Idea and Business Model: Revolutionizing Chile's Electric Vehicle Taxi Sector with Vamos
Expanding our cab app, Vamos, in Chile taps into the country's global lithium hub prominence. The 'My Electric Taxi Program' by the Chilean government fuels an immense opportunity for an EV cab industry.
Due to recent Regulations in December 2023 over minimum engine size and the maximum age of cars limit will prevent many drivers from working in the cab industry ,this will also reduce the number of cabs available in the market which will create difficulty for both Drivers & Riders.
To create a win-win for riders, drivers, government, investors, we introduce 'Senator- A special purpose vehicle.
Green bonds and public investments fund this special purpose vehicle, promoting Chile's green future. Leveraging government subsidies, the Senator procures EVs, providing jobs for Vamos drivers.
Drivers pay a daily rent based on rides in 24 hrs. Drivers Driving more enjoy lower rent: 7000 Chilean Peso for above 150 kms, 12000 for 100 km, and 16000 for less than 50 km, incentivizing increased driving. (1 Rs = 10.73 Chilean Peso)
Drivers in challenging terrains have reduced targets for equality: 5000 Chilean Peso for above 250 km, 10000 for 150-250 km, and 12000 for less than 150 km.
Vamos charges a 30% commission, with drivers free from car liabilities. If drivers make fewer trips, higher rent covers Vamos costs via Senator, ensuring sustainability. Vamos shares 10% of profits with Senator, fostering a mutually beneficial partnership.
