As a minority shareholder, Daimler AG is investing in the largest ridesharing network in the world, GmbH’s carpooling.com, which transports over one million people a month across Europe. In fact, they are already working on their ‘moovel’ mobility platform as a pilot project.
At carpooling.com, drivers and passengers link up together online, planning special trips or their daily commutes. Daimler also provides a car sharing service of its own, car2go - with over 130,000 customers and growing ever more successfully.
"As a leading automotive player, Daimler will serve as a strong partner in further establishing the role of modern carpooling in Europe and overseas. We will be utilizing the new investment to further improve our offerings, broaden our customer service and make carpooling available to even more users worldwide," says Markus Barniikel, carpooling.com CEO.
