Moving launches eco-friendly mobility platform 'Podo'

Fostering Collaboration with Competitive Mobility Companies

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Mobility startup Moving announced on the 12th that it will launch and officially operate the eco-friendly mobility platform 'Podo'.

Since December last year, Moving has been conducting a pilot service that allows delivery agencies to rent electric two-wheelers for delivery purposes for the desired period. Since then, it has laid the foundation for providing eco-friendly mobility services by expanding the installation of standardized swappable battery charging systems (BSS) and diversifying mobility means.

Podo encompasses all services provided by Moving, including ▲Podo Mobility (various micro-mobility options including electric two-wheelers) ▲Podo Friends (an integrated bike lease management platform for delivery agencies and food franchise companies) ▲Podo Station (swappable battery charging system) ▲Podo App (rider app for using Podo Station) ▲Podo Partners (A/S network for Podo Mobility).

Moving plans to install BSS at locations with the best rider accessibility by equipping mobility devices with self-developed Internet of Things (IoT) equipment to collect movement route data. Currently, Podo Stations are being operated in five pilot locations in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, one of the regions with a high concentration of deliveries nationwide.

Moving will seek cooperation with competitive mobility companies to expand the Podo platform and strengthen collaboration with local governments for the development and installation of domestic standard BSS.
