The company, based in Grünstadt, Germany, are now working together with Union as a top sponsor and sustainable mobility partner with their electrically powered cars. The model range currently includes four different variants, ranging from the Dyo microcar to the Leo and Jaco to the Beo electric SUV.

Elaris will also support 1. FC Union Berlin in the further professionalisation of women's football and will in future adorn the jerseys of the women's professional team in the Regionalliga Nordost.

"The cooperation between 1. FC Union Berlin and Elaris is a perfect symbiosis of two down-to-earth partners who strive for sustainability and are equally enthusiastic about e-mobility," said Lars Stevenson, CEO of Elaris AG, on the partnership. "Just like Union on the football pitch, we are entering the 'Champions League' of e-mobility as a new provider of e-cars. We are particularly proud to also be driving the development of the women's team, to achieving ambitious goals together and to move forward as a perfect team. That Elaris will now become part of the Union family is a special accolade for us. We want to seize the opportunity to fulfil our mission of bringing affordable as well as technically sophisticated vehicles to German roads."

"We are naturally delighted to welcome an innovative and modern company like Elaris to our side. The extensive commitment to both the men's and women's professional sectors is a strong sign that we greatly appreciate," said Jan Boysen, Managing Director Marketing and Sales at Union, explaining the collaboration with Elaris.
