Britain’s Uber drivers have quickly seized the opportunity to own and run Toyota’s all-electric bZ4X SUV following the launch of a new partnership between the manufacturer and the leading transportation and ride-hailing business. In little more than 10 weeks, orders have been placed for more than 1,000 bZ4X, along with other Toyota and Lexus battery electric vehicles. In addition to individual owner-drivers, Toyota’s fleet partners have secured hundreds of sales linked to the new Uber Driver Scheme. Toyota (GB) and Toyota Financial Services have developed a new vehicle financing product specifically for Uber owner-drivers to acquire a new Toyota or Lexus BEV through Toyota or Lexus Hire Purchase with 0% APR representative, over a term of up to 60 months. The Toyota bZ4X addresses the principal requirements of Uber owner-drivers, not least in strong reliability and lasting, hard-wearing quality, mile after mile, day after day. There is also the peace of mind provided by Toyota’s industry-leading warranty of up to 10 years or 100,000 miles and specific cover for the electric vehicle battery, which is guaranteed to retain a minimum 70 per cent of capacity for up to 10 years or 620,000 miles. #Toyota #Automotive #BEV #Company #Fleet

Is this scheme also open to non uber private hire or taxi drivers?
