KPMG International announced its global membership of the MaaS Alliance, a global public-private partnership established to build the foundation for a common approach to Mobility-as-a-Service* to enable a single, open market and accelerate the development of MaaS services.

According to Richard Threlfall, KPMG's Global Head of Infrastructure: “KPMG has a key role to play in helping bring together public authorities and private businesses to debate, shape and work together to drive the implementation of MaaS."

“KPMG believes the rapid implementation of the triple technologies of electrification, automation and MaaS in the transport industry has the potential to deliver huge social and economic benefits.”

KPMG is bringing to the MaaS Alliance the active participation of colleagues from KPMG member firms in Australia, Germany, The Netherlands, the US, and Japan which recently established the Mobility Institute of Japan to bring together influential players in key areas of MaaS and the automotive industry.

“We are pleased to welcome KPMG as an associated partner of the MaaS Alliance," said Jacob Bangsgaard, MaaS Alliance President and ERTICO CEO. “KPMG's knowledge of the transport, infrastructure and automotive sectors, together with strong client relationships and broad geographic reach will provide a valuable contribution to our work in developing business models and accelerate new, sustainable mobility solutions for individuals and cities”.
