Element Fleet Management will provide operational support for Waymo’s autonomous ride-hailing fleet in Toronto, maximizing vehicle availability.
The partnership will see Element coordinate the people, facilities, infrastructure, and vehicle operations required to keep Waymo’s fleet ready, available, and operating efficiently.
Why autonomous vehicles need careful fleet management Large self-driving electric fleets will require substantial back-office fleet support to remain ready and roadworthy, with no driver available to schedule charging or book maintenance appointments.
This is creating new opportunities for companies with fleet management expertise and experience.
Element evolving for next-gen mobility Laura Dottori-Attanasio, Chief Executive Officer, Element Fleet Management, said the company’s partnership with Waymo: “Demonstrates how Element is evolving to support the next generation of mobility: combining our fleet leadership, intelligent mobility solutions, and operational capabilities to help our clients and partners scale efficiently and reliably across markets."
