Ridesharing

Our vision is to move the world better.

What we do

We accelerate digitization and intelligent automation of mobility to create a more sustainable, safer, and productive future.

Smart Fleet Management

Ridecell builds the technologies and solutions that unlock the full power of fleets and fleet management systems.

With the Fleet Transformation Cloud, we integrate data from sensors and multiple siloed IT systems and turn it into usable insights, digital vehicle control, and automated workflows. For our customers the result is nothing short of transformative, dramatically streamlining fleet operations and opening up new revenue opportunities—all while making fleets more sustainable.

I have been here for more than a year and I haven’t ever been at any place more focused on one mission – to enable mobility for all in the most efficient way.

Our story

From the very beginning, our mission obsession has and will always be in developing ways to move the world better.

2019

While there were many critical milestones and key developments along the way, a sea change moment began as the company prioritized refining and enhancing technologies to enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and shared mobility providers to fully automate their operations. Building on prior advances and always looking for opportunity to learn and grow with customers, Ridecell solutions continued the process of becoming automotive grade. And as autonomous vehicle technologies progressed rapidly, Ridecell quickly recognized the potential of automating operations for the fleets of tomorrow.

2024

Today Ridecell powers some of the most successful fleet businesses in cities across Europe and North America, including Arval; GIG Car Share, powered by AAA NCNU; and KINTO by Toyota Sweden. Ridecell, Inc. is leading the way in the digital transformation of fleet businesses and operations. Fleet automation and mobility solutions built on our Fleet Transformation Cloud modernize and monetize fleets by combining data insights with digital vehicle control to turn today’s manual processes into automated workflows. And with a growing team of 150 professionals in offices around the globe, we’re just getting started.
