Dear Volveroes,<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

We enter this new month, witnessing a world that might look, different, slower or even on standby. We deal with an unprecedented global scenario,where social distancing is the norm. What will get us through are knowledge, the right choices and humanity.<\/p>\r\n

We\u2019re in the middle of one of the greatest if not most important \u201cwhat if\u201d transportation scenario experiments in well over a generation. This is our moment to use this as an opportunity to future proof our systems to be more flexible, equitable and resilient.<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\n

The global perception is that activities are cooling down but Volvero is not moving any slower.\u00a0There are always opportunities<\/strong> in every crisis so we are seizing the moment to reflect, while moving our attention from commercial and marketing activities to R&D by focusing on user experience, that crafts a smoother and frictionless service.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

One thing we know for sure is that\u00a0emergencies are not forever<\/strong>, so it is vital we react, by embracing the risks, as we keep brewing our platform. This is not going to be an easy task, but in this the way we can turn situations upside down, and be ready for mass adoption.<\/div>\r\n
\u00a0<\/div>\r\n
Lastly, despite the uncertainties there is an increased willingness to communicate so we are consolidating meaningful relationships with key players in transportation sector, and as we have understood by now:\u00a0connections are vital to our society.<\/strong><\/strong>\r\n
