moovel showcases digital mobility solutions at Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona

As a Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform, moovel offers cities and transit authorities the opportunity to boost access to mobility and thus make it more attractive. A mobility app tailored specifically to the particular needs of a city contributes to this. In addition, with its on-demand ridesharing technology developed in-house, moovel also provides the perfect complement to public transportation in the city, which can be used as an additional support especially in the evening hours, for example in Los Angeles: since October 2018, app-based shared rides in Mercedes-Benz vehicles based on moovel on-demand technology have been available in the city centre of LA.

Another innovation from Daimler's wholly owned mobility subsidiary is the digital marketplace, which was launched in Berlin in September 2018 at InnoTrans, the world's leading international trade fair for transportation technology, and is now part of the product portfolio. The most important feature of moovel's new Software-as-a-Service solution is the flexible modeling of payment flows, which is particularly crucial for intermodal journeys.

The state-of-the-art marketplace solution is designed to help cities and transit authorities develop into MaaS providers. Another part of the moovel trade fair stand will be the presentation of the Fare Connect solution, a pilot project developed by moovel North America. Fare Connect combines the performance of moovel's proven mobile-ticketing software with the speed and simplicity of contactless technology, thereby further simplifying access to mobility.

The moovel Group is present in German cities such as Hamburg, Stuttgart, and Karlsruhe with its mobility solutions. In the US, moovel North America is the leading provider of mobile-ticketing applications for transit authorities.

"We have worked closely together with cities for many years. The Smart City Expo, seen as the world's largest event in this field, is the perfect spot to present our Mobility-as-a-Service platform. At moovel, 'Making Cities Smarter' means facilitating urban transformation and collectively creating the foundation for sustainable and intelligent mobility," said moovel Group CEO Daniela Gerd tom Markotten about moovel's presence at the trade fair in Barcelona.
