ekar says on-demand car refueling company CAFU will ensure that its “fleet is always ready to roll with a full tank” of petrol in each of its vehicles.
Following on from a successful trial, the region’s leading carshare operator explained thatCAFU uses ekar’s in-house app to identify cars in need of refuelling, “and when the vehicle isn’t in use, tops up the tanks ready to be driven by the next ekar customer.”
“A positive customer experience is at the core of our operations mantra and the partnership with CAFU ensures that each person unlocking our vehicles will be greeted by a full tank ready to enjoy their driving experience without the delay of filling up,” said Peter Moen, general manager, ekar UAE.
“In addition, we cover additional costs including insurance so our drivers can enjoy all the benefits of car ownership, without the financial burdens.”
Rashid Al Ghurair, founder, CAFU said his company’s ambition has been to bring “innovation and convenience” to its customers.
“Our partnership with ekar echoes that sentiment and we are excited to roll out this new technology that helps drivers save time and provide easy access to fuel services,” he added.
“We look forward to introducing more of such breakthrough innovative services in the near future.”
