Ride: The Urban Mobility Podcast

It’s here! Your first RIDE of 2024. Ride: The Urban Mobility Podcast isn’t an automotive podcast, but this episode is all about cars. More specifically, it’s about NOT buying a car: in Episode 43, we explore the business of #carsharing, with Oz Choudhri, head of mobility solutions at Enterprise Mobility, and Oliver Mackprang, CEO of Berlin-based MILES. Link to full episode: https://lnkd.in/eNZSxXg5 We all know the story: despite growing #congestion on our roads, cars spend most of the day parked. And they’re expensive to own and run; for many people, a car is the second-largest financial commitment after their house or home. So what if we could use cars when we need them, leaving the #ownership to someone else, that someone else being a car club or a car-sharing operator happy to assume the responsibility for the total cost of ownership of these high value assets. In this episode we discuss: 🚗 The differences between #carclub, #carsharing, #carleasing, and #carrental 👉 The challenges and opportunities of #freefloating and #stationbased or #backtobase business models 🌏 How car-sharing fits into the wider #mobilityecosystem 💲 Why car-sharing may be an attractive option for businesses, taking away the burden of #fleetmanagement, and helping with metrics such as #corporatesocialresponsibility (#CSR) and #environmentsocialgovernance (#ESG).

With the UK’s Secretary of State for Transport discussing the potential for some form of #automatedvehicle #AV technology to be ‘possible’ on some #UK roads by the end of 2026, why not check out the latest episode of Ride: The Urban Mobility Podcast which is all about how #autonomousvehicles are already being used to haul #freight in the UK, the #USA, and elsewhere.

The last Ride of the year is here! In Episode 42 of Ride: The Urban Mobility Podcast, out now, Martin Kahl and guest co-host Lukas Neckermann chat to Daniel Goff of Kodiak and Mark Preston from StreetDrone about the use of #autonomousvehicle technology in #firstmile, #lastmile, and #longhaul #freight and #logistics. Link to Episode 42: https://lnkd.in/eJVwPAvz StreetDrone develops technology for #autonomouslogistics applications, with #vehicles using its solutions for first- and last-mile short-distance #heavyload #haulage on private and off-highway roads in #industrialcompounds such as #ports, notably the #PortofRotterdam and factories, such as Nissan Motor Corporation's Sunderland car factory. It's from Kodiak Robotics that we get the 18,000-mile reference in the title; the "Kodiak Driver" enables #autonomous long-haul highway driving for #Class8 trucks - that is, US #bigrig 18 wheelers. And it does this on an 18,000-mile network of highways that covers almost a fifth of the #US #interstate system, taking in 14 states and spanning four time zones.

When it comes to #commercialvehicle #electrification, there's a regulatory necessity for #truck and #CV makers to transition to #electricvehicles, and for #fleets to operate #EVs - but there are also considerable benefits for the #truckdrivers themselves, says Inderveer Singh, founder & CEO of EVage Motors.
