What UFODRIVE does
UFODRIVE is a Luxembourg-headquartered (Capellen) technology company that operates two interconnected businesses in the electric mobility and fleet management sector. The original UFODRIVE business is a direct-to-consumer, digital, AI-powered all-electric vehicle rental platform that allows consumers to book and use EVs without a traditional counter-based rental process, initially across European cities and with stated expansion into the U.S. The UFOFLEET subsidiary, launched October 2023, is an AI-powered intelligent operating system for enterprise fleet operators, integrating rental, leasing, and dealer management functions under a single platform; it reported surpassing one million users across 18 countries within roughly its first year of operation.
UFOFLEET's product surface was materially expanded by the May 2026 acquisition of FleetMaster from Cox Automotive — a cloud-based fleet software platform founded in Belgium in 2011 serving rental, leasing, and retail operators across Europe and the Americas. The integration consolidates FleetMaster's established customer base and product suite under UFOFLEET's AI-driven operating system and is described as doubling UFOFLEET's footprint in an estimated $500 billion global fleet and mobility market. Named enterprise customers include Hertz (which is also a strategic investor) and Merchants Fleet.
UFODRIVE generates revenue through two recurring streams: consumer EV rentals (pricing not publicly disclosed) and enterprise SaaS subscription fees for UFOFLEET. Go-to-market combines a self-serve, direct-to-consumer digital channel for rentals with enterprise field sales for UFOFLEET. The company has raised approximately $31.6 million across five funding rounds from 2018 through 2024, with strategic investors including Hertz, Certares, Knighthead Capital Management, Pario Ventures, Business Venture Partners, and Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance. Leadership comprises 11 named executives including a CEO, Chairman, CFO, CTO, CMO, CCO, and CPO, with the company operating in the 11-50 employee band.
