Vay and ioki are teaming up for world’s first remotely driven on-demand service in public transport

(Frankfurt/Berlin, 15 February, 2024)
• Leading remote driving (teledriving) company Vay and ioki, market leader for on-demand technology in public transportation (ridepooling), have sealed their cooperation
• Together, they aim to combine teledriving and ridepooling to launch the first teledriven on-demand service in public transport
• A powerful digital solution to driver shortages in the public transport sector: Reducing costs and increasing efficiency and availability of flexible public transport

The aim of the cooperation is to jointly identify new fields of digitisation and demand-responsive transport for Deutsche Bahn and thus to expand the DB portfolio with additional, innovative services. As a mobility as a service provider, ioki offers the smart platform, DB Regio Bus acts as the operator that ultimately carries out the transport services on the road

Guido Verhoefen, Head of Marketing and Business Development at DB Regio Bus, and Benjamin Pfeifer, Head of Sales & Business Development at ioki, sweetened the afternoon for their colleagues in Frankfurt’s Stephensonstraße to kick off the cooperation: With an ice cream van from the Mayence-based ice cream manufacturer N’Eis they made ice cream lovers’ hearts beat faster – whether a classic with “nougat crisp”, a bit more daring with “creamy caramel fleur de sel” or with a regional taste in the form of “Äppelwoi” [traditional Frankfurt cider], there truly was something for everyone and the activity a complete success.

“I am delighted that ioki and DB Regio Bus will cooperate more closely in the future and that we will be able to benefit from our synergies even more effectively,” says Guido Verhoefen, Head of Marketing and Business Development at DB Regio Bus. “We are convinced that our partnership offers completely new opportunities to bring more mobility on the roads with less traffic. In addition, we were able to give our colleagues a little goody – what else do we want?” adds Benjamin Pfeifer, Head of Sales & Business Development at ioki.
