ryd GmbH (formerly ThinxNet GmbH) is a mobility technology company founded in 2014 and headquartered in Munich. With around 120 employees, the company operates one of the leading connected car platforms in Europe and specializes in cashless in-car payment solutions. Its core product, ryd pay, enables drivers to pay for refueling, electric vehicle charging (EV charging), and car washes directly from their vehicle or via a mobile app. Integration is achieved either through the ryd app or directly via the vehicle's infotainment system. For older vehicles, the company offers the ryd box, an OBD2 connector that retrofits telematics functions and smart connectivity. Another strategic focus is ryd fleet, a digital payment operating system for fleet operators developed in cooperation with Mastercard. This solution replaces physical fuel cards with purely digital management of all vehicle-related expenses for fuel, electricity, and care. ryd cooperates with over 145 gas station brands and provides automotive manufacturers with the technological infrastructure for secure in-vehicle payment processes. The offering is aimed at private customers, fleet operators, and automotive partners in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and other European countries.
