging station or unlock a charging cable.
• Maintenance: solutions tailored to specific requirements (preventive maintenance, shorter servicing timeframes).

Mobilize Fleet Monitoring: optimizing your fleet

Mobilize Fleet Data: raw data

This solution enables you to easily collect real-time raw data from vehicles including their route, mileage, consumption, maintenance alerts, health status, GPS coordinates and even driving style.

Once you have that data, you can feed it into your fleet management tool – and the connectivity built into Renault Group vehicles optimises the process.

Mobilize Fleet Connect: a connected fleet management platform

This 360° web-based and mobile platform enables professionals to manage and make the most of their multi-brand connected fleet with only a few clicks.
