Collaborating to provide better solutions
“From Nov. 17, 2022, we will start production and deliveries of
the Fisker Ocean SUV, with France and Germany among the first
European markets to launch,” commented Fisker Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, Henrik Fisker. “Our partnership with Bridgestone
is being activated across multiple areas of our business and we
have been consistently impressed with Bridgestone’s investment into
the future of clean mobility and focus on innovative products and
service solutions for the next generation of electric vehicles. The
fact that Bridgestone offers unique end-to-end services and
packages – including original equipment fitments, after-sales and
mobility solutions to mobility players – is key. The ability to
make use of their extensive network to provide our own after-sales
servicing will be crucial to Fisker’s long-term success.”
Driving EV adoption through a fully integrated
approach
“As part of our commitment to help shape a sustainable future of
mobility, Bridgestone is supporting the adoption of EVs through a
fully integrated approach. This includes the development of premium
tyres and tyre technologies for EVs, along with dedicated fleet and
mobility solutions,” said Laurent Dartoux, President and CEO,
Bridgestone EMIA. “It also entails the development of an end-to-end
EV-ready retail and service network, which includes EV maintenance
and tyre services, EV charging and mobile services for EVs all
together under one roof.”
“Fisker’s passion for sustainable innovation and their mission
to make sustainable EVs more accessible aligns perfectly with our
own goals,” adds Dartoux. “Partnering with innovators like Fisker
is a key element to our approach and we are proud to put our strong
footprint and all the capabilities of our EV-ready retail network
at the disposal of their customers.”
Fisker will commence production of the Fisker Ocean SUV on Nov.
