据路透社11月7日消息，BP公司正向芬兰交通应用Whim投资1,000万欧元，以拓展其在未来低碳世界中的地位。

迄今为止，BP的新技术投资主要集中在FreeWire和PowerShare等电动汽车充电平台，以及减少石油和天然气钻探产生的排放。

虽然Whim的投资对这家市值1352亿美元的公司来说微不足道，但这是迈向乘车共享和应用驱动技术的第一步。

由MaaS Global开发的Whim为客户提供了一个单一的平台，将城市中所有可用的交通选项——从出租车、公共汽车、自行车和租车，到叫车服务、共享电动踏板车和电动自行车，一一连接起来。

自2017年在赫尔辛基推出Whim以来，MaaS Global已在伯明翰，维也纳和安特卫普提供了该服务。

BP的投资将支持在世界其他城市（包括新加坡和美国）推广该应用的计划。

BP invests in city transportation app Whim

BP (BP.L) is investing 10 million euros in Finnish transportation app Whim as the oil and gas company seeks to expand its role in a future low-carbon world.

BP’s new technology investments have so far focused on electric vehicle charging platforms such as FreeWire and PowerShare and reduction of emissions from oil and gas drilling.

Although the Whim investment is minuscule for the $135.20 billion company, it is a first step into ride sharing and app-driven technology.

Whim, which is developed by MaaS Global, offers customers a single platform to connect all available transport options in a city from taxis, buses, bikes and rental cars to ride-hailing services and shared e-scooters and e-bikes.

After launching Whim in Helsinki in 2017, MaaS Global has made the service available in Birmingham, Vienna and Antwerp.

BP’s investment will support plans to roll out the app in additional cities around the world, including Singapore and in the United States.
