Ride pooling

In Orlando, the expansion of an autonomous fleet for public transport begins. The first trips are scheduled for 2026.

Autonomous shuttles should soon belong to Oslo's regular cityscape. The transportation authority Ruter and the operator Holo have been pushing the topic forward for years. Now they are bringing in a partner with the Hamburg-based mobility company MOIA that combines its own vehicle design, software, and operating competence. From spring 2026, self-driving ID. Buzz vehicles are to be in regular service in the capital.

With "AmiGo", PostAuto will begin testing automated, electric, on-demand vehicles from 2025. The concept resembles taxi- and ride-pooling services—but is part of public transport. For the industry, the project could serve as a test case for future mobility services.

"Dalli" – according to Duden, "quickly, hurry up". In the Oder-Spree district, not far from Frankfurt (Oder), the "Dalli" on-call bus has been running since April 2022 – a demand-driven on-demand service that forces local taxi operators to rethink.

After Moia's withdrawal, the taxi industry is calling for clear political measures to protect local passenger transport. Competition from international ride-hailing services is growing – now the city of Hanover is also responsible.

The sale of electric-powered vehicles has significantly declined in Germany. According to international car experts, models with car subscriptions have a great, yet untapped potential that could drive Germany's environmentally friendly mobility forward.
