September 2024 - uRyde startet in Unterfranken!

Gemeinsam mit einem Konsortium aus großen Arbeitgebern, Kliniken, Banken, Städten und Landkreisen geht uRyde weiter voran, um eine der größten Herausforderungen der Region, den Pendelverkehr, zu reduzieren und einen nachhaltigen Impact auf die CO2-Emmisionen im Verkehrssektor zu ermöglichen. Breite Unterstützung findet sich auch in der Politik für die Idee.

Our office and how we work

Personal responsibility, trust, flat hierarchies and a creative working environment are our focus. The uRyde offices are therefore set up more like a playground with a slide, ball pool and carrera track than a classic office.

Do you want to help write the uRyde story?

Let's take the next steps together!

We are always looking for new talent who have a passion for sustainable, resource- and climate-friendly mobility. Become part of uRyde too!
