PROJECT

Ecov deploys networks of car-sharing routes based on vehicle flows rather than individual drivers, turning cars into public transport. This solution offers an effective transport alternative in suburban or sparsely populated areas, with pick-up times averaging 4 minutes.

 EXPECTED IMPACTS 

  • Ecov’s environmental impact is both direct (journeys avoided) and indirect (demotorisation), all without the need to deploy additional infrastructure or equipment.
  • By offering a cost-effective transport solution, Ecov provides access to collective mobility in areas that currently have none.
  • The solution also enables significant reductions in daily transport budgets: up to 80% for passengers and 40% for drivers.
  • Ecov has also been granted the “mission company” label.
