India-based Moving Tech Innovations has acquired Netherlands-based Automicle Holding BV, marking its official entry into the European mobility market and a major step in its global expansion strategy. The acquisition aims to bring Moving Tech’s zero-commission, community-led mobility model successfully deployed in India through platforms like Namma Yatri to cities across Europe. The company plans to roll out open, city-first mobility systems that prioritise affordability, transparency, and local governance. Unlike traditional ride-hailing platforms that rely on high commissions, Moving Tech’s model enables direct driver-to-consumer connections, improving driver earnings while offering more transparent pricing for users. The company has already facilitated over 150 million trips and generated more than ₹2,500 crore in driver earnings without commissions, demonstrating the scalability of its approach. Automicle brings strong European expertise in digital parking systems and integrated public transport solutions, having worked closely with city authorities across the region. The combined capabilities of both companies will help accelerate the adoption of interoperable, open mobility infrastructure across European cities. The partnership is built on open standards such as Beckn Protocol and TOMP APIs, ensuring seamless integration across transport services while avoiding vendor lock-in an increasingly important factor for cities seeking long-term, flexible mobility solutions. This move reflects a broader shift in global urban mobility, where cities are looking for sustainable, locally governed transport systems rather than closed, platform-dominated models. Europe, with its focus on regulation and sustainability, presents a strong market for such open digital infrastructure. The deal also highlights how Indian-built digital public infrastructure models are beginning to scale globally, while European mobility expertise flows back into India creating a two-way innovation bridge between the regions.
