Volvero
Come la shared mobility sta impattando e impatterà le nostre vite.
Volvero is built to be an Airbnb for vehicles. By allowing owners to share their vehicles with the drivers through a secure platform, we bring a significant social and environmental impact. Volvero is a game-changer in mobility as it targets several problems faced by society. People lack alternatives, as public transport is often unreliable, inflexible, or absent, especially in remote areas. It also can be dangerous which restricts people from moving, women and the young population particularly. Taxi, car rentals and dealers are expensive and not flexible. Urban areas are over congested, while privately owned vehicles remain unused 96% of the time. This, among other factors, makes self-ownership of cars not feasible. Volvero allows users to find a vehicle for any need. At the same time, owners are able to reduce their vehicle costs and ecological footprint. Volvero collects data to analyze driving behavior and improve the situation on the roads; it provides necessary information such as the performance and reputation of owners, drivers, and vehicles. Moreover, we offer unique insurance that covers drivers and all kinds of vehicles providing maximum security.
Volvero solves social and environmental issues, enhancing mobility and inclusion. We reduce pollution, optimize vehicle costs, and improve the situation on the roads. By leveraging mobility through all perspectives Volvero is believed to have a strong case for commercial growth.
Volvero aims at enhancing security on the roads. This is done by using data analytics that improves driving behavior; embedded in our app there is an AI algorithm that based on data coming from mobile phone sensors like gps, gyroscope and accelerometer understands how drivers used the vehicle and drove. We thus provide a driving score to reduce hazardous behavior and improve attention by discouraging usage of the phone. Knowing the effectiveness of the gamification process, we expect to reduce the number of car accidents and cases of misbehavior on the road. The same process is applied to grant users with credits for using the app. Credits can be spent in our partnership program at gas stations, insurance providers, mechanics, parking spaces, or highway tolls. Volvero is a game-changer in vehicle-sharing services as we offer full insurance for drivers and any kind of vehicles, including privately and commercially owned ones, in just one app, being the only service providing this feature worldwide.
Obiettivi
Divulgare i trend relativi ai cambiamenti nelle modalità di trasporto delle persone nell'ambito di uno stile di vita piu sostenibile.
Elementi di innovazione
Volvero is a game-changer of the market thanks to the technology innovation leaps. Volvero is the first startup that is leveraging advanced technologies matched with a car-sharing service. First of all, it offers the insurance policy that covers various types of vehicles (cars, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, vans, etc.) of private and commercial owners. Moreover, it uses technology for data analytics of drivers’ behaviors. The software embedded in the app is based on data produced by the sensors of the mobile phones of drivers (GPS, gyroscope and accelerometer).
Impatti / Risultati attesi
Volvero improves communities by addressing a range of social issues such as inequality, lack of security, driving behavior, obstacles to access to transportation. Our app reduces inequality between social layers providing the possibility of mobility to those who do not own a vehicle, eliminating the concept of being underprivileged if not owning one. Likewise, women and young people that feel threatened and in the absence of transportation alternatives, give up and stay at home, can now socialize, access healthcare, educational establishments, cultural sites which all contribute to the wellbeing of the society.
Fattibilità
Volvero charges a percentage on every transaction. Other secondary sources of revenue are generated from selling space on our App for advertising and premium services linked to the service.
Elementi di replicabilità
Volvero is a highly scalable technology only business. Replicability is perfect across geographies and secured through our 4 patents and collaboration with institutional players like EuropAssistance.
