Charlotte further expands Helbiz’s presence in the United States and will be the first city to see Helbiz’s adaptive vehicles

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helbiz (NASDAQ; HLBZ), a global leader in micro-mobility and the first company in its industry to be publicly listed on Nasdaq, today announced that it will be opening operations in Charlotte, NC, next month.

After an open call for proposals by the city, Helbiz has been granted a permit for up to 600 e-scooters.
