When station-to-station becomes door-to-door in Spain

Setting up a MaaS platform is one thing – establishing it as the backbone of commuters’ and leisure travellers’ mobility choices is another. Watch this webinar to learn from Renfe, Siemens Mobility and NTT DATA about (one of) the biggest public-driven MaaS projects in the world.

In addition to the 47 million citizens that call the country their home, 84 million tourists travel through Spain every year. The country has one of the world’s largest foreign tourism industries and, therefore, a high demand for smart and sustainable mobility concepts.

In Summer 2021, Renfe, the national railway company of Spain, awarded Siemens Mobility and NTT Data with a five-year contract to develop and operate a countrywide, intelligent Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platform.

The comprehensive digital mobility platform, named dōcō, will integrate various modes of public and shared transport – such as train, metro, bus, taxi, e-moped and scooter sharing – so that passengers can easily identify and directly plan, book and ride the trip option that best meets their needs. It will facilitate the shift to more sustainable travel by providing passengers with attractive alternatives to the private car on every route. The platform will soon be available all across Spain, including metropolitan areas like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao and Sevilla.

In this webinar, Maximilian Kaiser from Siemens Mobility and Pablo Vázquez from NTT DATA will share and explain:

  • The main objectives of the strategic project
  • The ecosystem and stakeholders of the MaaS project
  • How the project is planned and executed
  • How the platform is structured from a technical perspective
  • The roll-out plan and roadmap
  • The communication and marketing strategy
  • Challenges and lessons learned.
