At DLD Group, we are proud to support some of the most innovative mobility solutions across Europe. One of our standout collaborations has been with Nextbike, a leading global bike-sharing platform. Through this partnership, DLD custom-designed and manufactured totems that are now deployed in Croatia, Romania, France, and Germany. These installations are helping to transform how people access and interact with urban bike-sharing services.

Supporting Sustainable Urban Mobility

Nextbike is a pioneer in sustainable transport, offering convenient and eco-friendly bike rental systems in more than 300 cities worldwide. Their mission is clear: make urban mobility more efficient, cleaner, and easily accessible to all.

To support this goal, DLD engineered reliable, solar-powered totems that are tailored specifically to Nextbike's operational needs and visual branding. These totems function as self-service terminals, enabling users to:

• Rent and return bicycles

• View real-time bike availability

• Access maps and navigation assistance

• Authenticate through card, QR code, or mobile app

• Interact using a multilingual, user-friendly interface

Each unit was developed with energy efficiency, user convenience, and long-term durability in mind, ensuring they perform flawlessly in different cities and climate conditions across Europe.

Regional Deployment Overview

Our totems have been successfully installed in several strategic locations, demonstrating the flexibility of our design and our ability to meet international standards.

Croatia

In popular tourist cities and busy urban zones, DLD totems provide reliable service for both residents and visitors. Each unit was configured for maximum visibility and intuitive interaction in high-traffic areas.

Romania

Our totems in Romania were installed in cities focused on advancing smart mobility. These units offer seamless integration with Nextbike's app and local transport systems. Designed for high-volume usage, they synchronize in real time with backend systems to ensure accurate availability data.

France – Toulouse

Toulouse marked a key milestone in our international deployment efforts. The totem installed in this French city complies with local design regulations while offering a fully bilingual interface. It is powered by solar energy and supports automatic software updates, reducing the need for on-site maintenance.

Germany

Germany is a leader in sustainable mobility and bike-sharing. Our totem installed there reflects the highest standards of engineering, design, and functionality. Built to withstand weather extremes, it connects smoothly with smart mobility networks and offers top-tier user experience.

Built for Europe, Engineered by DLD

Each Nextbike totem produced by DLD is:

• Fully solar-powered and equipped with backup battery systems

• Compatible with contactless and digital authentication methods

• Modular for easy maintenance and quick upgrades

• Customizable in both design and technical features

• Remotely managed through a secure digital platform

With a focus on sustainability, functionality, and user-centered design, DLD continues to be a trusted partner for innovative mobility infrastructure across Europe.

Looking Ahead

As European cities increase investment in sustainable urban transport, the demand for intelligent public access systems like our totems continues to rise. We are currently exploring new projects with Nextbike and similar platforms in other regions and remain committed to driving the future of smart mobility.
