With transportation on the edge of disruption, Daimler, the company that invented the automobile in 1886 and owns Mercedes-Benz, founded moovel to reinvent the concept of urban mobility. We work with transit agencies, transportation tech companies, and you to build products that simplify transportation in cities.
moovel apps help people use urban transportation in cities across the world. In Germany, moovel is the first app to enable booking and payment for rides, including public transit, directly through the app.
