Our vision is: “We plan and optimise everything which moves people and goods worldwide. Integrated and in real-time.” Therefore, we deliver cutting-edge software solutions for traffic planning, transport logistics and new mobility to cities and industry. PTV ensures that people and goods arrive at their destinations safe and sound, and on time.
Today we can already analyse and demonstrate the impact of traffic on our environment. At PTV Group we can show and model the current status quo as well as future mobility scenarios and the consequences of different measures. If we want to establish sustainability in cities, we have to find a common sense between the different aspects.
Every city has to define the rule set and framework for its future: which mode will be the favourite one? How can alternative mobility be integrated? What can be done to improve air quality? How do we organise urban logistics and last-mile delivery? The challenge is to find a suitable set up which is fit for the future. The good news is, even today you can plan and simulate different sustainable scenarios and eventually, find the right decisions for the future.
There is still a long way to go. There are still significant political and economic borders to overcome.
We take a holistic approach that integrates all aspects of traffic, transport and logistics to create and promote sustainable mobility. We have unique know-how, a start-up mindset, we work locally on a global scale and supply four decades of experience in regard to optimising traffic and transport logistics. And, with our shareholder Porsche Automobil Holding SE, we have a financially strong partner behind us.
