Helbiz, a global leader in micro-mobility and the business combination target of GreenVision Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: GRNV), today announced it is partnering with the Epidemiological Emergency Commission of Italy to offer its support for the ongoing vaccination campaign against the Covid-19 outbreak.

Users who live in Bari, Cesena, Latina, Milan, Modena, Naples, Palermo, Parma, Pescara, Pisa, Ravenna, Rome, Turin and Verona will be able to take advantage of two free rides with an electric vehicle to go to the vaccination center and return home. To get started, residents simply need to download the Helbiz app from the App Store, Google Play or Huawei App Gallery and fill out the online form at www.helbiz.com/campagnavaccinale and attach the confirmation of the call for the administration of the vaccine. Within 72 hours, the user will receive a confirmation email that will guarantee free access to the service. This campaign is ongoing until September 30, 2021.
The initiative follows other Corporate Social Responsibility activities aimed at Italian hospitals and all those involved in the front line of the Covid-19 emergency. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Helbiz has been committed to helping the people and the government, continuing its services during the lockdown months of March and April 2020 and offering its electric vehicles to institutions and health personnel who needed to keep moving to carry out their work.
"At this precise moment in history, we have a duty to put our solutions and innovative mobility systems at the service of the community to reduce the health, social and economic impact of Covid-19," said Matteo Tanzilli, Head of Public Affairs at Helbiz. "Our vehicles offer a practical, fast and safe way for users to get their vaccines, all while social distancing."
"This initiative by Helbiz is to be applauded," continued General Domenico Pace, External Relations Advisor to the Commissioners. "The service offered to citizens is undoubtedly useful while being a sustainable transportation alternative. I hope that other entities will commit themselves in a similar way, offering services that support balanced, transparent and sustainable choices."
