European micro-mobility provider Dott has announced its integration with the Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe (KVB) app, allowing users in Cologne to see the closest available e-scooters and e-bikes when planning a journey.

Alongside existing rail, bus and other mobility options in the city, Dott’s fleet of e-bikes and e-scooters will be shown on the map of the KVB app. The system redirects to the Dott app, where the vehicle can be booked directly.

Additionally, customers can choose whether to pay for a single trip or take advantage of Dott’s passes for greater value on more frequent travel. Dott’s e-bikes and e-scooters offer an efficient and sustainable way to travel in the city, whilst reducing congestion and pollution.

Tassilo Cremer, General Manager – Germany at Dott, said: “We want to make it as easy as possible for people to choose sustainable transport when travelling around their cities. By integrating with the KVB app, we hope that more people will discover how Dott’s fleet of e-scooters and e-bikes can provide the most efficient way to complete their journey.”

With the environment and social impact at the heart of every business decision that it makes, Dott is working to reuse, upcycle or recycle 100 per cent of used vehicles and parts, and aims to exceed a five-year lifespan for its vehicles.

Furthermore, Dott is targeting a 100 per cent electric logistics fleet and renewable energy in all of its cities. The service is designed to be as accessible as possible, and the micro-mobility company is working closely with local communities, aiming for equal coverage across the areas that it serves and partnering with local organisations to help to improve the cities in which it operates.
