[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] TMAP Mobility and the freight transportation industry are joining forces to advance the digitalization and platformization of the freight business market.

On the 12th, TMAP Mobility announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Seoul Metropolitan Personal (Freight) Truck Transportation Business Association (Seoul Freight Association) to promote the activation of the TMAP navigation system dedicated to freight trucks. The Seoul Freight Association was established in 1970 and has over 26,000 freight truck members.

This MOU is significant as it lays the foundation for mutual growth through cooperation between the platform company and stakeholders in the freight market. TMAP Mobility aims to digitalize the domestic freight market and improve the rights and interests of association members, while the association will cooperate in the continuous improvement and expansion of the TMAP navigation service for freight trucks, launched at the end of last year, as well as future products.

The TMAP navigation system dedicated to freight trucks provides customized route guidance for 3.6 million freight truck owners nationwide. It avoids roads where driving is prohibited due to truck dimensions such as height and weight restrictions, supporting safe routes to enhance driving convenience and transportation efficiency. Existing TMAP members can use the service simply by registering a profile without additional sign-up.

Information on frequently visited locations by freight truck drivers, such as preferred gas stations and rest areas, is provided along with real-time traffic information and data-based routing. Additionally, the service plans to gradually expand benefits considering the convenience of freight truck drivers, including information on gas stations selling diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) at key locations.

Yang Sungwoo, head of TMAP Mobility MOD, stated, “TMAP Mobility will respect the nature of the industry, pursue mutual growth with stakeholders, and continue to promote the digitalization and platformization of the freight business.”
