Driving sustainability through mobility

Tune in to our podcast for an inside look at the car sharing industry, from the leaders of Volvo Car Mobility.

When the team at Volvo Car Mobility set out to create a city-wide car sharing service, they started with a blank slate. They first considered the factors that would lead to maximum value for customers, community and sustainability, and went on to research just how far-reaching the effects of car sharing might be.

Join Bodil Eriksson and Steinar Danielsen of Volvo Car Mobility, and Per Holmblad and Rebecca Johansson from Capgemini Invent as they discuss with show host Ollie Judge, the best way to build a car sharing system. And, explore the benefits of car sharing – both direct and indirect.

For individuals, high on the list are savings, and the increase in mobility for people who cannot, or choose not to, purchase a car. Cities benefit most from a reduction in congestion and parking spaces. There are unexpected benefits too, from parks and water usage to public transportation.

However, questions remain about usability. What do customers value most? How can the user’s journey be made as simple as possible? Listen to our guests as they examine how a car-sharing product changed the way Stockholm was able to think about the space in their city and what the future of sustainability may look like.
