This agreement brings together the strengths of the three partners and extends their expertise through the assessment of market opportunities and joint research on commercial, legal and regulatory issues related to mobility service offers in France and Japan. Since 2017, Groupe Renault has also offered a range of products designed for professional customers as part of on-demand transport: Karhoo brings together licensed taxi and chauffeur-driven car P fleets from around the world with transport and tourism operators to create global mobility solutions. Its Mobility Exchange platform offers simple integration options (API, SDK and white-label microsites) allowing partners to quickly offer taxi ordering in their web and mobile applications; the Group continues to support the development of iCabbi , a P publisher of taxi fleet management systems, which is now one of the world’s largest dispatch providers (leading positions in the United States, Canada, Ireland and in the corporate segment (>500 cars) in the United Kingdom (No. 2), with notably the acquisition of Original Software (Brazil) and Mobile Knowledge (Canada). iCabbi’s customers made 130 million trips over the last 12 months using the iCabbi system, used by over 80,000 taxis/chauffeur-driven cars; in France, in addition to its internal carpooling platform for P employees, Groupe Renault has joined forces with Klaxit , the leading carpooling app for commuters. Since 2014, Technocentre employees have been able to share their journeys directly using the app. This makes it easy for them to find new carpoolers and save money on their daily commute. More generally, Renault is working to improve the carpooling experience by studying interface solutions between carpooling operators, its connected vehicles and digital tools; in addition, through its MOBILIZE Invest investment company, P Renault supports ECOV, which works alongside local authorities to build spontaneous, dynamic carpooling lines that are accessible to all in suburban and rural areas; lastly, Alliance Ventures , Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Motors P Corporation’s investment fund created in January 2018, has also invested in Transit, a multi-modal application (MaaS) that enables users to choose the most appropriate mobility mode for a trip, and Coord, which facilitates the analysis, sharing and collection of data on “curbs,” in order to offer partners and cities solutions to better manage the different mobility services. Thinking about mobility challenges C. in sustainable cities The city of tomorrow will be innovative and adaptable while being respectful of the environment. The growth of the urban population comes with countless challenges: developing urban mobility while limiting pollution, providing solutions to climate change and for society’s ecological transition, optimizing water and energy management, improving the quality of life of people, contributing to social cohesion, designing, building and renovating buildings and neighborhoods. Groupe Renault contributes to collective thinking on sustainable mobility systems in cities, and particularly on mobility ecosystems. It is a partner of the LaVilleE+ led by Société Générale to support the creation of tomorrow’s towns and cities and make them human, inclusive and sustainable. LaVilleE+ is focusing on three differentiating aspects comprising impact, interaction through play and holisstic approach in with big public and private contractors currently shaping territorial development. Innovation stems from a holistic approach to city development acting systematically on the four pillars comprising it (citizenship, mobility, resources and property), thanks to the multi-skilled nature of an ecosystem of partners. INCIT-EV is a European test project for innovative charging solutions for electric vehicles. Its objective is to encourage the development of electric mobility by starting from understanding user expectations and developing appropriate charging technologies from there. The project, which runs from January 2020 to December 2023 (48 months), is divided into two phases: a study and preparation phase, then a so-called “demonstration” phase where seven technologies will be tested under real conditions, starting in the second half of 2022. Initiated and coordinated by Groupe Renault, the project, supported and financed by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, brings together 33 players and partners from a wide range of voluntarily diverse backgrounds (manufacturers, universities, institutes, cities, start-ups, SMEs), all experts in their field. Groupe Renault also sponsors a number of academic chairs that feed this thinking, such as the Urban Logistics Chair with Mines ParisTech, which since 2016 has been focused on inventing innovative and sustainable urban logistics models. Renault freely shares its expertise in this area via numerous thematic round-tables and seminars.
