Convenience Matters

Smartphones have gone well beyond transforming how people communicate and share moments from their lives on social media – they are now transforming how people share things, whether renting homes, selling goods or even sharing cars. The allure to shared travel comes down to one central fact: the average vehicle is used about 5%, on average, each day. Will shared travel disrupt the market – and if so, who will lead this change? Smartphones have revolutionized how we use a variety of products. Can they also affect how we use our vehicles? The hosts will discuss the findings from a new Fuels Institute research paper. Co-hosts: Jeff Lenard, VP of Strategic Industry Initiatives for the National Association of Convenience Stores; Donovan Woods, Director of Operations, Fuels Institute
