National importance<\/h2>\n

- from North Rhine-Westphalia<\/h4>\n

The MONOCAB shows the economic and innovative power in NRW. The vehicle is to be developed and produced at NRW's business location \u2013 as part of the transformation of the \u201eautomotive industry\u201c location towards Industry 5.0 with \u201eMobility-as-a-Service\u201c.<\/p>\n

This will make NRW, starting in the Lippe district and the OWL region, a global pioneer for purposefully reactivated mobility as a public service in rural areas. This requires the new \u2013 yet integrated into the old: existing routes must be preserved. Because they are spaces of possibility for forms of integrated mobility. Including those we don't yet know!<\/p>\n

Then they are mobile, people stay put (and drive less). And then new people arrive, such as skilled workers for the many companies in the countryside, including hidden champions.<\/p>\n

This makes the MONOCAB a project of national importance \u2013 with good prospects for international impact! The project is groundbreaking for similar regions all over the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    Business Model and Investment Opportunity<\/h2>\n
    \n

    You'll be able to join soon. But first, we'll get down to business \u2013 and you can get involved. Whether as an entrepreneur, an investor, or even a future operator in your own formats!<\/p>\n

    The research project is intended to become a company that offers the product and associated services: the vehicle and the operating model, as well as an operational concept for reactivating rural routes.<\/p>\n

    A new start-up is to market the MONOCAB: The idea is not only intended to catch on in NRW, but to become a model for all rural areas throughout Germany.<\/p>\n

    This project of national importance is moving forward and needs further visionaries. For the meaningful use of what is already there. For connecting the benefits of individual and public transport. And for a focus on social justice, intergenerational equity, and inclusion. As good as your own car: made in NRW, tested in OWL.<\/p>\n

    You are cordially invited to join us! Let's shape a great future in the countryside together!<\/p>\n

      SROI instead of ROI<\/h2>\n
      \n

      Unlike similar technology projects, MONOCAB is not about innovative transport aimed at generating financial returns. It is about democratising rural mobility. About utilising the underutilised. About resource conservation and sustainability. About the state providing essential public services. About social return on investment (SROI) instead of return on investment (ROI).<\/p>\n

      serves not only as a mobility solution but also as an engine for innovation in rural areas \u2013 with positive economic impacts on the region as a centre for innovation. A good example of this is the expected \u201einnovation tourism\u201c \u2013 self-induced traffic once the system is first deployed. This means visitors will come to the countryside just to try out the MONOCAB.<\/p>\n

      • Social Participation and Inclusion: Accessible Design for People with Reduced Mobility<\/li>\n
      • Intergenerational justice: all age groups benefit equally from an efficient and flexible transport system<\/li>\n
      • Economic impulses: a mobility solution as an engine of innovation for rural regions<\/li>\n
      • Promoting sustainable mobility: Public services through basic mobility provision in rural regions<\/li>\n
      • Integration into existing mobility chains: Mobility gaps are closed, and a seamless transition between different modes of transport becomes possible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":20,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-34","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSystem -
