Wayz-Up is a mobile solution specialising in home-work car pooling.
The type of car pooling that works well today is occasional car pooling for long distances.
Regular home-work car pooling is more complicated to set up as it is much more constrained.
As soon as you need to make a small detour, it can become problematic
In the evening, you don't always finish at the same time
and then you have the issue of how to share costs with your colleagues.
We have therefore rethought all the existing solutions
in order to do something that specialises in commuting.
It takes your detours into account,
including dropping your children off at school as you can pick people up afterwards.
It lets you make last-minute plans 30 minutes beforehand
so as to be able to leave on time in the evening even if you have a different schedule.
Then it enables you to share costs fairly.
It's quite a local rollout since we must create critical mass at a local level
in order to enable employees to share journeys.
From January, we're rolling out on a larger scale
across the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines area
with several large companies including EADS, Safran, Bouygues and Renault.
This means a base of around 20,000 employees
that will allow us to test the service for 3 months.
Car pooling is a strong movement that has a real impact on sustainable mobility as much
in terms of CO2 emissions as congestion.
