Mumbai, Jan 24 (UNI) MG Motor India today announced a strategic tie-up with Myles, the car sharing and car subscription company from Carzonrent. The aim of the partnership is to provide next-generation
mobility solutions to customers.
MG Motor and Myles believe that the value of this tie-up will be over Rs 250 crores in the first phase. This would enable introduction of MG cars with disruptive car ownership solutions in
partnership with Myles.
'As part of our commitment to provide innovative and disruptive mobility solutions, we are excited about our strategic tie-up with Myles. This will help to cater to the evolving requirements of the new age customers. The partnership will enable customers to experience our upcoming SUV - MG HECTOR on a subscription basis,
book test drives of the car and avail courtesy car benefit through the Myles platform. We plan to extend the Myles subscription model for our second vehicle as well - a pure EV that will be launched by the end of this year,' said Rajeev Chaba, President & Managing Director, MG Motor India.?
With plans to launch the MG HECTOR in Q2 2019, the partnership will also enable MG Motor India to leverage the existing network of Myles across 21 cities in addition to its own network of 110 sales and
service touchpoints at the start of sales.
'As India’s largest B2B mobility solutions provider, Myles has always focussed on simplifying the car ownership experience for customers. Our partnership with MG Motor will enable our customers
to experience their first SUV; MG HECTOR and future MG cars through our platform,' said Sakshi Vij, Founder & CEO, Myles. 'We believe that the corporate professional today wants greater flexibility in
car ownership and our proprietary technology enables this for MNC’s, Indian Corporate houses and SMEs,' Sakshi added.
This strategic tie-up with Myles is part of the ongoing ‘MG Drives Innovation’ initiative. As part of this innovation drive, MG Motor has conducted several programs to identify, encourage and recognise
start-ups in the automotive space. MG Motor ran an ‘Auto-Tech Innovation Hunt’ in partnership with TiE and published a white paper on Connected Mobility at their recently concluded Global Summit. The
