FUTURE MOBILITY: AN INDUSTRY IN TRANSFORMATION1

Future mobility: An industry in transformation.


Hardly any other industry is currently undergoing such a transformation as the mobility sector. The future of mobility is not merely the subject of lively debate in the media. Technological developments and the demand for eco-friendly and sustainable transport alternatives are driving the enormous changes in the mobility industry and are creating new business models. The IDnow report provides an overview.

How will people get from A to B in the future? Will inner cities soon be

dominated by e-scooters instead of cars? Will autonomous taxis bring us to our

destination? These are all questions that concern not just cities and regions but,

above all, the automotive industry.

Management consultancy Roland Berger identified four decisive megatrends; new mobility services, autonomous driving, digitization and electrification.

These trends have a massive impact on our understanding of mobility and

present the classic automotive industry, in particular, with new challenges but

also with opportunities: The demand for vehicles designed specifically for

mobility services is growing and, unlike in the past, the focus is specifically on

the needs of passengers rather than the drivers.

According to Bitkom, the shift towards electromobility, in particular, is leading

to greater competition, as the barriers to market entry are falling significantly. An

electric car is much easier to design than a vehicle with a combustion engine, drive

train, and exhaust system. As a result, new players, for instance those from the

digital sector, are developing into serious competitors for the established providers.


Use instead of own.

Vehicle use will change significantly. While the current focus is on individual transport and ownership, new concepts and services will come into the limelight in the upcoming years. In its study “Five trends transforming the Automotive Industry”, the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) concluded that by 2030 one in three kilometers driven could be accounted for by car-sharing concepts.

At present, less than 1 percent of all journeys in Europe are made using car-

sharing services, but PwC expects fully automated cars with Level 4 approval

for autonomous driving to enter the market in 2022. These will initially be aimed

primarily at the car-sharing market and will give it an enormous boost, as the

human cost factor is eliminated.

HIGH AUTOMATION

The vehicle is capable of steering, braking, accelerating, monitoring the environment

and roadway as well as responding to events, determining when to change lanes,

turn, and use signals. The driver is able to take control but doesn’t have to.

COMPLETE AUTOMATION

This level of autonomous driving requires absolutely no human attention. There is no need

for pedals, brakes, or a steering wheel, as the autonomous vehicle system controls all

critical tasks, monitoring of the environment and identification of unique driving conditions.

The 5 Levels of Autonomous Driving

DRIVER ASSISTANCE

The driver is in full control of the vehicle, but there are some assisting functions like

cruise control.

PARTIAL AUTOMATION

The vehicle can assist with steering or acceleration functions, but the driver must

always be ready to take control.

CONDITIONAL AUTOMATION

The vehicle itself controls all monitoring of the environment. The driver may temporarily

turn away from the driving task, but must be able to take control on short notice.


This development will be driven primarily by a young,

technophile generation that attaches importance to

comfortable and environmentally-friendly mobility

alternatives.

Technological innovations shape the everyday lives of the

members of this generation and a sustainable and healthy

lifestyle is important to them. Cars are pragmatically seen

purely as a means of transport; in generations Y and Z, they

lose their significance as status symbols. While individual

transport will remain important in rural areas, a major shift

towards new mobility solutions can be expected in urban

areas. The consultants are certain that intermodal passenger

transport (i.e., the use of cars in conjunction with public

transport) will become increasingly widespread, especially in

cities. Both car-sharing and ride-hailing services will become

established – the motto is “use instead of own”. However,

not just the young, tech-oriented generation will benefit

from altered mobility concepts. Easier market access will

also benefit physically handicapped people or those who do

not have a driving license.

PwC assumes that by 2030, 40 percent of all passenger-kilometers will be driven

by autonomous cars and the total number of passenger-kilometers will increase

significantly. At the same time, the total number of vehicles will decrease.

Nevertheless, this is a huge opportunity for automotive suppliers: Although

the number of vehicles will fall, shared services will ensure far better vehicle

utilization. As a result of almost constant usage, cars will have to be replaced

much more frequently in the future – which will ultimately lead to rising sales.

PwC assumes that by 2030, 40 percent of all passenger-kilometers will be driven by autonomous cars.


Together with these innovative companies, IDnow has found a simple,

fast solution to bring mobility models into the digital age.

As is so often the case, this major change represents both a challenge and an

opportunity. The industry itself must remain mobile: Those who identify trends

early and act accordingly have a clear advantage.

New technologies such as AI-supported identity verification help optimize

processes and ensure maximum user-friendliness – while meeting all KYC (know-

your-customer) requirements.

Digitization in public transport.

Online ID verification as a success factor for the mobility platform of the Rhein-Main Transport Association (Verkehrsverbund).

The importance of a sustainable and climate-friendly mobility offering in both

urban and rural areas has steadily increased in recent years and has reached the

center of the transport policy of the State of Hessen and the Federal Republic

of Germany. The so-called traffic turnaround is on everyone’s lips, and the

reduction of environmental pollution is absolutely necessary. At the same time,

thanks to digitization, the widespread use of smartphones and the mobile

Internet, the demands and expectations of customers are growing. Customers

have to be in the spotlight 24/7: they want to receive up-to-date information

anytime, anywhere and ideally also want to be mobile. The Rhein-Main

Verkehrsverbund (RMV) operates in the middle of these expectations and must

offer tailor-made solutions and answers.


This is precisely where RMV, as an innovation driver and pioneer in the

public transport sector, comes into play and, as one of the largest transport

associations, is committed to developing a mobility platform. In the future, it will

no longer be just bus and rail. Open, flexible and modern, the platform to be

launched at the end of 2020 intends to offer customers not only the traditional

means of transport, but also local and regional mobility providers from cars,

bikes, eScooters and ridesharing, as well as taxis. A successful RMV app will offer

the entire service chain: information - booking - payment - travel with just one

registration and billing. RMV, as a broker of complementary mobility options,

is thus continuously developing and expanding its role as a strong partner in

the mobility network. In order to realize the new offering and win over partners

to participate in the platform, reliable and robust registration is the first step.

With its wealth of experience with RMV-HandyTicket, RMV-TicketShop, and its

personalization of meinRMV, RMV has already created an excellent basis. When

considering the platform, it quickly became clear that, among other things, the

identity card and driving license test would be the key to participation for the

partners. For this reason, in the course of a tender, RMV found a trustworthy,

professional provider in IDnow, which is active in various industries.

With IDnow we were able to take a big step in the right direction. The technical implementation of their two solutions Auto- and VideoIdent was flawless and our customers can look forward to a fully automated ID check. We are curious about how the new offering will be received”.


The Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund (RMV) is one of the largest German transport

associations. It coordinates and organizes regional bus and rail transport over an

area of around 14,000 square kilometers. Approximately 5 million people live in

the area covered by the network, or 6.7 million if you include the inhabitants of

the transitional tariff zones.

The transport association was launched in 1995 and transports 788 million

passengers annually. That is around 2.5 million per working day.

Since 2009, Markus Huber (50) has been Head of Innovation and New Business

Sectors at Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund GmbH (RMV), focusing on the

development of information, ticketing and value-added services for e- and

m-commerce. Together with his team, he develops ideas and business models

for the introduction and operation of new products and services in the field of

public transport and mobility.

Till Sommerfeld (36) works for Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund

GmbH (RMV) in the area of innovation and new business

sectors. His responsibilities include the management of

research and development projects with a focus on inter-

and multimodality and electric mobility. He is also involved

in the sustainable development of the mobile and digital

RMV sales and information channels and the strategic

development of the innovation and mobility network. He is

the project coordinator of the intermodal information and

development of the RMV mobility platform.

The transport association was launched in 1995 and transports 788 million passengers annually. That is around 2.5 million per working day.


Car with a subscription.

Cluno is a new, flexible mobility concept: the digital car subscription. A car subscription is suitable for anyone who wants to be mobile with their own car.

Cluno thinks about all processes involving the car in a completely digital and

innovative way. The company helps customers, depending on their current living

situation and needs, to find the right type of mobility in an uncomplicated way and

thus becomes a permanent mobility partner. Cluno customers simply book their

car online or via the app and pay a fixed monthly package price, which includes all

costs except refueling. After six months of minimum running time per vehicle, they

can change cars, pause or terminate their usage.

The company was founded by Christina Polleti, Nico Polleti, and Andreas

Schuierer. The three founders have many years of experience in the automotive

and Internet industry. Cluno is supported by leading venture capital investors

such as Valar Ventures, Acton Capital Partners and Atlantic Labs.


Micro-mobility for more sustainable cities.

The term micro-mobility is used to describe electrically powered miniature vehicles such as electric bicycles or e-scooters. They are used primarily in cities as alternatives to conventional means of transport. And business is booming: According to a recent study by McKinsey, by 2030, these offers should generate sales of up to 150 billion dollars in Europe and as much as 500 billion dollars worldwide.

In 10 years, over 10 percent of the kilometers traveled could be covered via

micro-mobility offers – which would lead to savings of 80,000 tons of CO2

emissions in Munich alone. The interest is clearly there: 77 percent of those

surveyed by McKinsey said that they could imagine making the daily commute to

work with an electric scooter.

TIER Mobility was founded in 2018 and now has over 470 employees. The

pioneer in the field of micro-mobility is now active in over 57 cities in eleven

countries and has secured financing of over 100 million dollars - the highest

financing round ever for a European provider in the field of micro-mobility.

TIER Mobility aims to change mobility in our cities for the better with a

groundbreaking new concept and therefore works together with cities, public

transport companies and communities. With a fleet of electric scooters, TIER

Mobility offers its users complete independence to move around the city in

a relaxed and affordable way without harming the environment. A new, much

more conscious way to commute!


The company itself sets a good example: since January 2020,

TIER Mobility has been completely climate neutral. The micro-

mobility top dog not only includes the emissions generated by

charging the e-scooters in its calculations, but also all emissions

from production, operation and transport. The commitment

to climate neutrality not only helps the environment, but also

secures a path to a sustainable future.

TIER Mobility has more than 5,000 e-scooters, including

charging infrastructure. To ensure that users have a proper

and valid driving license, the Berlin-based start-up is working

together with IDnow. With the help of AutoIdent, the document

can be checked in real-time.


Fully automated AI-based identity verification for the Now Economy.


In the mobility of the future, the focus is on user-friendliness and rapid availability. Platforms such as RMV’s impressively demonstrate how isolated solutions can be dismantled to create an optimal user experience.

Intuitive AI-driven solutions such as IDnow AutoIdent help design the user

experience for the Now Economy and keep the processes completely digital and

automated. Especially the young, technophile generation wants all services to be

easily reachable and mobile-optimized via smartphone – without having to wait.

Real-time identity verification meets these expectations while fully complying

with KYC requirements.
