This year, more than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted for consideration in a wide range of categories, including Company of the Year, Marketing Campaign of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and many more – making the Stevie’s one of the world’s foremost business awards.

UFODRIVE won in the Company of the Year category for Transportation – Medium-sized companies.

UFODRIVE is a young but rapidly expanding growth-stage company with sustainability and innovation at the front and centre of its vision. It has rapidly expanded of late with rental locations – known as ‘UFObays’- now in 22 locations across 9 countries, including most recently, San Francisco, marking their first opening in the US.

“A trailblazer in its field” according to one judge, UFODRIVE makes car rental easy, electric, and totally sustainable – as well as providing the software for other fleets to go electric as efficiently and effortlessly as possible. With both of these vital aspects of the electric revolution covered, it will continue to pioneer a new generation of e-mobility.

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 300 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process in June and July.

Aidan McClean, CEO and co-founder of UFODRIVE, comments: “We are over the moon to be winning this prestigious award – and we are well aware that it does not come easily. It’s always rewarding to see your achievements and goals recognised by the business and sustainability community. The team here have done an incredible job in stewarding, promoting and expanding this vision and I am honoured that the International Business Awards have chosen to give us a Gold Stevie on our first try.”

Renaud Marquet, COO and co-founder of UFODRIVE, comments: “The last couple of years have been hugely challenging for us, in common with many other businesses. But we’ve succeeded in turning a start-up into a rapidly scaling business that does good for the planet – and I am thrilled to see this recognized by the panel, as at times it’s been tough going. We are all proud of our achievement here today and will add it to the important milestones we’ve passed so far”.
