Shotl News

Shotl and Sensible 4 are adjusting our plans for this spring’s FABULOS autonomous driving pilot — one of the main self-driving events for us this year.

Covid-19 has brought the world to a grinding halt, affecting lives and businesses. But this enforced hiatus is also an opportunity to take stock, so we can be better prepared next time.

How exactly do our children see future transport? The Shotl founders Osvald and Gerard recently went to a local school to find out how a class of elementary students felt about transport.

The extraordinary measures set up to handle the coronavirus pandemic provide a view of what could happen with regards to battling the current climate crisis.

A number of cities are trialing different incentives to reduce car numbers. However, there is no ‘silver bullet’ and viable alternatives must be in place for initiatives to succeed.

As awareness of the climate crisis grows, so does scrutiny of the aviation industry. However, while many look to the skies for solutions, opportunities also exist on the ground to make airports more sustainable.

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.
