GEFCO UK is working with electric car subscription service, Onto, to provide smart repair services and delivery to and from its four finished vehicle logistics (FVL) compounds across the UK.
The project will see GEFCO initially focus on smart bodywork repair services, for Onto’s rapidly growing electric fleet. The partnership will see GEFCO provide Onto with a full end-to-end service including collection and chauffeur delivery as well as bespoke vehicle conversions on new electric vehicle models.
Onto is an all-inclusive electric car subscription service, the first in the UK to enable drivers to swap the vehicle they are driving on-demand via an app. Onto manages the entire user experience, including its own keyless entry software and dedicated fleet and charge points.
GEFCO will use Moveecar, its recently implemented ‘one stop shop’ digital service platform that covers the whole end to end vehicle lifecycle. It provides real time monitoring of the delivery and collection services and has a current customer rating of 4.5/5.
Tracey Turner, Key Account Manager at GEFCO UK, commented: “This project marks an important development for our business. We are excited to grow our presence in the emerging new mobility sector, an industry that is set to expand rapidly in the coming years.
“We were introduced to Onto through our relationship with a leading manufacturer and superb track record in FVL. We are pleased to support the excellent service they provide for their customers and we are exploring further areas for collaboration as the project develops.”
Joe Knowles CCO at Onto commented: “With the recent launch of our new Onto brand identity and the ongoing growth of our fleet, this is an exciting time for the business.
“As the shift to electric vehicles progresses and customers seek ever more flexible and hassle-free services, we needed an experienced partner that matched our own ambition and commitment to quality. We look forward to a successful and dynamic partnership with GEFCO.”
