Shotl News

This March you can catch us at major events throughout Europe and discover how Shotl is helping cities to revitalize public transit services .

In February, Shotl were invited to participate in the 3rd and final phase of the EU research project FABULOS (part of Horizon 2020). We entered this phase of the project alongside Sensible 4.

A new breed of transportation has revolutionized urban mobility in the last decade. Based on cutting-edge digital technology and backed by big money, on-demand upstarts have quickly become household names.

Munich Airport rolled out its new corporate shuttle service ShuttleMe which is based on Shotl’s on-demand mobility platform. This service represents a new and improved way for employees to move between multiple spaces at the airport site.

The Shotl team will be attending Move 2020 and with our own stand in the start-up village, we are looking forward to meeting with the most innovative and inspiring people

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) could be the one of the keys to breaking our addiction to the car. It’s being tested in several cities, but uptake varies greatly and there’s a lot of work to do before its full potential is realized.

On Wednesday the 27th of November we attended the Spazio Novecento in Rome where we received the Gold Award for Open Innovation.

Fully autonomous vehicles are finally starting to roll off the test tracks and onto the streets, and developers are realizing there’s more to providing transit services than just driving.

Our modern cities are becoming “knowledge economies”; Economies where products and services are produced through intellectual knowledge. Cities should function as hubs that encourage innovation.

We are excited to announce that Shotl have received the Mobility City Entrepreneur of the Year award.

As urban populations grow, city planners need sustainable mass transit solutions that save, but don’t cost, the Earth. Could Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) hold the key?

With increased reliability, it is reasonable for commuters to view their commute time as a credible window in which to get productive and gain perspective for the day ahead.

Providing frequent and cost-effective public transport in scattered residential areas is a challenge. But success stories do exist. Like our fully functional operation in the city of Vimercate, located in Italy’s northern Monza province.

Transport is changing and getting around is becoming increasingly more user-focussed. But, what impact does this all have on the already established modes of public transport within our cities?

November sees SHOTL showcasing at three of Europe’s most renowned Transportation and Smart-City events. Come join us out on the road where we’ll be rubbing shoulders with some of this year’s most celebrated innovators and disruptors.
