What HB-Care does

HB-Care A/S (legal entity; CVR 65864010) is a Denmark-domiciled, privately held special-transport operator providing authorized passenger transportation, known in Danish as visiteret specialkørsel, on behalf of municipalities, regions and traffic companies. The company transports citizens with physical disabilities and special needs to schools, activity centers and rehabilitation facilities, elderly citizens to rehabilitation and day centers, and school and kindergarten children with specialized transport requirements. It positions itself as one of Denmark's leading providers in this regulated segment, with 40+ years of operating history, 500+ permanently employed and specially trained drivers, and a fleet of 420+ Mercedes minibuses (predominantly Sprinter M2 vehicles with capacity for 20 passengers and up to 5 wheelchairs, plus 60 newly added M1 vehicles for 8 passengers, and the first Mercedes eVito electric buses entering service in January 2026). Operations are supported by three owned workshops (Karlslunde, Tilst, Tinglev) with Mercedes-Benz diagnostic equipment and a centralized planning system.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through managed-services contracts with Danish public authorities, awarded through formal municipal procurement under the Danish Service Act §117 visitation framework. Pricing is contract-negotiated rather than publicly disclosed, and services are billed to municipalities that refer citizens to HB-Care. The go-to-market blends enterprise field sales to public-sector buyers with a direct-to-consumer booking portal (booking.hbbus.dk) used for respite transport (Aflastningskørsel). The buyer base spans all Danish regions (Zealand, Funen, Southern Jutland, Central/Eastern Jutland), with the head office in Glostrup and regional offices in eleven locations nationwide. Since 2025 the company has operated as an independent entity under the ownership of the German-Swedish private equity firm Triton, following its spin-off from Moove Group after Uber's acquisition of Moove Group and Dantaxi in Denmark.
