Galpshare 

 

Mission

• It was designed by Galp Energia to contribute to more sustainable mobility
• and to mobilise citizens to change their behaviour concerning how they travel every day.
• To avoid wasting energy resources, obvious in the thousands of cars driven every day in cities, most of which with just one person.
• To contribute to individual savings and to environmental protection, in a context of increasing economic difficulties and greater awareness of the problems of environmental sustainability.

Features

• Galpshare allows users to publish their daily or one-off routes, including travel times and whether they want to share their own vehicle or “a catch a lift”.

• This platform “crosses” information and identifies users with similar destinations, sending sharing invitations that are subsequently accepted or rejected by users.
• It allows users to create groups with something in common, such as belong to the same company or university, guaranteeing the possibility of the destinations published being viewable only by its members.

It is the first time that car pooling has been promoted on a large scale and that an energy company has been associated with to this type of movement.
