Bolt, which operates in about 40 countries in Europe and Africa, says it’s the first mobility platform in Europe to offer car-sharing, ride-hailing and micromobility with scooters and electric bikes in one app. — Bolt

Bolt Technology OU, which competes with Uber Technologies Inc in Europe and Africa, will roll out a new car-sharing project in the Estonian capital, according to founder and chief executive officer Markus Villig.

If the pilot in Tallinn proves successful, Bolt will quickly expand it to other cities as it’s done with the two-year-old food delivery service, which now operates in 20 countries, Villig said in an interview. The company will lease 500 cars for the initial stage, he said.
