HACON – A Siemens Company
How can we make the mobility of tomorrow more sustainable, more comfortable and accessible to everyone? Our staff of around 500 employees is driven by these questions in their daily work at Hacon.
For more than 35 years, we have been developing software that helps transport companies optimize processes and make traveling as easy as possible for passengers. Doesn't that get a bit monotonous after all this time? Absolutely not. Because we love the idea that our solutions help establish public transport as a real alternative to the car. To this end, we are constantly developing our portfolio: Mobility as a Service, Travel Information and Ticketing, Operator Business Products or Timetabling and Disposition - our products cover all aspects of intelligent transportation systems.
We link public and private transport, and provide travelers with over 100 million door-to-door route calculations every day. In addition to regional platforms, we also develop nationwide solutions for the Netherlands and Spain, for example. Hacon has been part of Siemens Mobility since 2017 and is headquartered in Hanover.
