Studying business helps with my intriguing thoughts , as I can understand so many aspects of the business world. Recently, Yulu sparked my interest and I performed a SWOT analysis on it. Strengths One of the most important aspects nowadays where climate change is a major concern, is sustainability. Anything sustainable and environmentally friendly is perceived as good to the consumers. Yulu is the result of people wanting cheaper and more sustainable solutions. It promotes an eco-friendly lifestyle. Yulu also had the first-mover advantage ensuring quick success at a time when electric vehicles were rare. Yulu was one of the first companies to offer dockless bike rentals in India, establishing brand recognition and a customer base. Convenience is another priority of Yulu. Yulu helps to effortlessly travel small distances cost-efficiently, and it’s eco-friendly too. Yulu offers affordable pricing which makes it accessible to everyone. Due to its wide coverage in various cities, it’s well-known among people and is a fun activity to do among friends. It’s utility ranges from leisure time to convenient travel. Yulu also has partnered with delivery companies like Zepto to ensure quick and eco friendly deliveries. Opportunities Yulu has a lot of potential as the Electric vehicles market has started to bloom. It has already started selling electric vehicles. Collaboration with firms offers immense success as these e-scooters can be used inside campuses, big housing societies, large spaces, amusement parks and with numerous delivery partners. It collaborates with big corporate giants to expand its market and expand it’s e-vehicles in tier 2 and 3 cities. The application can become user friendly and many improvements can be made with the consumer data. Weaknesses Yulu bikes are not readily available in all the parts of city, making it difficult for customers to park their vehicles. Moreover, Yulu’s success depends on its ability to maintain and expand its infrastructure. First user experience can be impacted due to improper functioning of even one vehicle. Furthermore, there have been concerns about safety related to improper parking, reckless riding, and lack of dedicated lanes for cyclists, license and age of the driver add to the traffic and legal problems. There is no proper guarantee that Yulu would be successful in some cities, as the demographic factors play an important role in whether the service will be used. Threats Government regulations pertaining to safety, parking and license can hinder Yulu’s operations. Yulu is not a very important commodity for many, hence it has a high income elastic demand, although its overall affordability provides a cushion. Yulu is susceptible to economic changes, like inflation. #yulu #yulubikes #sustainable #gogreen #ebikes #swot #swotanalysis

"The figures are better than expected --- 25% less car traffic and 36% more bicycles --- the centre is #quieter and more #pleasant, with neighbourhoods and catering industry that benefit from this" - As per the name of the Brussels mobility plan, this was indeed a #GoodMove - "Our goal was more pleasant, attractive and safer streets, with mobility as a lever to achieve this. We are succeeding in our goal, the #modalshift is going fast” More #qualityoflife results to come in a study later this year but for some of us, these early results are all we need to, once again, know that a less traffic-oriented city centre with more people choosing #sustainable modes is a more #peoplecentred place, providing a higher quality of life. #boldmoves #sustainablemobility #peoplefirst #transportation #mobilityforesight Kind regards, Dale Principal, Mobility Foresight

Cities in India must move towards green mobility to provide clean,sustainable and green transport .🔋🚎🚌 goals of green mobility is as follows. • To avoid excessive use of motor vehicles. • To shift focus from unsustainable modes of travel to more sustainable means i.e. to increase use of green transport. • To integrate various transportation modes in the city and to innovate new transport modes such as rapid transit bus, public bicycles, bicycle rickshaws, e-cars, hydrogen cars etc. • To encourage use of public transport and discourage use of private transport. Examples of Green mobility implementations. ➨Bus rapid transit in Indore,Madhya Pradesh and Ahmedabad, Gujarat, INDIA: This innovative concept makes use of buses and provide metro like service to the people. The system reduces pollution to greater extent. ➨Freiburg city in Germany: The city is famous for use of bicycles than bikes. It also has extensive tram network and provides priorities to the pedestrians. It makes living without a car very easy. Benefits Or Advantages Of Green Mobility Following are the benefits or advantages of Green Mobility: ➨It helps to ease traffic congestion, to improve air quality and to optimize transport networks. ➨It makes transport most efficient and environmental friendly. This makes businesses to attract employees and makes goods delivery smooth. ➨As the system reduces CO2 emission and makes clean air atmosphere. It produces less noise. Hence it increases quality of life and makes cities places to live in. ➨It makes cities safer for pedestrians and cyclists. ➨It generates opportunities for the electronic industry which include electronic components such as high power IGBTs, MOSFETS, EEPROM memories, protection devices, voltage regulators and other ICs. ➨Passengers can make use of afforable collective transport and shared car. The concept encourages travel on foot and by bicycles. As a result, green mobility model based transport systems consume least energy and produce less pollution and at the same time provide higher recognition to the passengers. ➨The system makes people healthier.

Are mobility HUBs a game changer for mobility transitions? With this question for a fishbowl discussion, the SmartHubs training program was ended. For two days, the researchers from academia and practitioners from the industry discussed the design, appraisal, and assessment of mobility hubs and their overall effects on a mobility network. I was pleased to participate in such a fantastic event and connect with like-minded professionals. To answer this question, it is necessary first to define what "to change the game" means, and I am ready to bet any money that there will be as many answers to this question as participants of such a theoretical survey. For me, it means getting fewer people driving cars and more people using active mobility modes (and transit), resulting in reduced social exclusion, improved accessibility, and overall quality of life. Between the shiny presentations about mobility HUBs and the tools for their analysis, I had a chance to speak with fellow researchers, primarily women, who shared their reluctance towards using a bike for commuting purposes. As a male transport planner dedicated to promoting active mobility and reducing gender inequality, I genuinely wanted to understand their perspectives and concerns. Their reasons for avoiding biking primarily revolved around the inadequacy (or lack) of infrastructure, the design of shared bikes (not comfortable to sit), how suitable it is to cycle in a summer dress, road surface conditions (cobblestones), and the challenge of cycling in adverse weather. I appreciate the push for shared mobility options and the development of Mobility HUBs; I understand and welcome the marketing purposes behind building a brand out of Mobility Points and making it recognizable as famous labels for U-Bahn and S-Bahn. However, it is crucial to recognize that infrastructure comes first, and Munich still has ample room for improvement to make cycling inclusive for all demographics. Until then, Mobility HUBs will not change anything despite how smart they are.

LISBON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Shared mobility, from ride-hailing services to electric scooters, will make up 7% of all urban transport journeys globally by 2030, up from 3% currently, according to a report published on Tuesday. The report by consultancy Oliver Wyman, published during Europe's largest tech conference, Lisbon's Web Summit, said the market size of shared mobility was forecast to reach 400 billion dollars by 2030. Shared mobility has emerged as a "more sustainable model" to solve various transport hurdles, such as cost and emissions, the report says. "The mobility sector has changed dramatically in recent years and in addition to cars there is now a range of different modes of transport available to people," said Andreas Nienhaus, head of Oliver Wyman's mobility forum. Olive Wyman used data from ride-hailing and food delivery startup Bolt to put together the report. "The shared mobility sector has grown to be used by millions of people over the past decade," said Bolt CEO Markus Villig. "We've seen shared mobility integrate into wider city transport systems." But the industry has also faced criticism, the report highlighted. It has been blamed for contributing to congestion and emissions by adding more trips to already congested roads, safety concerns have been raised over electric scooters and it has been criticised for the poor working conditions its drivers often have to endure. The report said more than nine million people were estimated to earn an income from shared mobility services in 2023, and the number was forecast to grow to 16 million by 2030. The report said shared mobility had the potential to significantly reduce urban emissions but the "overall impact is currently mixed" as it depends on factors such as consumer behaviour and coordination with other modes of transport. Electric scooter usage patterns show 10% of rides directly replace car journeys, the report said.

Sustainable mobility alternatives are key to building vibrant and accessible cities. Boris Johnson's visionary move with the launch of London's cycle hire scheme back in 2010 set a precedent for embracing micromobility solutions. Despite regulatory challenges persisting, Londoners deserve sustainable transport options that are safe, convenient, and affordable. By prioritizing micromobility and investing in infrastructure, the city can move closer to achieving its modal shift target of 80% sustainable trips by 2041. #UrbanMobility #Micromobility

It’s great to work with businesses in Tameside! Magpies Nest has taken significant strides towards reducing its carbon footprint while promoting active travel and supporting local businesses. Magpies Nest Ltd has partnered with Tameside Council, Transport for Greater Manchester and Manchester Bike Kitchen who are repairing and servicing the cycles, in trialling an innovative e-bike scheme. The e-bike trial, which is open to other Tameside businesses, aligns with Magpie’s Nest's commitment to not only reduce its carbon footprint but also foster a healthier and more sustainable way of living. Through the initiative the bike has been loaned to Magpie’s Nest so staff can use it for business-related activities, whether that’s for deliveries or cycling to and from work. Since last year, the Stalybridge business has been actively improving its eco-friendly practices, and the team has implemented various measures to lessen its environmental impact. From switching to energy-efficient LED light bulbs to meticulous recycling practices and utilizing timers for lighting, Magpie’s Nest has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability. Clara Horrocks, Magpie’s Nest shop manager, said: "We have the bike on loan for three months. It's been a fantastic experience so far. “The bike is free to loan and, although we need to provide our own helmets and safety gear, the positive impact on both staff members and customers has been undeniable. Residents love the idea of local deliveries being made on a bike, and commuting to work on the e-bike sets us up for the day, free from the stress of traffic." A Tameside Council spokesperson said: “As we embark on our journey to net zero, Magpie’s Nest's initiative in joining the trial of the e-bike scheme shows the proactive steps businesses can take to reduce emissions and promote sustainable practices. Their commitment to sustainability not only benefits the environment but also sets a commendable example for others to follow, as active workplaces can lead to healthier and happier staff.” Any businesses that are interested in trialling an e-bike should get in touch with Marie Hare, Tameside Council’s community initiative officer, by emailing Marie.Hare@tameside.gov.uk.
