New partnership: UTA – TRAVIS
Who hasn’t seen them? The unmistakable red and white pentagonal-shaped signs while driving to a fuel or service station? Well, we have, frequently enough. Obviously, we are referring to the UTA sign, which always assures drivers of an easy and cashless payment in the blink of an eye. We are delighted to announce that, as of today, UTA and TRAVIS are officially partners!
As a result, all of our 1,750+ service partners in Europe may now accept the UTA card as a new payment option—and all UTA customers can now find services like truck washes, tank cleaning, truck parking, and repairs at an additional 1,750 service partners in 17 European countries and settle them cashlessly or via an online booking. All of our service stations have already been integrated into the UTA Station Finder smartphone app, which selects the fastest route based on current fuel prices and the services offered.
Carsten Bettermann, CEO at UTA Edenred, about the brand new partnering up: “For transport companies and freight forwarders, the time factor is crucial. They are always faced with the challenge of finding suitable service locations across Europe and integrating them into their route planning. Thanks to the cooperation with TRAVIS Road Services, we can now offer them access to an even more comprehensive acceptance network for vehicle services, which includes a total of around 73,000 stations in Europe. This saves time, expensive detours and avoids unnecessary downtime in day-to-day business.”
Jochem de Graaf, COO at TRAVIS Road Services, is also convinced of the benefits of the cooperation: “UTA Edenred is one of Europe’s leading mobility service providers. In our mutual search to offer transport companies and road service providers even more value and convenience, a collaboration could not stay behind. Besides an enriched network of service locations, UTA Edenred customers now have instant access to TRAVIS Road Services’ booking platform, to effortlessly find, book and settle the desired road services.”
