UBER PARTNERS WITH HERTZ FOR LUCID ROBOTAXI FLEET CARE

Hertz established Oro Mobility as a dedicated affiliate to provide fleet management across multiple mobility segments, starting with Uber's autonomous vehicle operations. The partnership consolidates essential robotaxi operations under a single provider. Oro Mobility will handle vehicle cleaning, battery charging, and mechanical repairs—critical functions for maintaining uptime on Uber's autonomous fleet. This arrangement allows Uber to focus on autonomous driving technology and ride operations while outsourcing fleet logistics. Hertz gains entry into the growing autonomous vehicle support market, positioning Oro Mobility as a fleet management platform potentially available to other operators. The deal reflects the infrastructure requirements emerging around autonomous vehicles. As robotaxi services scale, specialized maintenance networks become necessary to keep vehicles operational. Hertz's existing automotive expertise and facility network provide a foundation for supporting autonomous fleets at the required pace and scale.
