Infosys, India's second-largest IT services provider, has established a five-year cooperation with automaker clever Europe GmbH to strengthen the company's direct-to-customer (D2C) and
online electric vehicle (EV)
business models in Europe.
“Infosys will also help smart Europe GmbH to efficiently sell EVs across 15 European countries with a D2C sales approach and secure engagement across lead generation, prospect conversion, sales and aftersales channels, supplemented by end-to-end ownership and accountability,” the Bengaluru-headquartered IT major said in a statement.
