Shared mobility is one of the great hopes for sustainable transport. Privately-owned vehicles are notoriously wasteful, mostly sitting idle. Advances in digital technology and the rise of the smartphone have opened the potential to vastly improve the utilization of assets, delivering profits to savvy companies and cheaper, more convenient, mobility to consumers. Alexander Gmelin, CPO of Invers, explains how the German company is laying the foundations of a shared mobility platform.
Automated car sharingÂ
Our company history has it that the founder Uwe Latsch, now CTO, started the company so that he could visit his girlfriendâs parents in the countryside. He used his bike to get around town and couldnât see the logic of buying a car just for the odd trip to the country. As one of the pioneers of carsharing, Uwe dedicated himself to building the technology that would automate vehicle sharing.
