Sustainable Media for Sustainable Mobility | Join the Movement

Futurride covers the latest in global news, reviews, analysis, and features on sustainable mobility from electric and autonomous vehicles to vehicle connectivity and mobility services. We connect the industry with consumers on cleaner, safer, more convenient and equitable technology in cars, trucks, boats, bikes, motorcycles, and aircraft.

Our Story

Founded in September 2020, Futurride is designed and developed as a sustainable media brand focusing on sustainable mobility technology. The brand was created by the startup media and consulting business KJMC (Kevin Jost Media & Consulting, LLC) established in August 2020.

As a new-mobility media brand, Futurride is delivering valuable and free content for both industry and tech-minded consumers, funded by partnerships and low-cost sponsorship/advertising—all beautifully designed, easy to navigate, and enabled by the latest content development and deployment technology.

Coverage at the Highest Level

Sustainable mobility: technology solutions for zero crashes, emissions, and congestion (vehicle autonomy, connectivity, electrification, and mobility services).

We want to educate the industry at a high level but also make technical concepts understandable and relatable to the general public.
