goFLUX: Ride-sharing app relieves commuters and the environment at Erfurter Kreuz

Thuringia's largest industrial area is taking new paths in terms of mobility. With the introduction of the ride-sharing app goFLUX, the Ilm district, the Erfurter Kreuz initiative, and goFLUX Mobility GmbH are setting a strong example for sustainable and cost-effective commuting solutions. The goal is to promote carpooling and intelligently link it with public transportation.

Since the project launch in March 2025, the app has already achieved remarkable success: At the pilot company N3 Engine Overhaul Services, over 20% of the workforce has registered – more than 670 rides have already been organized. The benefits are clear: less traffic, lower CO₂ emissions, reduced parking shortages, and stronger social networking – also for international employees.

The offer is particularly attractive for shift workers, who are often on the move outside of classic public transport hours. Other companies such as XXXLutz, DB Schenker and Marquardt Lightronics are already in the starting blocks. The Ilm district is contributing 240,000 euros from the state's climate protection funds to the project. The Erfurter Kreuz initiative is additionally supporting the project with 10,000 euros annually – a strong signal for modern, climate-friendly mobility in the region.
