Moving Tech Innovations (MTI), the operator of the world’s largest open infrastructure for shared mobility, has announced its acquisition of the Netherlands-based Automicle Holding BV, marking MTI’s formal expansion into the European market. MTI currently powers leading open mobility platforms such as Namma Yatri, Bharat Taxi, and Chennai One. The collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of locally managed, open mobility systems across Europe.

European cities are increasingly reevaluating their mobility ecosystems, emphasizing transparency, sustainability, multi-modal integration, and long-term control over data and policy decisions. Accessible and inclusive transportation is now central to urban innovation. Automicle was founded to meet these challenges, offering digital parking and public mobility solutions built on European regulatory knowledge and close engagement with local stakeholders.

MTI brings to Europe a mature, population-scale mobility platform that has facilitated over 150 million trips and generated more than €250 million in commission-free earnings for drivers. Designed as digital public infrastructure, the platform offers fully customizable, end-to-end solutions for ride-hailing, micro-mobility, parking, integrated public transport, and specialized services such as ambulance and senior transport. Fully compliant with GDPR, data localization, and local ownership standards, the platform allows European cities to deploy reliable, cost-effective mobility systems with confidence.

Jef Heyse and Mohit Mishra, Automicle co-founders, stated: “This marks a major milestone for Automicle and European mobility. By combining our regional expertise with MTI’s proven infrastructure, we can roll out locally governed systems that create meaningful, scalable impact while upholding European values and governance standards.”

Magizhan and Shan MS, MTI co-founders, added: “Europe and India are aligned around a shared vision: digital infrastructure is most effective when it is open, transparent, and developed collaboratively with cities and communities. Together, we can build mobility systems that are dependable, affordable, and designed to endure.”

Both companies operate on open standards, including the Beckn Protocol and TOMP API, enabling smooth integration across operators while avoiding vendor lock-in. Advanced discussions are already underway in several European countries, as cities seek forward-looking mobility solutions based on open protocols, local ownership, and long-term sustainability.

Trimble has revealed that its advanced positioning solutions will play a key role in powering the navigation and driver-assistance features of the upcoming Lucid Gravity. With the integration of Trimble RTX and ProPoint Go technologies, Lucid Gravity becomes the first electric vehicle equipped with a robust positioning system capable of delivering centimeter-level precision—even in locations such as tunnels, parking structures, and crowded urban areas where conventional GPS signals struggle.

The partnership introduces a higher standard of driving assurance by combining satellite-based data with six-axis inertial sensors to achieve exceptional accuracy. While traditional automotive navigation systems often allow for positioning errors measured in meters, Trimble’s solution refines that margin to just a few centimeters, enabling precise lane identification and vehicle positioning.

“This partnership represents a fundamental evolution in how vehicles interpret their surroundings,” said Olivier Casabianca, Vice President of Advanced Positioning at Trimble. “Lucid Gravity is the first electric vehicle to fully adopt Trimble’s sensor-fusion technology. Our goal goes beyond basic navigation—we’re enabling consistent, dependable driving performance in some of the world’s most demanding conditions.”

Working seamlessly in the background, Trimble’s technology enhances five critical elements of the Lucid Gravity driving experience:

Availability
Trimble’s positioning technology will be included as standard equipment on all new Lucid Gravity models starting in late January 2026. Vehicles already in circulation will gain access to these features through an over-the-air software update, instantly enhancing their navigation and positioning capabilities.
