The MaaS Alliance defines Mobility as a Service ('MaaS') as “the integration of various forms of transport services into a single mobility service, accessible on demand.”MaaS may still widely be considered a new concept, but it's been around for a good decade and a half, and appears to be on the verge of mainstream success.In this episode, we're joined by MaaS pioneer Sampo Hietanen of Helsinki-headquartered MaaS Global, Pedro Somma of São Paulo-based Quicko, and Tu Le of Sino Auto Insights in Beijing. This wide-ranging discussion ranges from the current state of mobility as a service and the outlook for the mobility super-app, to the role of the automaker, the importance of rural mobility, and the future of the MaaS market.

What is Mobility as a Service (MaaS) all about? How can MaaS help cities reduce car ownership? What are the emerging global trends around MaaS? Can we combine housing rents with mobility subscription?

Bei dem Konzept von Mobility-as-a-Service geht es ja vor allem über ein neues Wertverständnis von Mobilität. Und nicht nur um das Ersetzen dessen was wir aktuell haben, nämlich hauptsächlich private Autos. Genau so argumentiert Sampo auch, nämlich dass die bisher vorherrschende Argumentation des rationalen Vergleichs zwischen einem Auto und einer MaaS-Flatrate nicht funktionieren. Er spricht davon, dass die Branche neue Träume und Wunschbilder schaffen muss. Und dabei sind genau Verlässlichkeit und Komfort sind laut Sampo zwei der wichtigsten Treiber für eine neue Mobilitätskultur.

Henkilöauto on yhä kulkuvälineiden kuningas, mutta liikkuminen ja sen tavat muuttuvat nyt erittäin nopeaa vauhtia. Sampo Hietasta on kutsuttu MaaSin (Mobility as a service) isäksi. MaaS Global on yritys suomalaisen Whimin takana. Se on kerännyt isot määrät rahoitusta muun muassa globaaleilta autojäteiltä, jotka pohtivat, miten maailma liikkuu tulevaisuudessa. Helsingissä Whimillä on jo yli satatuhatta käyttäjää. Mutta mikä saa ihmisen luopumaan pihassa kiiltävästä Porschesta tai Pösöstä? Mikä on vapauden arvo autoilijalle? Ovatko uudet liikkumistavat vain kaupunkilaisille, vai voisiko niitä saada käyttöön maaseudullekin? Muun muassa näistä asioista keskustelemme Sampo Hietasen kanssa. Jakson lopussa Ekosysteemin äänessä soitamme Ceilin toimitusjohtajalle Sami Kettuselle. Puhumme myynnin ja markkinoinnin yhteispelistä ja siitä, millaisen digiloikan korona on monelle tuonut.

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is reimagining how we move, with sustainability, choice, guaranteed service, and fun as founding virtues. In this episode, ARC transportation analyst Eddie Fidler sits down with Sampo Hietanen, CEO of MaaS Global and founder of the MaaS movement.

What’s it all about? I was first introduced to the world of smart and future mobility some years ago by Author, Key Note speaker and Hyperion Executive Search advisor Lukas Neckermann. It was Lukas who also introduced me to Sampo Hietanen and his company MaaS Global. I’ve been a convert to the concept of Mobility as a Service for some time and have watched MaaS Global with interest, culminating with last week’s large investment from BP. It was great to catch up with Sampo to discuss this and more. About our guest Sampo Hietanen (Civ. Eng. ) is the CEO of MaaS Global Ltd. He is father to the concept “Mobility as a Service”, a paradigm change in transport offering. Hietanen’s background is in executive positions in civil engineering and ITS and he has been founding and heading several international businesses in the field. MaaS Global is the world’s first true Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) operator with its award-winning Whim service. The company implements the Mobility as a Service concept by building the world’s first mobility ecosystem. MaaS Global aspires to improve the level of service in the transport sector by combining public and private transport services from brand new cars to taxis, rental cars, trains, buses and city bikes. Whim is a mobility app that helps you to manage all your daily commuting needs in one app, right from your phone. The service covers everything from journey planning to tickets, ride orders, car rentals and payments – all included in a convenient monthly package similar to a mobile phone subscription. Whim is the first commercially available all-inclusive MaaS solution on the market. With Whim, payments are always handled within the same application to ensure the hassle-free user experience.

Our guest today is Sampo Hietanen, the CEO of a Finnish company called MAAS Global. MaaS stands for Mobility as a Service, and they are the makers of Whim, an app-based platform for MaaS. Whim provides a single way to access all forms of mobility - everything from cars to trains, scooters, bikes and buses, through a subscription. Sampo's influence extends way beyond Finland, in fact he is widely viewed as the ideological father of mobility as a service. As you’ll see from the conversation, Sampo has big dreams for how we might get from place A to B to Z, what it means for car ownership and the car industry, what it means for cities, and urban regions, and what it means for the environment. If you listened to our previous conversations in this miniseries, you’ll recall Israel Duanis explained that Fleetonomy was all about optimizing the use of fleets of vehicles and that Shai Suzan explained that WayCare was all about optimizing the flow of traffic. MaaS' vision includes both of these, I think , and more; their dream is about optimizing the experience that people have as they travel through and within a region.We hope you enjoy the episode - please share it with other like minded curious people, and write us a review on Apple Podcast.

In this episode, Oliver interviews Sampo Heitanen, CEO of MaaS Global/Whim on their mobility as a service subscription model they have in Helsinki and a number of other markets.Specifically we cover:- How MaaS Global came to be started- The unique context of Helsinki’s regulatory environment and the enabling factors that made it a great first market- The challenges and opportunities of scaling mobility as a service offerings - ticketing, API’s, regulatory barriers and walled gardens- The importance of docked and dockless micromobility in driving down the costs of the subscription model- Their customer demographics and how this has driven their choices around subscription packages- How he thinks about Uber’s walled garden efforts in the mobility as a service space- The role of governments/regulators in encouraging mobility as a service offeringsIt’s a great conversation about the shift of business models to mobility-as-a-service subscriptions, underpinned by micromobility.

With today’s episode, we kick off a miniseries on “mobility.” In today’s tech parlance and in city planning parlance, mobility includes a bunch of different issues, but they have one thing in common: they shape the quality of our everyday lives. How we get to work, to school or to our friends’ house can make the difference between a pleasant daily city experience and a barely tolerable one. And one way or another, it’s going to change because of technology. So the “Mobility” umbrella covers lots of things, including autonomous vehicles (AVs), but actually we're not covering those directly in this mobility miniseries. But artificial intelligence plays a role in other parts of mobility, like, for example, fleet management, for which you can imagine optimization algorithms would be crucial. The company we discuss on today's episode is called Fleetonomy, and they are building fleet management systems specifically with autonomy in mind. Fleetonomy’s offering is designed to maximize vehicle utilization, which is the key to fleet management. It does this by leveraging data from the car itself, from the fleet owner’s data, and multiple public sources, and then layering on machine learning algorithms. Fleet management is part of that landscape of mobility, but both the domain and that word include other forms of getting around. Mobility includes e-scooters, ride shares,bike shares, electric vehicles and their charging stations, traffic management, road congestion pricing, and more. In addition to Fleetonomy, this miniseries will include Waycare, a traffic management company, and MaaS Global, makers of Whim, the first mobility-as-a-service provider. When you put all these together, you can begin to envision a really different transportation future, one in which how we move around, when, with whom, in what mode, and maybe even to where, can be dramatically different. Given how crucial mobility is to economic activity, this sector’s transformations can really reverberate widely. Once we’ve aired all three episodes, Marco and I will add a brief post-game conversation discussing mobility and the three companies together. We hope you enjoy and thanks for being curious.P.S. Please share the episode with a friendP.P.S. Here's a 1 minute tutorial on how to write a review and give us a rating on Apple Podcast.

Mobility as a service (MaaS) is slowly changing from an abstract idea to a reality in a few cities around the world and Sampo Hietanen has been described as the person that has turned the original high-level concept into a real service. He is the CEO of Maas Global and their service is called Whim. Whim is the first all-inclusive MaaS solution commercially available on the market and it gives its users all city transport services in one step, letting them journey where and when they want with public transport, taxis, bikes, cars, and other options, all under a single subscription. I speak to Sampo about: the promise that Whim makes to its users which is to provide mobility: anywhere, anytime, on a whim why the problem of city transportation cant be solved on a map through interventions such as traffic management etc how he first came across the idea of individual mobility plans and the inspiration taken from the telecommunications industry why its so difficult to compete with car ownership how MaaS can compete with car ownership because it doesn’t jeopardise convenience or freedom the role that cities can play when introducing MaaS how MaaS transportation hubs will play a major role in the future of our cities how beautiful and enjoyable spaces in cities make us more accepting of alternative modes of transport why MaaS Global have been developing on their data protection practices with a local law firm if MaaS subscriptions could replace the need to building car parking spaces in city apartment blocks https://whimapp.com/about-us/ https://www.fleeteurope.com/en/smart-mobility/smart-mobility/europe/interviews/irresistible-rise-maas-global

In this episode of the Smart Community Podcast, Zoe speaks with Sampo Hietanen, the Founder and CEO at Maas Global, the world's first Mobility-as-a-Service company. Zoe and Sampo discuss his background in transport planning and what sparked his interest in the Smart Community space, as well as how Finland is embracing Smart Concepts, including working towards a life where citizens don't actually NEED a car. Sampo explains what “Mobility as a Service” is, and how his company MaaS Global came to be. He also shares a bit about its success in a relatively short period of time in Finland, and the plans to go live in other cities in the world, including Sydney. Zoe and Sampo explore why Mobility as a Service can only work when there is integration across different suppliers and systems and the importance of building trust with both the end user and mobility providers in order to facilitate that integration. They finish the conversation talking about the question we really should be asking about mobility in our communities, and how cities can be a part of that.

BIT insider - Sami Pippuri, Maas Global by Barona IT

Sampo Hietanen on MaaS-konseptin eli liikkumisen palvelullistumisen isä ja Maas Global, jota hän johtaa, on maailman ensimmäinen liikkumisen operaattori. Yritys, jonka rahoittajiin kuluu muun muassa Toyota ja muita alan ykköstoimijoita, aikoo olla eturivissä valloittamassa maailmanlaajuista 10 000 miljardin euron liikkumisen markkinaa. MaaS Global, jonka kuluttajat tuntevat Whim-applikaatiosta, ei kuitenkaan unelmoi monopolista kuten niin moni startuppi, vaan edustaa Sampon mukaan alustatalous 2.0 -ajan yritystä, jonka ydin on avoin ekosysteemi ja jonka öljy on luottamus. Liikkumisen murros on huumaava mahdollisuus Suomen kannalta ja toteutuessaa järisyttää niin yhteiskuntien kun yhdyskuntienkin rakenteita. Samalla se kolistelee koko länsimaisen vapauskäsityksen ja identiteetin perusteita. Hyviä kuunteluhetkiä.
