Volvo Group

Overview

January 2020 - ongoing. Replaced the previous fixed shuttle routes and timetables with fully demand-responsive travel. Mode shift from commuter-focussed during peaks (home/train station- site) to inter-site transport through the day.

The Problem

Volvo Group required an efficient employee Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) service to reduce the reliance on non-existent parking infrastructure caused by a relocation of staff to a different site.

Volvo conducted a global search of demand-responsive technology providers. Following a shortlisting process, 10 providers were chosen to present their technology and service to Volvo in Gothenburg.

The Solution

• Service simulation and feasibility study
• Full-suite closed-network corporate DRT solution
• Guaranteed advanced bookings + on-demand last-minute booking capabilities

The Results

From these 10 Liftango was selected as technology partner on the basis of:

• Our demonstrated ability to deliver world-class DRT outcomes
• The inbuilt flexibility to support iteration and service optimisation, both at a technology architecture and commercial level
• Our differentiated matching algorithm tech which provides complete passenger confidence in advanced bookings, but allows last minute bookings to be accommodated.
