Journeo plc
("Journeo, "Company"
or "the Group")
Contract award in
Denmark
Journeo plc (AIM: JNEO) a leading provider of
information systems and technical services to transport operators
and local authorities, is pleased to announce that its Danish
subsidiary, Journeo AS has been awarded a contract with Umove
following their award of a public transport contract with
Trafikselskabet Movia.
The initial contract period runs for 6-years
through to 2031, but this may be extended by two 4-year optional
extensions to 2039.
Trafikselskabet Movia is the
public transport agency responsible for
buses and local railways
in Zealand. It does not own any
buses and trains itself, but pays fleet operator subcontractors,
such as Umove to run them.
Umove was founded in 2013 and has grown to
become Denmark's largest privately owned public transport operator
with 650 buses and 1,600 employees. Umove won Movia's A23 tender
and will operate over 230,000 timetable hours.
Journeo will deliver a range of Intelligent
Transport Systems and services on 58 buses including fleet
management software, Voice over IP communications, real-time
destination signage and passenger infotainment
software.
Engineering and installation works worth
approximately £0.5m in revenues will be completed next year, prior
to the buses entering revenue service in October 2025. The software
licenses and recurring monthly SaaS revenues are expected to
generate a further £0.4m during the initial contract
period.
Russ Singleton, Chief Executive Journeo said:
"I am delighted that Umove have selected our technology, software
and services for the 58 electric buses that will operate in
Ringsted, Kastrup and the Greater Copenhagen area. This award
builds on the existing relationship with Umove where our Danish
team already provide similar services on over 430 Umove
buses".
A digital copy of this announcement
will be available on the Group's website: www.journeo.com.
