MaaS pioneer moovel launches mobility project with Daimler Financial Services

Daniela Gerd tom Markotten, chief executive officer of moovel Group, said: “More companies want to offer their employees solutions that go beyond a company car and rely on the flexibility of Mobility-as-a-Service.

“Unlike a company ticket, our offer can be used for different means of transport. The mobility budget is a convenient way for employers to provide employees with a wide range of transportation options to meet their travel needs. We’ve received a lot of interest from companies to test out this new sustainable mobility solution.”

Moovel Group is one of the five businesses created by the merger of BMW and Daimler’s mobility services last year and includes Seattle-based ReachNow. The moovel Group is expected to be renamed Reach Now later this year.

A total of 21 cities and 6.7 million people use moovel’s services globally and in the first quarter of 2019 it processed 7.7 million transactions through its apps, representing a 19% year-on-year rise.

Moovel is a Mobility-as-a-Service pioneer, providing access to various mobility options and mobile ticketing for millions of passengers. ReachNow is the first company to offer both car-sharing and ride-hailing in an app in Seattle and Portland, USA.
