Karos Mobility

What Karos Mobility does

Karos Mobility operates a daily commuter carpooling platform designed to integrate with European public transport networks and serve as a systematic mobility solution for cities, regions, and companies. The offering combines three layers: the consumer-facing Karos App (iOS/Android, rated 4.6/5) for carpool discovery and coordination, a partner-facing reporting platform for project statistics, live KPIs, and environmental impact tracking, and expert consulting services that provide hands-on support from pilot to scale. Custom branding allows territories and companies to white-label the solution, and the platform supports intermodal integration with public transport. The company has accumulated 15 million verified carpooling trips across 700+ successful program launches.

The business operates on a subscription-based B2G and B2B model. Public transport authorities, cities, and regions subscribe to integrate carpooling into public transport networks and reduce commuter traffic and CO₂ emissions, while private companies subscribe to offer employee carpooling programs that reduce Scope 3 commuting emissions, lower parking costs, and strengthen employee benefits. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise/field sales for B2B and B2G deals, channel partnerships through 100+ territorial and 600+ corporate partners, and community-led growth among commuter networks. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Karos Mobility is organized under two wholly-owned legal entities: Karos Mobility SAS in Paris (responsible for France, Italy, and Spain) and Karos Mobility GmbH in Cologne (formerly goFLUX Mobility GmbH, responsible for Germany, Netherlands, and Switzerland). The company operates across six European markets and is privately held, with no external institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company identified in available sources. Olivier Binet serves as President and Tristan Croiset as Managing Director of the SAS entity. The company claims European market leadership in daily commuter carpooling and is backed by the European Commission.
