DOVU is proud and excited to announce it has been selected to be part of the founding members of MOBI, the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative.

The new consortium explores how blockchain will reinvent mobility and address industry shifts.

As explained in the official press release, MOBI will explore blockchain for use in a new digital mobility ecosystem that could make transportation safer, more affordable, and more widely accessible.

Members of MOBI belong to three major categories:

MOBILITY LEADERS, with almost 70% of the World’s car manufacturers and service providers, including Ford, General Motors, Renault, BMW, ZF and Bosch.

CONSULTANCY/TECHNOLOGICAL FIRMS, ACADEMIA, GOVERNMENTS, AGENCIES (IBM, Accenture and Berkeley and many others) that will help accelerate innovation and link different areas together.

BLOCKCHAIN COMPANIES. The list includes the IOTA Foundation, FOAM, Hyperledger, ConsenSys and obviously DOVU. To us the task to fulfill the mobility needs with our blockchain technology.

Initially MOBI will be working with its partners on projects related to:

Vehicle identity, history and data tracking

Supply chain tracking, transparency, and efficiency

Autonomous machine and vehicle payments

Secure mobility ecosystem commerce

Data markets for autonomous and human driving

Car sharing and ride hailing

Usage based mobility pricing for vehicles, insurance, energy, congestion, pollution,

infrastructure, etc.

This marks an important milestone for DOVU.

It demonstrates that automakers and mobility actors are looking at the blockchain technology to improve their business models . These global firms realized that collaborations is the best and fastest way to accelerate progress.

Sachin Lulla, Vice President & Partner, IBM Automotive Industry Leader, explains: “A set of blockchain standards for the mobility industry will allow car, infrastructure and service providers to efficiently communicate and transact with each other”.

A more open environment matches both the blockchain technology and DOVU’s vision.

Building different use cases with industry leaders will prove from an early stage the benefits of our solutions and will boost new business models with us.

. Building different use cases with industry leaders will prove from an early stage the benefits of our solutions and will boost new business models with us. DOVU will increasingly be part of an articulated blockchain ecosystem, where different projects and experts such as IBM can provide solutions in complementary parts of the value chain, creating a virtuous cycle for all the actors involved.

We are looking forward to working together with all the partners of MOBI and we are confident this type of collaboration will provide positive tangible value to the DOVU ecosystem.
