This transaction brings together more than 150,000 monthly active carpoolers, over 11 million journeys made each year, and a network of more than 250 local authorities and 1,500 corporate partners. It will enable Karos to enhance its capacity to innovate and invest and accelerate the rollout of its services in France and across Europe. For BlaBlaCar, this transaction reflects its strategy to focus its investments and innovation efforts on the development of its global platform. The group is therefore continuing to focus on its core business, long-distance carpooling, while accelerating its international expansion. Already operating in 21 countries, BlaBlaCar announced plans in June 2026 to launch in 20 new markets across South America, Eastern and Southern Europe, Southeast Asia and Morocco. This expansion notably leverages artificial intelligence to accelerate the localization of its platform and the rollout of its operations. Having established itself as a leading player in the sector, BlaBlaCar Daily is joining a company exclusively dedicated to daily carpooling, with an already well-established presence in France and several European countries. BlaBlaCar will also remain a close partner to Karos, supporting its continued growth. **August Debouzy team**: Antoine Ricol (Partner), Audrey Thomas (Counsel) and Hortense Coulon (Associate) on Corporate/M&A matters; Diane Reboursier (Partner) on Employment Law matters; Mathilde Saltiel (Partner) and Maeva Ammel (Associate) on Competition Law matters; Alexandra Berg Moussa (Partner) and Thibaut Amourette (Associate) on Contract Law matters; Pierre-Olivier Ally (Counsel) and Inès Bouzayen (Associate) on Intellectual Property matters; and Florence Chafiol (Partner) and Robin Nini (Senior Associate) on Data Protection matters.
