National Express Transport Solutions, the private hire subsidiary of National Express, and Liftango, a leading technology provider, have teamed up to introduce Trio, a state-of-the-art “passenger transport technology” aimed to shape the future of shared mobility.
Trio offers a fusion of National Express’ expertise in transport management and scale, with Liftango’s data-driven technology platform. Its features encompass demand-responsive transport (DRT) technology, a passenger application, and a detailed management information system. The system leverages advanced modelling techniques to scrutinise “travel patterns and transport inequity”, crafting a bespoke solution tailored to its clients’ needs.
The technology embraces the brand’s ethos with three stages of an all-encompassing, customisable product solution. It includes sustainable fleet operations, dynamic scheduling optimisation, and real-time ticketing and booking technology. Trio also provides its users with a dedicated account servicing team, enhancing customer experience.
Tony Taylor, Sales and Business Development Director at National Express Transport Solutions, says the solution will play a pivotal role in catering to the growing demand for efficient, sustainable transport solutions. “As leaders in offering fully managed coach and bus transport services, we recognise a mounting demand from clients seeking a smart, turnkey solution to support their transport needs,” he adds. “Our partnership with Liftango enables us to leverage innovative technology to build tailored, efficient, and sustainable passenger travel experiences hosted on a single, intelligent platform.”
Kevin Orr, CEO of Liftango, adds: “We’re thrilled to partner with National Express Transport Solutions, bringing our technology to the heart of its innovative passenger transport solution, Trio. We’re driven to broaden transport options for more people, and we’re eager to utilise the scale and transport management prowess of National Express to elevate this formidable partnership in the corporate market.”
