DOTT PRESENTS THE DOTT WAY

© Kinsmen

For Dott, the safety of his fleets is a top priority.

With a multimodal fleet of 40,000 e-scooters and 10,000 e-bikes, Dott is a reliable city partner, providing safe and responsible micromobility services in 40 cities and municipalities across Europe.

Dott’s sector’s current challenges can be overcome not so much with future technologies, but rather with good regulation and responsible operations. Dott stands out because it is a responsible employer: All of its warehouse employees have permanent positions subject to social security contributions. A strong team in every town and municipality has helped Dott to win tenders in cities such as London, Paris and Milan. Currently 21 employees work in the company’s warehouse in the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne and undertake maintenance, repair and cleaning work on its fleet of e-scooters and e-bikes.

Responsibility based on permanent employment

Dott’s permanent employment model means first and foremost that every member of the team has a permanent part-time or full-time employment contract as well as the option to buy shares in the company. The company sees this as an expression of the social sustainability of its operations.

But it also gives Dott complete control over, and full responsibility for, every aspect of its processes so that the company can guarantee safe fleets and safe systems. All the repairs, maintenance work and checks on the fleet are completed by the company’s trained staff. Dott’s replaceable batteries are safely charged at fireproof charging cabinets at all its locations. This means that Dott operates a safe fleet. Another benefit of Dott’s model is that professionally maintaining and repairing its vehicles means that Dott operates a full life-cycle management system that gives every vehicle a very long lifespan. The first generation of its e-scooters were brought onto the market in 2019 and are still on the roads today. Almost 1,000 of Dott’s e-scooters have already covered 6,000 kilometres. The company has tested the hardware on its e-scooters up to 30,000 kilometres and assumes that, providing they are still safe, the first generation can remain in use. In addition, Dott recycles replaced parts and the vehicles that have been taken out of service altogether.
