Valerian and his emmy sharing co-founder Alexander pioneered e-moped sharing in Germany in 2015, at a time when no one was really about it. (The only other vehicle-sharing solution on the market was Car2Go.)

What started as an idea conceived at a barbecue with friends turned into Germany’s leading moped-sharing company with immediately recognizable red-orange vehicles.

In this special episode, Valerian takes us through emmy’s founding story, how they are improving operational excellence, why it's crucial that a customer opens the emmy app first, and why 100 meters are a super critical distance.

Susan is a professor of civil and environmental engineering and
co-director of the transportation sustainability research
center at the University Berkely. She was among the first to observe, research, and write about changing dynamics in shared mobility.

We talked to her about the development of whether there will be a separation between public and private transport in the future, about how to create a healthy mobility ecosystem with complementarity and less competition, and how public transport operators innovate.

Since 2017, Michael has been working at ioki on the digitalization of public transport and its seamless connection to existing systems, as well as the integration of new forms of mobility.
On-demand shuttles are increasingly being integrated into public transport. Michael explains to us why this makes sense, how it works and what impact autonomous vehicles will have on current transport operations.
