Design more sustainable, desirable, and high-performing mobilities
At Aktan, we support public and private transport actors in the design, testing, and deployment of new solutions for sustainable mobility.
Our belief: the success of a transition project depends not only on technology, but on the capacity to understand usage, collaborate with the right actors, and transform organizations.
Our missions: from strategy to implementation
We engage in the entire transformation cycle:
Explore usage and behavior: understand the realities on the ground, logistical constraints, and the expectations of users and operators.
Design tomorrow's offerings and services: combine design, strategy, and innovation to create solutions that are viable, usable, and desirable.
Support implementation: co-create processes, validate pilots, structure feedback, and prepare for scaling.
We assist our clients in moving from prototype to proof, from pilot to impact
Our expertise
Energy transition and logistical innovation
Usage studies and offer design for vehicle fleets, freight, and new energy infrastructures (electric, biofuels, hydrogen).
Traveler experience and user relations
Experience design and facilitation of co-construction approaches to transform traveler and staff relations.
New mobility and territories
Studies and experiments on soft mobility, carpooling, multimodality, and territorial inclusion.
Why Aktan?
An expert, agile, and integrated team.
Our strength lies in the combined experience of our consultants, designers, and human sciences researchers, accustomed to working in complex environments: industrial, public or territorial.
We quickly utilize cutting-edge methods and tools of strategic design, prototyping, and user research to accelerate decision-making, adoption, project implementation, and to ensure reliable innovation choices.
Experienced in collaborating with innovation, CSR, customer experience, or operations departments, we integrate as a true outsourced team while maintaining the necessary perspective for transformation.
Result: a pragmatic and forward-thinking approach, capable of moving quickly without sacrificing analytical depth.
A systemic approach
Our projects integrate all dimensions of a mobility system: energy, technology, organizational, and social.
This comprehensive view allows us to identify concrete levers to ensure successful transformation.
Our clients:
Transilien, Air France, Michelin, Transdev, RATP, SPL Lyon, SNCF, Renault, Valeo, ATMB, South Western Railway, Stellantis, Alstom, AFT, Illisto, Indigo Group, Stanley Robotics, Watèa by Michelin, ChapsVision
Our typical deliverables
· Usage studies and actor mapping
· Design and prototyping of new services
· Co-construction workshops and collective intelligence
· Experimentation strategies and deployment plans
· Change management and skills transfer
A complete expertise, from diagnosis to execution, to sustainably transform organizations and their services
We intervene at each stage of the innovation cycle:
From the idea to production, to continuous service improvement.
Our teams are capable of leading a full project, from user research to market launch, but also of intervening in existing projects: analyzing gaps, identifying adoption levers, proposing and implementing concrete improvements.
