The platform that is changing how cars move before you even use them

European mobility is changing at an unprecedented pace: electric fleets are growing every year, carsharing services are expanding across major cities, and subscription models are attracting users who no longer want to own a car. But behind all these trends lies a challenge that rarely takes centre stage: moving vehicles correctly and quickly to where they are needed.

This invisible logistics has become a critical piece for new mobility to work without friction. ONLOGIST, a digital platform born in Germany and already present in Spain, has turned vehicle transfer management into an automated, traceable and efficient process. Today it coordinates thousands of daily movements across Europe and has established itself as a key partner for rental companies, carsharing operators, leasing firms and large corporate fleets.

At the forefront of this transformation is Félix Müller, CEO and co-founder of ONLOGIST, one of the most influential voices in the logistical digitalisation of mobility. With him, we analyse the challenges, opportunities and technologies that are redefining how vehicles are managed across the continent.

1 – ONLOGIST has grown at the pace of new mobility. What impact is the emergence of electric fleets, carsharing and subscriptions having on vehicle logistics in Europe?
The rise of electric fleets, carsharing and subscription models has completely transformed vehicle management. Fleets must be available in the right place and at the right time, with minimal downtime. ONLOGIST’s digital platform delivers exactly that, with automated, transparent and scalable processes across Europe. As the mobility market becomes more flexible and on-demand, ONLOGIST ensures that vehicles are always where people need them, making it a key enabler of modern mobility.

2 – You manage thousands of vehicle movements every day. Which technologies — AI, automation, predictive analytics — are key to optimising routes, times and costs?

Technology lies at the heart of our platform. ONLOGIST uses automation, real-time data and telematics to optimise every transfer. Predictive analytics allow us to anticipate demand, while intelligent route planning minimises empty trips and reduces emissions. With up to 80% less administrative workload and cost savings of around 30%, our clients benefit directly from faster, more efficient, data-driven logistics.

3 – Every country has its own way of understanding mobility. What differences do you see between Spain and the other markets where you operate regarding the use of digital platforms for vehicle transfers?

Mobility trends — such as carsharing and subscription models — are similar across Europe, but the degree of digitalisation varies. Spain, for example, shows great openness to digital solutions and rapid adoption of new technologies, while other markets still rely more on local providers and traditional methods. ONLOGIST bridges that gap by offering a standardised, easy-to-use platform adapted to local needs — in language, regulation and service model.

4 – Traceability has become an essential requirement for fleets. How does ONLOGIST guarantee full visibility of the process, from the request to delivery?

Transparency is one of our founding principles. Thanks to real-time GPS tracking, digital delivery protocols with photographs and telematics data, every step of the process is fully documented. Clients can check the live status, estimated arrival times and access all records from the ONLOGIST platform or app. This comprehensive traceability guarantees quality, accountability and smooth communication between all parties.

5 – Leasing and carsharing fleets are increasingly sensitive to the hidden costs of idle vehicles. How are you helping companies minimise that unproductive time?

Downtime costs money — and we help reduce it. Our automatic assignment system connects available drivers and vehicles in real time, allowing transfers to begin within minutes. 80% of orders are assigned in under ten minutes, and most vehicles are moved in less than 24 hours. This speed allows our clients to keep their fleets active and their users satisfied.

6 – The company works with a broad network of self-employed drivers and companies. What training, verification and quality model do you apply to guarantee a professional and safe service?

All drivers working with ONLOGIST are verified and trained before accepting assignments. We use telematics to monitor driving behaviour, speed and route compliance, and every transfer is digitally documented with photos and delivery protocols. In addition, our clients can define their own qualification criteria or deliver online training through the platform. This way we guarantee a standardised, high-quality service, even with thousands of collaborators.

7 – Logistics is often associated with trucks and heavy transport. Is the perception of the sector changing thanks to specialised digital platforms like yours?

Undoubtedly. Vehicle logistics has long been an invisible part of the mobility chain, although it is essential for carsharing, rental or subscription models to work. Platforms like ONLOGIST make this process visible and efficient, providing data, traceability and speed. We are demonstrating that intelligent technology — and not only heavy transport — is what drives modern mobility.

8 – Sustainability is no longer optional. What initiatives are you driving to reduce the carbon footprint of transfers? In the coming years we will see autonomous vehicles and new urban mobility regulations.

We reduce emissions by optimising routes, avoiding empty kilometres and integrating electric and hybrid vehicles into fleet logistics. Every efficient transfer saves CO₂ — and at scale, the impact is significant. Looking ahead, we are preparing for the next steps in sustainable mobility: autonomous driving, new urban regulations and even greener logistics models across Europe.
