Groupe PSA has moved into the US market for the first time with the launch of Free2Move, a smartphone-based mobility aggregation platform in Seattle.

Free2Move will also be adding several cycle sharing services during the next 60-days, including Ofo, Lime and Spin Bike.
“The decision to launch a service that helps people move around in the most efficient way underscores our commitment to the future of Groupe PSA,” said North America president and CEO, Larry Dominique.
“As mobility services evolve and innovate based on the way people think about and consume mobility, bringing Free2Move Stateside provides us with a way to address consumer demands, as well as a flexible platform to roll out future products.”
With Free2Move, consumers can schedule or immediately access the transportation of their choice for a period ranging from a few minutes to several days.
