Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM) announced the launch of AutoKinex, an OEM-ready in-vehicle commerce platform that integrates payment technology for mobility services such as tolling, road usage charging, parking, fueling, and EV charging.
Verra Mobility partnered with Stellantis to provide AutoKinex to drivers of 2021 model-year and newer Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram vehicles in the U.S.

Drivers can learn more and verify whether their vehicle manufacturer has enabled the AutoKinex platform by visiting autokinex.com. For all other automotive brands, drivers can enroll to use the service for automated toll payments without in-vehicle display notifications.
AutoKinex enables secure transactions directly from the car, without additional hardware or mobile apps. Payments are processed instantly and securely, and real-time charges are displayed in the vehicle (if enabled), keeping transactions transparent.
Drivers of compatible vehicles can pass through most toll plazas nationwide without stopping or having to track down local tolling authority websites to register and pay. If users frequent gated tolling locations that require a transponder, Verra Mobility will provide one at no charge.
AutoKinex verifies the location of the vehicle in relation to the toll site, matches that to the tolling agency’s rates and automatically pays the toll on behalf of the driver. Drivers will see a confirmation of the toll rate in the vehicle’s infotainment screen, if enabled.
“With AutoKinex, we’re improving the driving experience and simplifying payments to enable drivers to pay for everyday services, such as tolls, directly from their vehicle,” said Stacey Moser, executive vice president of Verra Mobility’s Commercial Services business. “AutoKinex also provides automakers with a scalable revenue channel by embedding today’s essential services and payments in the vehicle, paving the way for future connected mobility experiences. We are proud to partner with Stellantis as the first automaker to bring this groundbreaking connected vehicle service to market.”

Verra Mobility piloted AutoKinex with hundreds of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram drivers throughout the U.S. AutoKinex is available through the branded owner mobile apps and www.autokinex.com/stellantis. Enrollment is free and new users receive their first 30 days at no cost.
AutoKinex offers a plug-and-play solution. By consolidating multiple mobility services into a single, commerce-ready, and intuitive platform, AutoKinex attempts to eliminate the complexity of managing disparate tools.
