Sono Motors (subsidiary to “Sono Group N.V.,” NASDAQ: SEV), the
Munich-based solar mobility OEM, and the well-renowned German
company Bosch have agreed to cooperate on a joint Europe-wide
network of car repair shops. Within the framework of the Bosch Car
Service workshop concept, all maintenance and repair services will
be offered according to modern standards. Owners of the Sion, Sono
Motor’s solar electric vehicle, will be able to use all services
offered by participating car repair shops, including repair,
servicing, maintenance, and warranty services. In other words,
thanks to the Bosch Car Service network integration, Sion owners
will be able to more easily find a competent repair shop partner in
Europe. The overall 50 qualified Bosch Car Services to be trained
in the launch phase will be distributed throughout Germany in such
a way that both major cities and rural areas will be covered.
Additional qualified service centers will be added in the
subsequent rollout to create a comprehensive service network
available in many European countries.
Highly Qualified Bosch Partner
WorkshopsThe staff at Bosch partner workshops will receive
comprehensive prior training from Sono Motors after which they will
be authorized to perform repairs on high-voltage, photovoltaic, and
safety systems with the assistance of, if necessary, Sono Motors
Technical Field Service. All repair, warranty, and proactive
services may only be performed by authorized partner workshops,
which will be recognizable by a sign saying ‘Sono Motors Service
Partner’ outside the car repair shops. To make it even easier to
find the right repair shop, Sono Motors plans to provide a workshop
finder on its website.
“We are proud of our strategic partnership with Bosch Car
Service, a professional partner for all things automobile, which we
believe demonstrates the reputation that we are gaining as an OEM.
The Bosch brand represents top quality, and the workshop experts at
Bosch Car Service perform their service and repair work according
to modern standards. All of this makes Bosch a perfect partner for
Sono Motors in order to offer our customers comprehensive,
Europe-wide services,” says Laurin Hahn, CEO and co-founder of Sono
Motors.
“In Sono Motors we have found an innovative partner who is
exploring the exciting field of solar electric mobility. The
innovative technology and skills provided by Sono Motors to the
Bosch Car Service network ensures that customers will receive
reliable services for their vehicles. This further underlines the
Electric Vehicle competence of Bosch Car Service and helps to win
and retain also new customer groups,” says Thomas Winter, Vice
President Workshop Concepts at Robert Bosch.
The cooperation between Sono Motors and Bosch includes
comprehensive repair, service, and proactive service work. In
addition, Sono Motors encourages all Sion owners to perform their
own repairs whenever possible. “To us, the Sion is a symbol of
independence. Of course you should take your car to a repair shop
when there is a problem, but we want our customers to feel
confident enough to perform minor repairs, such as replacing a
light bulb or a wiper blade, themselves,” says Laurin Hahn. As an
accompanying measure, Sono Motors plans to provide tutorials for
certain DIY maintenance on its website.
