Maasstad Regie Centrale (MRC) from Rotterdam, and two taxi entrepreneurs from the Haarlemmermeer and Amsterdam regions are joining forces and are making a new start as Travel Electric Netherlands. The company closed in November for a second time in a few years bankrupt. When last Friday we received a phone call from Rotterdam about the direction they want to take in terms of automation, it became clear that the new owners have high ambitions. 

Initially, all activities in Amsterdam will be continued unchanged under the new name to guarantee current customers that the service will continue as they were used to. Sjaak de Winter, MRC's head of strategy, states that they want to take transport to a higher level. The Rotterdam company that uses Pitane Mobility software for all its activities is studying the possibilities of integrating everything on the same platform. To achieve this, the company is investing in technology and the implementation of GATE 12 at its control center.

Last year, the Rotterdam transport company Maasstad Regie Centrale won the first parcel of student transport in Drechtsteden for the municipalities of Barendrecht, Hoeksche Waard, Capelle aan den IJssel, Nissewaard, Ridderkerk and Rotterdam. It is clear that the company is working hard with the 'tender team' and will become apparent in the coming months. The company, which has its roots in Rotterdam, is increasingly focusing on other areas. That is why it wants to turn Travel Electric, which now only operates in Amsterdam, into Travel Electric Netherlands.
