Ford India and Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) on Friday signed a memorandum of understanding to assess the feasibility of a common digital mobility solution for commuters in the city.
Under the agreement, the automobile company will collaborate and work with the city authorities to analyse Hyderabad’s existing transportation system and help design tech-based mobility solutions by optimising efficiency for transport operators and reducing congestion.
KT Rama Rao, State Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development, said, “The MoU with Ford Motor Company will make commute within the city more convenient for all. We look forward to working with Ford on this mobility platform and future opportunities.”
“As a mobility company, Ford is working with cities to help address growing transportation challenges,” said R Mahadevan, Director, Ford Smart Mobility, India. “Partnering with local development authorities like HMDA and offering technology solutions fine-tuned to the needs of the cities means we can help find new ways to make commuters’ journeys seamless.”
While different modes of public transport such as light rail, metro and buses co-exist in Hyderabad, 800 vehicles are added to the city’s streets each day.
