Why local fleets are the future of mobility?

Quality control is hard, very hard. Clean vehicles, the best drivers, fleet support… The list can go on and on. However the most important than anything else is that the future requires garages and shared supply.

Self driving vehicles will require garages

New city designs with more pedestrian space will force vehicles to be into constant movement and into underground charging spaces (garages). In an autonomous world and without drivers to keep the vehicles clean, those garages will be responsible for all vehicle maintenance.

Public service = accessibility

Even before autonomous vehicles we will require shared supply. We don’t want more vehicles on the streets. We want less of them but always available and in use 24/7.

Forced openness

Closed transport networks will be forced to give access to their suppliers for the benefit of the citizens of each city. The percentage of time a vehicle must be in use inside a city may even become a city law. Cars will not be welcomed unless they are always useful.

Why fleets must make their supply available now to stay relevant?

Right now many entrepreneurs and developers can develop something better than existing mobility solutions but they need the access to the millions of vehicles already out there. Local fleets have those vehicles available, but are not connected to the world.

Open Transport

Imagine that any business can offer global transport of people and parcels tapping into existing networks and existing fleets. Imagine what can be achieved.

Open Transport is making every vehicle available everywhere in one API.

We believe supply must be accessible as a public service.

Do it with us.
