Almost 60 frontline workers involved in the battle against Covid-19 have been provided with free transport through a sponsorship programme launched by Current Vehicles.Piers Carr, founder and chief executive officer of the electric rental car pioneers, reached out to the business community with the idea a week ago.He said: “We got a really great and fast response from a number of companies who wanted to get behind this.”Already, Argus, One Communications, Aspen Re, Chubb, Harbour Realty, Clarien, Ed Broking, Uber Super Duper, and a private individual from Warwick Academy have sponsored a vehicle, or vehicles, for a month.For every sponsored Twizy, Current Vehicles sponsors another one.Mr Carr said: “Between them all, and including our support, close to 60 vehicles have been sponsored. It has been a really great effort.”The company informed frontline workers about the programme via its social media channels and has received almost 200 applications for free use of a Twizy. Some 70 per cent of applicants are employees of Bermuda Hospitals Board, Mr Carr said.The Current boss said nearly all of the sponsored vehicles have been picked up.He said: “You can really gauge the sense of relief from those that have picked up vehicles so far. A lot of them say they were taking taxis to and from work.”Mr Carr added: “We are going to continue the programme, we are definitely looking for more sponsorship right now.”He said companies interested in sponsoring a vehicle can contact Current at info@currentvehicles.com.Frontline workers needing transportation are advised to apply to the programme at currentvehicles.com/frontline.
