What 2020 Has in Store for Micromobility

The transportation industry may be in for an exciting 2020, but it may have very little to do with cars, trains and buses.

“The business model is also evolving,” Segway Ninebot Group VP of Global Development Tony Ho said. “Even though the majority of them (dockless scooters) have some kind of app that come with it, they could be monthly rental or could be lease to own.”

Ho discussed with Daniel Litwin what the next year might look like for dockless scooters and other last-mile transportation services.

O'Reilly's $10 Billion Bid for NAPA Is About to Redraw Aftermarket Distribution

O'Reilly Automotive's $10 billion bid for Genuine Parts' NAPA auto-parts division would consolidate two major aftermarket distribution channels under one company, significantly reducing competitive choice for fleets and repair shops.
