Element Fleet Management Corp. announced that Autofleet, its advanced fleet management optimization platform and pillar within Element Mobility, has partnered with inDrive, the global mobility and urban services platform.

This partnership allows for streamlined driver and asset control, real-time data integration, and operational insights that support efficient, scalable, and reliable fleet operations. 

We reached out to Kobi Eisenberg, President of Element Mobility and Autofleet, and asked him some questions about this new partnership.

AF:Autofleet's partnership with inDrive focuses on ride-hailing, but how could it help Element's commercial and corporate fleet clients?

Eisenberg: While inDrive is a ride-hailing company, the focus of this partnership is on fleet management operations. Autofleet's platform helps manage and optimize partner fleets’ operations with inDrive, providing unified visibility and control across their operations and serving as a single source of truth for fleet operations. This partnership demonstrates capabilities that directly benefit Element's commercial and corporate fleet clients. Autofleet's platform enables digitizing client experience and automating workflows across the complete fleet lifecycle, from vehicle ordering through maintenance to remarketing. The inDrive partnership specifically showcases Autofleet's ability to manage operational structures involving multiple partners across different geographies, which is valuable for Element's clients operating distributed fleets or managing vehicles across divisions and subsidiaries. Just as inDrive gains comprehensive operational visibility and control, Element's commercial clients can achieve the same unified oversight across their entire fleet lifecycle, enabling better decision-making, automation, resource optimization, and streamlined operations at enterprise scale.

AF: What kinds of data or insights from a platform like Autofleet could be most valuable to traditional fleets - things like utilization, driver performance, or EV planning?

Eisenberg: Traditional fleets, especially corporate and service fleets, benefit from operational intelligence that’s often native to ride-hailing platforms: 

1. Asset management - including vehicle lifecycle management, inspection reports, maintenance schedules, and more.

2. Driver management - including shift management, driver training, special requirements and skills, dynamic vehicle matching and more.

3. Streamlined, automated workflows - that allow data and information to be automatically translated into actions and ensure smooth operation. 

4. Full visibility and control across the business- including in-depth reporting and dashboards, administration, and provisioning controls etc. 

5. Utilization metrics: Idle time, trip frequency, and time spent on vs. off duty to uncover efficiency gaps. 

6. Energy and cost modeling: Comparing ICE vs. EV costs, factoring in range, charging patterns, and regional electricity prices.

AF: Are the tools built for ride-hailing fleets and those used by corporate fleets starting to merge into one connected mobility platform? How?

Eisenberg: Absolutely. The future of ride-hailing is fleets. Whether it’s to improve the quality and reliability of supply today, or to prepare for the coming wave of AVs and robotaxis, the ride-hailing model is shifting toward professionalized, managed vehicle operations. That shift demands the same kind of fleet management tools that traditional fleets have used for years, but now supercharged with real-time data, predictive insights, and automation. What we’re seeing is the truly connected mobility platform that unites both worlds: fleet management that knows not just where vehicles are, but what they’re doing, how efficiently they’re being used or routed, and when they need service or charging and acts on them. For fleets, this convergence is already unlocking huge value, from optimizing utilization and personal mileage programs to simplifying compliance, electrification, and cost recovery through opening new services all on one unified platform. It’s making mobility more dynamic, data-driven, and sustainable. That’s the vision behind Element Mobility: bringing together Element’s scale and industry experience with Autofleet’s innovation. Alongside our new strategic partnerships, including Motus and Samsara, we’re creating an intelligent mobility ecosystem for every kind of vehicle operation. It’s about accelerating client-centered solutions.
