(Stormarn, November 18, 2020) Environmentally friendly shuttle service powered by ioki and Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein GmbH (VHH) strengthens public transport in the Stormarn region • Mobility analysis by ioki shows: on-demand offer improves commuter’s everyday mobility • Region Brunsbek/Lütjensee/Trittau will be better connected within the scope of a funding project • Fleet of four electric vehicles to start in December
Looking at our society from a above perspective without any prior knowledge, it seems as if the idea of a planet with endless resources has strongly manifested itself in the minds of people. A prime example of this way of thinking is the current use of motorised individual transport. If I want to drive, I have a seat in my car, fill up the tank, fasten my seat belt, press the accelerator and drive off. This way of thinking is dangerous. Motorised individual transport requires that resources are consumed – for a car that weighs 1.5 tonnes on average, that means about 70 tonnes of material only in production. In addition, the car pollutes the environment with every use and takes up too much space, especially in large cities.
(Hamburg, November 11, 2020) Shuttle-service ioki Hamburg to be extended in 2021 • 400,000 passengers and 1.4 million travelled kilometers since the kickoff of the project • Electric vehicles saved over 250 tons of CO2 • On-demand service improves barrier-free mobility
(Ahrensburg, Oktober 22, 2020) Mobility service tried and tested in Hamburg starts in the surrounding area • Mobility analysis by DB subsidiary ioki for the Ahrensburg region shows great potential of an on-demand service • Shuttle fleet with five electric vehicles rolls from December
Prof. Peter Eckart studied product design at the Bergische Universität GHS Wuppertal and later at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg. In 2000, he founded the design studio unit-design, Frankfurt, Bern, together with Bernd Hilpert, with whom he also works for the Deutsche Bahn. Since 2000 Peter Eckart has been Professor of Integrative Design at the HfG Offenbach and since 2011 Vice President of the University. His central research field is mobility design. Since 2018, he has been leading the interdisciplinary LOEWE research project with Prof. Dr. Kai Vöckler in the fields of urban and transport planning, social science mobility research, multimedia technologies and the design entitled project-mo.de, which focuses on the role of design in changing mobility behaviour.
(Darmstadt, October 12, 2020) HeinerLiner on-demand shuttle service to start in spring 2021 • Flexible offer closes gaps in public transport • Emission-free and accessible shuttles are used
(Hamburg, September 25, 2020) Goal: Attractive stations and efficient local public transport • Digital S-Bahn, shuttle service ioki and Hamburg Box already on the way • Dammtor station as gateway to the ITS World Congress 2021
Fleet management follows social and economic trends: New forms of work, digitization and the shift in values towards a greater understanding of sustainability are having an impact on the design of company-organized mobility. But what does this constant change in mobility structures mean for companies and where are the opportunities?
Rural areas are still lagging in terms of sustainable and needs-based mobility solutions. However, digitization is bringing existing concepts of flexible forms of operation such as call-gathering taxis and call-line buses back to life, as they can make a profitable contribution to the traffic turnaround.
