Benteler acquires ioki from Deutsche Bahn to build an integrated platform for autonomous public transport - Sustainable Bus
"cities, transit agencies, and mobility providers gain access to a comprehensive, technologically advanced mobility offering from a single source - spanning vehicles, software, and operations. Data-driven analyses and simulations by ioki, for example, identify potential areas where autonomous vehicles such as the Holon urban can meaningfully complement and enhance public transport. Both the software and the vehicle are scalable and designed to work seamlessly together. This enables municipalities and operators to significantly reduce costs while simplifying the introduction of autonomous mobility services"
"Holon, the autonomous mobility subsidiary of Benteler Group and Tasaru Mobility Investments (Saudi investor) rebranded in 2022, presented its driverless shuttle for the first time at CES 2023 in Las Vegas. and is now preparing for series production and market rollout of its first fully electric autonomous shuttle, the Holon Urban, showcased at UITP Summit in Hamburg in June. It features design by Pininfarina and sees Beep and Mobileye as development partners."
"The transaction, announced on January 5, will bring the leading European provider of software-based mobility solutions into the German-based Benteler Group. Financial details were not disclosed, and closing is expected in the near future. With the acquisition, Holon (Benteler's autonomous vehicles brand), ioki and Benteler Mobility will operate as an integrated structure covering vehicles, software and operations for autonomous mobility. Holon contributes the autonomous Holon Urban shuttle, ioki adds platform, routing and public-transport integration software, while Benteler Mobility provides operational services and fleet financing,"
