Two Memoranda of Understanding consolidate the collaboration between IVECO BUS and Via. The use cases and the two partners identified with the Circular Economy Lab.
The Circular Economy Lab played a crucial role in supporting IVECO BUS in identifying use cases and strategic partners for the co-design and implementation of projects based on Demand Responsive Transport technology. Through precise mapping and targeted engagement at the national level, the CE Lab identified contexts and entities among universities, institutions, and corporate bodies most suitable for collaborating on the creation of innovative digital mobility solutions.
The first Memorandum of Understanding pertains to the project with Politecnico di Milano, aimed at implementing a new on-demand transportation solution to facilitate the mobility of students and faculty members. The second memorandum was signed with Humanitas to promote accessible and convenient mobility for hospital employees and students.
The goal is to offer an innovative and flexible mobility solution through an easily implementable and customizable offering. These two specific use cases and partners were identified in collaboration with the Circular Economy Lab.
Marco Franza, Customer Service Manager for Buses, stated, “These agreements demonstrate IVECO BUS's ambition to expand its service offerings and explore an integrated approach to transportation solutions. With Via, we are working to provide passengers with innovative support services that will offer them the best mobility experience.”
“We are excited to work alongside IVECO BUS, Politecnico di Milano, and Humanitas to bring transportation innovation to Politecnico di Milano and the Humanitas communities,” said Anthea Greco, Country Manager for Italy, Spain, and Portugal at Via. “Together, we will leverage our cutting-edge technology and expertise to support the mobility needs of students, faculty, and staff at Politecnico di Milano and Humanitas, while simultaneously reducing congestion, improving air quality, and overall accessibility within the city. This initiative marks the beginning of what we believe will be a series of impactful projects aimed at improving urban and corporate transportation.”
