The Mercedes EQA 300 parked next to the Raiffeisen branch in Gstaad is waiting for its first drivers. The electric vehicle is available in car sharing (shared mobility) to everybody. Locals and guests can increase their mobility by using the service in addition to public transport and benefit from flexible use. The car is parked in a place that could hardly be more central. In the immediate vicinity of the railway station and the village centre.

Sustainable because it conserves resources
The new offer is particularly attractive for infrequent drivers and second car users, and offers an environmentally friendly way of getting around. The Mercedes EQA 300 is powered by 100 percent solar energy and can be booked online around the clock. Unlike traditional car rental, the costs are made up of an hourly rate of CHF 2.80 and a price per kilometre of 62 centimes.

To register in advance, customers scan the QR code and follow the instructions provided. Currently the registration is only in German language, but after the one-time registration, short-term bookings are also possible, provided the vehicle is available.

The offer is a cooperation between Landi Simmental-Saanenland and Raiffeisenbank Obersimmental-Saanenland. The Landi is responsible for maintenance work such as cleaning or tyre changes or will assist with questions regarding driving an electrical vehicle.
