The topics of sustainability and electromobility are very present in the society. Many of our bus customers are planning to supplement their fleets with electric buses in the coming period or to convert them entirely to electrically powered vehicles.
Trapeze offers solutions in this field in the areas of planning, scheduling and depot management. In this video, we present how the electric mobility solution can support you in the challenge of a fleet conversion. For this purpose, Trapeze has developed a tool whose algorithm provides you with the necessary information to make the right decisions when converting to electric buses.
Sustainability and electric mobility
The climate targets are clear and many municipalities and cities have already set a date by which they want to be completely climate neutral. This issue also involves public transport. Sooner or later, every bus operator will consider replacing their diesel buses. Trapeze is also at your side for this project. We have a tool in our portfolio that supports you in planning and dispatching.
Switching to an electric bus fleet can be a major challenge. Our team has used their experience with already deployed electric bus fleets to develop an advanced algorithm that quickly and easily calculates important data. Our tool calculates how many buses are needed for which route, when and where how much energy is needed, and how many kilometers are driven. For example, different planning scenarios can be run through, and hypotheses can be easily created and checked. This information supports you on the one hand in planning how to organize the switch to an electric bus fleet, and on the other hand in the daily deployment planning of your e-buses.
The Demand Response Transport (DRT) operations of Trapeze Group Europe in the Nordics, the UK, and Europe is excited to announce a significant milestone in its journey.
On September 25th 2023, the division officially became a separate brand and changed its name to Voyagerr.
Joining the new brand and the name change are PLANit Sweden AB and Malmator AB, also specialists in DRT technology solutions.
The rebranding reflects Voyagerr’s commitment to focusing solely on developing technology solutions for on-demand mobility, tailored to meet the needs of public transport authorities and operators in Europe, the UK, and the Nordics.
“Rebranding as Voyagerr represents a logical development for us, given our heritage of focusing on on-demand mobility technology solutions”, said Christian Holk Christiansen, CEO of Voyagerr, “as Voyagerr, we will continue to provide an end-to-end suite of technology solutions tailored to meet the needs of public transport operators, public transport authorities, and their communities in Europe, the UK, and the Nordics.
Clients can expect an even greater focus on developing our on-demand mobility technology, meeting the needs of this changing sector, and empowering our customers to offer best-in-class on-demand mobility services.”
As part of the Modaxo portfolio, Voyagerr is able to leverage best practices and resources from a wide network of peer businesses.

Trapeze Group Europe, a Modaxo company, is one of a group of partner companies chosen to support the ULTIMO project, funded by the European Union.
The ULTIMO project is intended to promote user-centric sustainable mobility through the large-scale deployment of autonomous vehicles.
Three deployment cities have been identified in Germany, Norway, and Switzerland.
The project, which began in October 2022, is expected to take four years, and involves 23 partners.
As an established specialist provider of IT solutions for public transport, including on demand mobility transportation, Trapeze Group has been chosen as one of the project partners. It will contribute, among other things, to the project’s objective of developing technology solutions supporting seamless integration of vehicles and fleet management into MaaS (Mobility as a Service) and LaaS (Logistics as a Service) systems.
User-centric, end-to-end, on demand journeys
Commenting on the team’s involvement in the project, Christian Erikstrup, Chief Sales Officer for On Demand Mobility Solutions at Trapeze Group in Northern Europe, said: “We are proud to be part of the ULTIMO project, and extremely excited to develop solutions that support sustainable autonomous mobility.
Autonomous mobility has a major role to play in the development of user-centric, end-to-end, on demand journeys. We believe this development will enable public transportation services to increase efficiency and sustainability while elevating the passenger experience.”
