C40 2019
Copenhagen, 10-11/10/2019

First ride for VAIMOO, the vehicle-sharing system designed to revolutionize the urban mobility of the future.

Based on a flexible and multi-vehicle platform, VAIMOO uses the potential of IoT technologies to offer more efficient, safe and user-friendly smart mobility services. The system has been presented during the C40 World Mayor Summit 2019, the largest climate summit involving mayors and leaders from 96 cities across the world, this year held in Copenhagen.

The Danish capital, international centre for green mobility, will be the first city to adopt the platform for its e-bike fleets, thanks to the partnership signed with Bycyklen, the main operator of the bike-sharing scheme in Copenhagen.

The first phase of the agreement sees the integration of the innovative features developed by the Italian company with the Bycyklen system (with 400 thousand active users). Starting from 2020, the current fleet of 2,000 e-bikes will be replaced by the new generation bicycles of VAIMOO.

Matteo Pertosa, Board of Directors at MERMEC (VAIMOO), claimed: ‘Sustainable mobility is the key factor in the development of Smart Cities. In future, commuting will become more and more a shared activity that will not require the possession of a vehicle. To achieve this ecosystem, however, we need integrated mobility systems to generate high added value for the communities.’
