Who We Are

International Expertise Meets Local Insight

Turas Mobility Services is a joint venture between VINCI Highways (a subsidiary of VINCI Concessions) and Abtran (the largest Irish-owned business process management provider). We joined forces in 2019 to support Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in managing and improving free-flow movements and customer services for Ireland’s M50 motorway.

By blending international best practice with local knowledge, we are helping TII to meet the current and future needs of this increasingly vital link in the country’s transport system.

As a world leader in road mobility, VINCI Highways brings unequalled experience in infrastructure development and operations to our team. This, coupled with Abtran’s award-winning customer service expertise, makes us the ideal partnership to fulfil TII’s contract – for both our client and all those who use the M50.

An extensive transition process is now under way, and we will assume full responsibility for operations in early 2021.

Stronger Together

Drawing on the resources of our parent companies, our team embodies a wealth of experience in mobility services and customer care – and our collective skills make us stronger than the sum of our parts.

It is this combined capability that enables our team to design, plan and deliver fresh approaches to existing mobility/transport challenges. And it allows us to anticipate and prepare for those that lie ahead.
