Based on the results of an independent Frost & Sullivan study, the consulting firm presents the European Company of the Year Award each year to companies exhibiting best practices in their industry. In the corporate carsharing category, AlphaCity ranked number one in 2014 because it offers best-in-class flexibility, freedom, convenience and cost-efficiency to corporate customers.
A range of outstanding features and benefits distinguishes AlphaCity. For one, it's a flexible solution that Alphabet tailors to each customer's requirements by applying its unique consultancy approach. All AlphaCity cars are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, including keyless access. Any registered employee can therefore easily participate in the efficient mobility solution, and can even book cars evenings and weekends for private use, which helps employers recuperate associated costs.

Soon electric vehicles will also be offered as part of AlphaCity, following Alphabet's mission to be and remain the most innovative and sustainable Business Mobility provider on the market.
