Baloise is investing in TRONITY, thereby gaining a partner specialising in electric vehicles for its . TRONITY is playing its part in the transition to sustainable transport and covers the entire lifecycle of an electric vehicle. “Our focus is trained firmly on people who drive electric vehicles, whether they are private individuals, members of a vehicle fleet or self-employed,” says Torsten Born, Chief Executive Officer of TRONITY.

This overview can be accessed via an app or on TRONITY’s website and enables users to view in-depth information about their running costs and the condition of their vehicle’s battery.

The company’s product provides a transparent record of data from electric vehicles, which is invaluable when it comes to selling or buying an electric vehicle with confidence.
