Siemens Mobility will sign a contract with the Dutch joint venture RiVier (NS, HTM and RET) to develop an intelligent "Mobility as a Service" (MaaS) platform for nationwide deployment. The system, which is expected to be available in fall, will allow mobility providers to combine intermodal trip planning, booking and payment in one app. The technological core of the MaaS platform will be provided by Hacon and eos.uptrade - subsidiaries of Siemens Mobility.
“Creating the perfect passenger experience requires cooperation across the industry. It is inspiring to see how NS, RET and HTM are joining forces to make the mobility landscape in the Netherlands even more attractive. We at Hacon and eos.uptrade are very proud to bring our know-how and solutions to this trail-blazing project”, says Michael Frankenberg, CEO of Hacon and Head of Intermodal Solutions at Siemens Mobility.
The platform is being developed as an open ecosystem that can be connected to existing apps from the MaaS providers NS, RET and HTM. The initiators call on other mobility providers to join so that traveling by public transport, bicycle sharing, car, scooter, and taxi, can be better connected and more convenient.
