What is… New Mobility?
«New Mobility» is often referred to as «smart mobility» and is a collective term for many innovations relating to technology and mobility.

Transporte público adaptado a las personas mayores: ¿Cómo debe ser un transporte público adaptado a la edad?
La población europea envejece. En 2019, más de una quinta parte (20,3%) de la población de la UE-27 tenía al menos 65 años. Y la tendencia sigue en aumento. El cambio demográfico es un reto para el transporte público, pero también puede ser una oportunidad de crecimiento con una oferta de movilidad personalizada para las personas de mayor edad. Al fin y al cabo, si las personas de mayor edad ya no conducen, dependen cada vez más del transporte público para seguir participando activamente en la vida social.

What is … a Mobility Hub?
Mobility Hubs, also known as Mobility stations, are publicly accessible locations where various modes of transport and sharing services converge. These can be S-Bahn (suburban train) and subway stations in an urban context, or even a bus stop in the countryside where rental bikes are available or important bus routes intersect. At these stations, people can easily switch from one mode of transport to another. Mobility hubs promote efficient and sustainable mobility by offering various mobility services, otherwise known as Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS). The concept can be expanded from a simple bus stop to large Mobility Hubs, for example, with a combination of on-demand transport, car sharing stations, or e-scooters.
Ridepooling in Transport Planning
Demand-responsive transport based on the ridepooling concept is on everyone’s lips and has long been an important pillar of individual, public transport. Data-based transport planning is needed to realise the full potential of on-demand mobility.

Corporate Mobility in 2023: flexible solutions instead of classic company transport or company cars
For a long time, the company car was considered the non-plus-ultra and was often the only mobility offer employees could expect from their employer. In 2023, more flexible mobility solutions such as digital demand-responsive company transport, job bikes and mobility budgets are gaining ground. Rising energy prices, stricter environmental and climate protection regulations as well as greater sustainability awareness among employees are also contributing to the need for companies to rethink their corporate mobility management.
