Thesis title: FRACTIONAL VEHICLE OWNERSHIP AND REVENUE GENERATION THROUGH BLOCKCHAIN ASSET TOKENIZATION
The automotive industry is on a continuous transition towards a more sustainable and integrated ecosystem influenced by the fast-paced adoption of Electrical Vehicles (EVs) and the development of emerging technologies such as Automated Vehicles. At the same time, the road transportation sector is also experimenting with emergent decentralized blockchain technology in various ways ranging from supply chain transparency to insurance and tokenization.
Tokenization is the process through which digital tokens that represent either digital or physical assets are created on blockchain.
The research aims to identify the changes in mobility paradigms happening in smart cities and understand how a car sharing fractional vehicle ownership model using blockchain could work. The research questions are the following: “How is mobility changing in smart cities?” and “Is fractional vehicle ownership a viable business model?”.
