BEIJING – Link Motion Inc., a smart car and smart ride company, announced that it has reached a new business cooperation agreement with Fliggy, the travel agency subsidiary of e-commerce conglomerate Alibaba Group.
Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Link Motion will serve as the first supplier to Fliggy’s “smart scenic spot” project in Hangzhou, which aims to drive traffic to popular tourist locations while integrating offline activities such as eating, traveling and entertainment into smart internet-connected screens, such as those inside Link Motion’s smart ride vehicles. The Company previously obtained the necessary online certification and registration to commercialize its Smart Ride business.
Fliggy has agreed to promote and drive its users who purchase tickets to Hangzhou to Link Motion’s smart ride service from its mobile application. As part of the “smart scenic spot” project, Link Motion will initially provide its smart ride service to the three most popular attractions in Hangzhou, Songcheng, Huanglong, and Xixi National Wetland Park, which collectively attract more than 60% of all visitors to the city. Link Motion will leverage its technology-enabled ridesharing service to interface riders from Fliggy’s large established userbase with popular local restaurants, shopping and other entertainment options in the vicinity of the initial three “smart scenic spots“.
“We are pleased to partner with a company as innovative and forward-looking as Fliggy,” said Tang Duo, Executive Vice President and Head of Link Motion’s Smart Ride Business. “Fliggy’s large, established user base expects a high-quality, seamless travel experience, making Fliggy an ideal partner for our revolutionary smart ride service. I look forward to continued business cooperation with Fliggy, AutoNavi and other Alibaba Group companies as we continue to roll out our Smart Ride services.”
