DMA Dupasquier Groupe

What DMA Dupasquier Groupe does

DMA Dupasquier Groupe is a privately held, multi-modal regional transportation group headquartered in Maidiéres, Grand Est, France, operating continuously since 1925. The group is organized into three operating divisions: DMA (Transport de Voyageurs), which provides scheduled coach services including school transport, regional lines under the Fluo Grand Est and Réseau Le Bus networks, corporate shuttles, and chartered coach services; DMS (Transport Sanitaire), an alliance of eight healthcare transport companies delivering ambulance, taxi, and VSL (light medical vehicle) services across the Thionville, Piennes, Briey, and Nancy sectors within the French health insurance (CPAM) reimbursement framework; and Diapason Transport, a specialized VTC, shuttle, and PMR (mobility-reduced persons) operator acquired in February 2026 with a fleet of approximately 50 vehicles seating 4 to 9 passengers.

The company's core technology base is operational rather than software-led: a multi-modal fleet of coaches, ambulances, taxis, VSL vehicles, and shuttle vans deployed across seven regional offices in Grand Est departments 10, 52, 54, and 57. Digital touchpoints are limited to Weezevent online ticketing for the Lorraine Airport shuttle service and email-based quote requests; there is no proprietary platform, mobile app, or AI/ML-driven dispatch system. The group operates within the French public service delegation (DSP) framework, executing contracts awarded by regional and intercommunal authorities and providing employee transport for La Poste to its Pagny lès Goin platform.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: multi-year public transport delegation contracts (subscription/recurring), direct consumer ticket sales for airport and TGV shuttle services (transaction-based), health transport billings routed through the French CPAM system (recurring), and corporate/private hire services (professional services). Customer relationships concentrate on government entities — notably Région Grand Est, Communauté de Communes du Bassin de Pont à Mousson, and ST2B — with La Poste as the largest named enterprise account. Pricing is quote-based for most services and not publicly disclosed.

• Jussieu Secours: National French ambulance and medical transport network operating ambulance, VSL and taxi-sanitaire services across many regions. Directly comparable to DMA Dupasquier's DMS division alliance of 8 healthcare transport companies.
• Courriers Automobiles Pilard: Independent French regional coach/bus operator in western France running scheduled regional lines, school transport and occasional shuttle services. Comparable size and business mix to DMA Dupasquier's DMA division.
• Verney (Transdev): Historic French regional coach operator in western France with similar interurban coach, school transport and charter activities. Now part of Transdev but retained as a regional brand analogous to DMA Dupasquier's positioning.
