Listen Now:
itMoves addresses transportation issues holistically. This “mobility as a service” company has created a very interesting business model– a model that involves a broad scale approach to long term transportation issues for a growing World commuter population.
Jose Paris has set out to create a new kind of mobility company. One that considers transportation from outside the realm of traditional mandates. A company that offers solid answers for the emerging paradigm. For the past 12 years, Jose was a concept car designer for the big OEMs. He worked and created for the best design studios in the automotive industry. During that time, he learned that many of the most needed changes can never be addressed due to the nature of large corporate organizations. “You become the voice in the forest. That’s no fun. You eventually realize that it is nearly impossible to move the needle.”, Paris describes.
Jose decided to leave the world of large automotive corporations and begin his own mobility company. Bold move. But after speaking with Jose about his ideas, you get the sense that he’s really on to something. Something that, well, should have been created eons ago. The itMoves concept is simple, intelligent, inclusive and tangible. It is personal, customizable and directly addresses the environmental impact created by traditional transportation methods. It is a solid concept. So solid that Jose’s idea recently placed runner up at the most recent Clean Tech Open. Not bad for a few month old company… And that’s just the beginning. itMoves plans to unveil it’s ME electric car (the Netbook of electric cars) and 4.ME car share concept in the new year. itMoves‘ future is very bright.
