The [FinancialContent Business Page](https://www.financialcontent.com/article/newsfile-2026-10-23-ipakket-corporation-announces-new-york-carsharing-initiative-and-plans-broader-us-urban-mobility-expansion) reported the rollout, which the company describes as part of a broader strategy to develop integrated transportation services across the United States.\n\n## How the QR-Code Carsharing Works\n\nRide by iPakket users locate available vehicles and start rentals by scanning a QR code with a smartphone. The service supports rental periods by the minute, hour or full day, and vehicles are returned to designated authorized zones to support fleet management and use of urban space.\n\nJuan Sebastián Palomo Murga, CEO and President of iPakket Corporation, said the company's micromobility operations informed the addition. \"Micromobility taught us exactly how New Yorkers move on short journeys,\" he said. \"However, we detected that our recurring users sometimes needed to travel longer distances, transport packages, or travel protected from the weather without having to resort to private car ownership.\"\n\nPalomo Murga said carsharing sits alongside the existing fleet. \"Carsharing does not replace our bikes or scooters; it complements them. We now offer a total mobility solution in a single platform under the ridebyipakket.com brand.\"\n\nPablo Palomo, COO of Ride by iPakket, said the company's scooter operations provide a base for the carsharing model. \"Having successfully operated scooter networks, we already have institutional trust, geolocation technology, and the logistical infrastructure necessary for this QR-code carsharing model to work cleanly, orderly, and economically for the local resident,\" he said.\n\n## iPakket's Delivery Platform in Guatemala\n\niPakket operates as a multi-category on-demand delivery platform in Guatemala, connecting consumers with local restaurants, pharmacies and home goods stores through a mobile app, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list a multi-category consumer delivery app launched on Google Play and Apple App Store aggregating food, pharmacy and home goods orders in Guatemala, an expansion from a single delivery vertical into a multi-category platform, and an administrative dashboard for registered local businesses to manage orders, track delivery efficiency and monitor profitability. The records describe iPakket as a Guatemala-based company with a headcount range of 1-10, revenue estimated under $1 million and valuation estimated under $10 million.\n\n## Earlier iPakket Statements on Mobility\n\nIn August 2026, iPakket founder Juan Sebastian Palomo Murga said the logistics industry is evolving into a technology-driven sector where data transparency and digital tools are becoming as critical as physical transportation, the FinancialContent Business Page reported. In July 2026, iPakket and Arqcons Group urged policymakers and industry leaders to prioritize sustainable investment and long-term value creation in infrastructure and transportation systems, according to 24-7 Press Release.\n\n## Expansion Plans Beyond New York\n\niPakket is exploring opportunities to introduce its mobility services in additional U.S. cities and university communities, with potential expansion depending on market demand, local regulations, infrastructure availability and agreements with relevant stakeholders. Specific additional U.S. launch locations and implementation schedules have not been announced. The company is also exploring longer-term opportunities in Europe.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
