Vulog, a leader in shared mobility software, has partnered with the Mexico franchise of Alamo Rent a Car to launch its first carsharing service.
Users will be able to instantly register using the Alamo Mexico Carshare app and, within minutes, access available cars in designated parking lots at local destinations, hotels, and airports. Vehicles can be picked up and dropped off at any station of the user’s choosing without the need to return to the same location.
Stations will initially be available in Cancun, with ambitions for growth to 36 cities across Mexico with 1,300 cars within the next five years.
Vulog’s technology powers 25 services in cities across five continents. This service in Cancun is the first to be powered by Vulog’s artificial intelligence mobility applied (AiMA) technology platform in Mexico, although it already serves many clients in the Americas, with several operations in the U.S. and Canada, and another in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The shared mobility movement is ultimately about reducing dependence on private vehicle ownership, and thereby mitigating congestion and pollution in cities.
The AiMA platform’s enhanced set of features is fuelled by Vulog’s data insight and artificial intelligence proficiency, developed over 12 years, and by the experience of 25 customer projects that powered 15 million journeys in 2018 alone. Other new features recently added to AiMA include improved predictive demand management, specific electric fleet management enhancements, and the integration of autonomous shared mobility capabilities.
In January, Vulog was included in the 2019 Global Cleantech 100, an annual guide to the leading companies and themes in sustainable innovation.
