HyreCar and Clutch Technologies Partnership Delivers Automotive Industry's First Comprehensive Shared Fleet and On-Demand Mobility Solution


HyreCar Inc. (NASDAQ: HYRE), the carsharing marketplace for ridesharing, today announced a partnership with Clutch Technologies, a Cox (News - Alert) Automotive brand and the pioneer of subscription and mobility services software for the automotive industry. Together, HyreCar and Clutch will bring to market an industry-first mobility solution enabling shared fleet offerings paired with on-demand. This powerful collaboration provides dealers, OEMs and other providers with an all-inclusive solution to leverage the shift from automotive ownership to access and consumer demand for mobility alternatives.

Dealerships currently using Clutch can seamlessly integrate vehicle inventory on the HyreCar platform, connecting them directly with rideshare drivers to earn incremental recurring revenue. In turn, HyreCar's dealer clients will be able to utilize Clutch's industry-leading subscription software that powers a variety of convenient consumer-centric transportation solutions, such as Single Vehicle Subscription and Service Pickup and Delivery.

AmeriDrive, operator of one of the largest subscription fleets in North America, is the partnership's first mutual customer. With HyreCar and Clutch, AmeriDrive provides an alternative to vehicle ownership, enabling customers to select the vehicle, payment and term most suitable for their needs, including both gig options and affordable subscription alternatives. This joint offering will also help AmeriDrive more efficiently manage and optimize their fleets using real-time visibility into consumer driving patterns.

"We're constantly innovating in order to provide the automotive industry with a variety of diverse mobility solutions," said Vince Zappa, president of Clutch Technologies. "Our partnership with HyreCar hels us address market needs by leveraging its unique solution to enable dealers and others to capitalize on the strong vehicle demand driven by gig economy drivers for ridesharing and delivery services."



"Partnering with Clutch allows us to work with one of the most innovative companies in the automotive industry," said Joe Furnari, CEO of HyreCar. "HyreCar will be leveraging technologies built by Clutch and backed by the resources of Cox Automotive. This powerful alliance will allow HyreCar and Clutch to expand services to the dealer community at scale."
