We were discussing the future of mobility and how to get to lower-emissions buses in the future at #ZEB2023
 
Daniel Zellinger was on an interesting panel sharing the Flix situation and our vision for the future and some of the key takeaways were:
 
🔍As announced in our ESG report: 
We aim at full decarbonization in Europe by 2040.
A fleet transformation is a key lever of our climate strategy to achieve this.
 
🌍 There’s no carbon-neutral technology for long-distance operations by a coach yet; nonetheless, we are investigating diverse alternative drives and fuels to cut our carbon footprint anyway.
 
🌟 More effort is needed from all stakeholders: everybody has a role to play in the ecological transition. We are eager to do our part, but we need others to back us in this.
 
🛣️ In the debate on zero-emission mobility, more consideration is needed for long-distance coaches: to be able to rely on the right infrastructure is crucial, and political will is needed to get this infrastructure built.
 
What other key points do you see in a transformation to zero emissions in the bus world?

How do Flixies make an impact?
 
Meet Elisa CZORNYJ, Team Lead of Operations in our Paris office. She has a deep appreciation for new experiences and has had some adventures, like surfing on the sand dunes of Chile, jumping out of planes, and navigating kayaks almost 700 meters below the surface in a mine.
 
When she’s not seeking out a new and exciting experience, Elisa makes an impact by cultivating a culture of proactivity on her team. She fosters a trust-based environment by being transparent with her team members, especially with the mistakes and setbacks she encounters.
 
In Elisa’s words, “I believe in empowering my team to be proactive and problem-solvers, it contributes to our collective success. I also think it's important to have regular exchanges and be really transparent about what type of blockers I may be having.”

I Make an Impact is our core value centered around self-development, a proactive mindset in making decisions, and taking the lead to develop our skill-sets.

How do Flixies push boundaries? 
 
Meet Paulo Azevedo, a Senior Software Solutions Architect in Berlin whose favorite comfort food is spaghetti carbonara (but please, no cream in the sauce!)
 
When he’s not trying his hand in the kitchen, Paulo pushes boundaries by organizing FlixLabs, our quarterly hackathon. Over the course of three days of work, Paulo and his teammates leveraged Google’s Dialogflow technology to create a hotline for customers to check if a ticket was available before connecting them with a customer service agent. This required the team to work with unfamiliar languages, like Polish, which nobody in the team spoke.
 
In Paulo’s words, "I was working with a colleague from the localization team, and we were going through all sorts of barriers. It was stressful, but it never crossed our minds to offer a lesser experience in any language."
 
We Push Boundaries is our core value centered around delivering results, and our ability to embrace competition and surpass current limitations by moving beyond the status quo.

At Flix, we win together.

Meet Jesús Martínez-Blanco, a Principal Data Scientist in our Berlin office. When he isn’t harnessing the power of collaboration around a whiteboard, he loves going to jazz concerts at any of the many jazz clubs in Berlin.

Jesús lives the Flix4 value We Win Together every Thursday when his team gathers around a whiteboard in the office to tackle particularly difficult challenges. The latest challenge they tackled on the whiteboard? Price elasticity. The team aimed to determine how much customers are willing to pay for a bus or train ticket through an algorithm. It wasn't a straightforward task, as some parts of the network lacked sufficient data, but whiteboarding sessions came to the rescue.

In Jesús’ words, "It's never the case that a single individual brings a brilliant idea that goes straight into production. It's always that somebody might bring a bright idea and then polish that idea with ideas from others."

We Win Together is our core value centered around collaborating on team goals that are consistent with organizational strategy while celebrating achievements together.

How do Flixies push boundaries? 💚

Meet Moises Gonzalez, a Senior Software Engineer in Berlin. When he’s not pushing boundaries at Flix, he is a photographer who has racked up 45k downloads on Unsplash. 📸

Moises lives the Flix4 value “We Push Boundaries” by organizing our quarterly hackathon, FlixLabs 🔬. But unlike most companies’ hackathons, FlixLabs is designed to bring tech and business together to solve problems across organizations. 

In his words, "We encourage people to do things in an experimental way and give them a safe space where they can feel like failure isn’t a bad thing.”

We Push Boundaries is our core value centered around delivering results, our ability to embrace competition, and efforts to surpass current limitations by moving beyond the status quo.
