51% Mundys, 49% Partners Group
Telepass S.p.A. is an Italian company operating in the field of app-based mobility services for urban and extra-urban areas, to create an ecosystem of services that offers individuals and companies an increasing number of options for flexible, safe and sustainable integrated mobility.
The business model, which has guided the evolution of Telepass from the role of leading company in electronic toll services to that of operator of an integrated mobility ecosystem (Mobility As A Service) thanks to the development of "data-driven" technological services accessible through a single app, has become an example of innovation recognized by Harvard Business School and studied abroad.
With a 35% market share at European level, Telepass is also known as a company active in the management, marketing, and collection of automatic freeway toll payment systems. On the strength of this position of excellence and experience in the mobility sector, Telepass is building an increasingly complete ecosystem of additional services linked to new forms of mobility. It currently offers over 30 mobility services, such as cashless payments for fuel, parking, cabs and shared mobility services, insurance products, electric vehicle rental, payment of blue lines and even the Ski pass service: all available through a single app.
As a mobility pioneer, Telepass continues to renew its commitment to free up time and facilitate people's freedom of movement, expanding its offer, investing in cutting-edge start-ups and guaranteeing access to its services throughout Europe, so that every journey is truly a borderless experience.
