The start point for the best source of fleet information |
A new app designed to help companies and their employees track their mobility for factors including carbon emissions has been launched by TMC.
The company said the Mobility iQ app would give users a '4C' score, relating to the cost, carbon, mobility steps (calories), and time (clock) per instance of travel.
TMC said the app sought to transform the way corporates and their employees searched, booked and paid for multi-modal ground transportation, and help users to travel more intelligently, more efficiently, more sustainably and more cost-effectively.
It gamifies the user's 4C score by benchmarking them to show areas that can be improved upon.
According to TMC, the app will help companies to meet carbon reduction targets.
TMC president of mobility Stuart Donnelly said: "For many years, I had this vision that people don't know what they don't know until they know, so how can we change behaviours and better manage our mobility costs and our mobility footprint?
"So many people own cars and they simply sit unused 95% of the time and post-covid with hybrid working, the situation has worsened. Yet people are being encouraged to replace their diesel cars and get brand new electric cars.
"We need to have a smart watch or home energy meter for our car that tells us how much our mobility costs for every minute we use it, or don't use it, as it still costs money when not used.
"We should compare this to what the alternative is and how much could you save on cost and carbon, and how much extra exercise you would get? Well that's what Mobility iQ will do for you."
The app can track modes of travel including journeys by car, walking, cycling, bus, and train.
The currently-announced capabilities feature in the phase one launch of the app, with phase two set to arrive early in Q2.
