Careem has acquired Commut, the bus-shuttle service app

Careem has acquired Commut, the Hyderabad-based mass transportation app.

As the region’s only tech unicorn, we are always looking to invest in new technologies and high-calibre people to help solve complex local problems. And mass transportation is one of the biggest issues facing cities in the Greater Middle East.

Improving the quality and availability of mass transportation will help to create affordable transport options that can be a catalyst for moving cities forward, therefore we were interested in Commut.

Founded by six IIIT Hyderabad graduates, the tech-driven bus shuttle service that has been operating in Hyderabad since November 2015. To date, they’ve made over 750,000 trips within more than 100 existing routes and are the third-largest transportation app in India.

Backed by UK-Based Shell-Foundation and 50K Ventures, Commut served over 70,000 customers and onboarded 400 driver-partners. Now that Commut has joined Careem, their local operations – including its customers a..

Mercedes-Benz Vans and BASF agree on cooperation in mobility – Starting with Corporate Shuttle by ViaVan

20.

September 2018

Stuttgart

Mercedes-Benz Vans and BASF plan to collaborate on mobility topics and work together to forge ahead with innovations. The two companies are starting their cooperation with the optimisation of individual mobility at BASF’s plant in Ludwigshafen, where they will shortly introduce an on-demand ridesharing system. Beyond individual transport on the factory premises, the partners also want to test solutions in electric mobility, digitalisation and autonomous driving.
The on-demand ridesharing system features vans that employees and guests can order for travel around the BASF site. The system runs via an app that determines optimum vehicle routes, and is intended to augment the existing timetabled bus services with the aim of reducing individual traffic on the site while simultaneously improving mobility.
The service will be operated and provided by ViaVan, a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz Vans and US based Startup Via. The intelligent algorithm developed by Via makes it possible to combine trips to transport passengers with the same or similar destinations together without tedious detours and delays. ViaVan is already operating in Amsterdam, London and Berlin, with other European cities set to follow. The BASF plant in Ludwigshafen is the first industrial site to introduce this system.
“The cooperation with BASF is a further milestone in our adVANce future initiative”, says Volker Mornhinweg, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans. “It supports the rapid development of new mobility solutions – in the reality of everyday operations and in close collaboration with our partners and customers. Both, BASF and Mercedes-Benz Vans embrace innovation and change – ideal prerequisites for close dialogue and joint, ambitious projects. We are focusing initially on the optimisation of factory-site traffic – but that is just the start. With our solutions for shared and, in future, autonomous mobility, we will play a role in ensuring all BASF employees arrive at their destinations quickly, conveniently, safely and sustainably.”
Dr. Uwe Liebelt, President BASF European Site & Network Management and General Manager of the Ludwigshafen plant, says: “I’m delighted we have secured a partner as strong and innovative as Daimler for this project. We are embarking upon a development phase over several years starting with the ViaVan ridesharing service, which will focus on providing forward-looking mobility solutions for our employees. This will improve working conditions for our people and is very much in keeping with our “Zukunftsbild Werk Ludwigshafen” (Vision for the Ludwigshafen Site) project, namely to set an example in safety, productivity and innovation.”

Daimler and its Chinese partner BYD continuously invest in DENZA product development for China’s New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market

New DENZA electric vehicle brings a refreshed exterior design and extended range of around 500 kilometers

Locally sourced and produced, DENZA brand combines Daimler’s vehicle architecture expertise with BYD’s leading battery technology

Stuttgart / Shenzhen – Daimler and BYD Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. today launched the new DENZA 500 battery electric vehicle from their joint venture, Shenzhen DENZA New Energy Automotive Co., Ltd. Engineered and produced in and for China, the new DENZA 500 offers Chinese customers a comprehensive upgrade through a refreshed exterior design and extended electric range. The DENZA model combines Daimler’s vehicle architecture expertise and advanced safety engineering with BYD’s leading advantages in battery technology. Through continuous investment in DENZA product development, Daimler is dedicated to contributing to the further development of electric mobility in China.

The DENZA 500 adopts a refreshed and unique exterior design, featuring “tiger eye” LED headlights and rippling LED taillights, while inside sees a larger 9-inch touchscreen.

Upgraded connectivity services include charging solutions and the DENZA smartphone application. Via the DENZA application, WeChat account, or car navigation system, DENZA owners can quickly locate over 112,000 charging piles across the country. A new battery and additional weight reductions allow increased energy efficiency, providing an extended range of around 500 km.
