The Future of Everyday Transportation
The Urban Mobility-on-Demand System is based on:
- collapsible electric vehicles
- shared-use "one-way rental" system
- advanced networking and fleet management technologies
It dramatically reduces the traffic congestion, fossil fuel consumption, carbon emissions, noise, air pollution and parking problems which plague modern urban transportation.
The Concept:
MoD is a quiet revloution in how we think about moving around.
Transportation in most cities is over-congested: too many large vehicles with too few passengers,
gridlock, no parking, unpredictable schedules, bad air, noise, lost time
Parking is expensive, hard to find, and a lot of fuel goes up in smoke while you search for a space
Most vehicles are parked much more of the time than they are in motion.
The MoD Flip:
Our vehicles are space-efficient and carry one or two passengers.
Our vehicles are intended to be in motion most of the time, not parked. But because they are so small, you can park many more of them in the same space. This means, more vehicle availability for more people, but using much less fuel, space, and time.
Sustainability: cleaner, quieter, healthier, and consuming much less energy
U-Mode provides vehicles and services to improve how we live and work: Right-sized vehicles used the right way.
