SK Rent-a-Car Provides Evaluation System Solution for Corporate Taxis Switching to Monthly Salary System

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] SK Rent-a-Car will provide a customized solution that allows the corporate taxi industry, which is set to transition to a 'monthly salary system' next year, to monitor taxi operating hours and performance.

On the 9th, SK Rent-a-Car announced that on the 8th, it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a 'Taxi Control Service Business Cooperation Using Smart Link' at the headquarters of Daesung Transportation in Jeonbuk, together with corporate taxi operators such as Konatus, Daewon Taxi, and Daesung Transportation.

According to the amendment to the Passenger Transport Service Act, from this year, the corporate taxi industry must abolish the deposit system and implement the 'full management system,' a salary-based system, and from next year, it must switch to a 'complete monthly salary system.' Accordingly, corporate taxi operators must calculate salaries and performance bonuses by understanding the operating hours and performance of the taxis they manage.

However, since such a performance evaluation system has not yet been established in domestic corporate taxi companies, the industry is experiencing confusion. An SK Rent-a-Car official said, "We signed this MOU in response to regulatory changes in the taxi industry and will provide taxi companies with customized solutions using SK Rent-a-Car's Smart Link."

Additionally, SK Rent-a-Car plans to lead changes in payment and settlement systems for each taxi company using the comprehensive vehicle management solution 'Smart Link.' Until now, taxi fares have been a simple charge based on travel distance, but in the future, various attempts such as discounts through coupon application and point application through events with partners are expected.

SK Rent-a-Car envisions providing various services to taxi companies through the 'Smart Link' service, including vehicle diagnostics and safe driving inducement services. SK Rent-a-Car operates the 'Smart Care' service, which encourages drivers' safe driving and fuel-efficient driving habits, and is currently developing a real-time vehicle parts diagnostic service using the Internet of Things in cooperation with automotive parts company Mando.

Yoon Min-ho, head of SK Rent-a-Car's Smart Link Business Division, said, "We have contributed to resolving inconveniences by applying the customer-tailored services of the comprehensive vehicle management solution 'Smart Link' to the taxi industry," adding, "We will continue to create new customer value through broad partnerships and cooperation with various startups developing diverse mobility services and business models."
