Toyota Moreno dealership and KINTO Italy become Top Partners of the Club for 2021/22

Bologna FC 1909, the Toyota Moreno dealership in the city and KINTO Italy – a subsidiary of the Toyota Group dedicated to innovative and environmentally friendly transport services – are delighted to announce a new partnership for the 2021/22 season. For the fifth consecutive season, the Toyota Moreno dealership will take their place at the side of the Rossoblù as a Top Partner. The Bologna family has grown this season too with the addition of KINTO Italy. KINTO hopes to become synonymous with “inclusivity and reliability, simplicity and intuitiveness and sustainability”, the aim of the firm is to provide a raft of new transport services, thanks to the use of electronic vehicles with high energy efficiency and low environmental impact, and an innovative integrated technology platform.

KINTO Italy and Toyota Moreno will lend their services to Bologna FC 1909 with the aim of making the movement of the Club’s directors, staff and fans easier, more accessible and more sustainable, helping to reduce CO2 emissions.

The offer of mobility services will be wide and tailored to the needs of the Club. It will include:

– KINTO One, the all-inclusive long-term rental service, will allow management and staff to travel on business trips in a fleet of 17 Toyota Full Hybrid cars and commercial vehicles, all selected to offer maximum comfort, roominess and modularity, as well as to minimise fuel consumption and emissions;

– KINTO Share, the innovative car sharing service has been made available to staff and will allow a response to any transport need. This is an extension of the service that Toyota Moreno recently launched for its clients in the city of Bologna with a fleet of over 25 Full Hybrid vehicles;

– KINTO Join, the carpooling service that will allow fans to share the trip to the stadium or other destinations in their car with other supporters, favouring the movement of urban traffic by reducing the number of cars on the streets and emissions;

– KINTO Go, the multi-modal mobility platform that will allow people to buy urban public transport tickets, e.g. to get to the stadium, directly from the app with a single click.

 Christoph Winterling, Bologna’s Marketing and Commercial Director, said “it’s a pleasure to start this journey with KINTO – a start-up of the Toyota Group – with whom we share the propensity for innovation and environmental sustainability. We’re proud that KINTO chose BFC as the first club in Italy to launch their services. The coming years will see us involved in a transport project that will also include fans with new services dedicated to them. If KINTO are the new addition, the Moreno Group is the continuation of a relationship that has solidified in recent years. Moreno, a leading business in the local area, will be at our side for the next two years in the development of this innovative project.”

“This partnership with Bologna FC 1909 is, once again, a testimony of the strong bond between the Toyota Group and the world of sport,” said Mauro Caruccio, CEO of Toyota Financial Services and Italia and Chairman and CEO of KINTO Italy. “And our collaboration with the Moreno Dealership is an example of the teamwork that is vital in order to guarantee many more people the chance to benefit from sustainable and integrated transport solutions, which have been created to guarantee increased quality of life for all. Through the Bologna colours, KINTO wants to make itself known as a new system of the game, not just in sport but in daily life because the game of transport is played every day, from today into the future.”

Managing Director of the Moreno Group Giovanni Terzitta said: “The Moreno Group has thus confirmed with the utmost enthusiasm a partnership with Bologna FC 1909 that is in its fifth consecutive year. Thanks to the work done in collaboration with Toyota, we can share this synergy of passion and values within the world of sport. This renewal also consolidates their fantastic relationship that has been built on trust throughout the course of these past five years. Sharing a vision means putting your combined energies into the search for a better solution for the local area in service of our community of young athletes and more.”
