Ecov

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.
