50.000 e-cars through #socialleasing have been ordered in France. Making the program a terrific success! Two specific things I find highly interesting about this: 1. Germany tried pushing the transformation to e-cars by subsidizing the rich (and hence SUVs). But France is inviting those with lower income and driving more than 8.000 km a year. 2. Consider this an experiment for #Circularity. We must incentivize humans through specific business models in order to adopt change. Going for the masses and easing their "pain" could just be the perfect plan to spend tax-money towards the transformation for a #CircularEconomy. Let's see how this further develops... #greentransition https://lnkd.in/eHSTUzVE

Interesting article about EVs as company cars in Belgium. Many remarks are valid not only for Belgium but for many other countries as well. Not only consumers but also companies need affordable cars...

💚🤍❤️ GRUGLIASCO - A VISION FOR THE FUTURE ITALIAN MOBILITY SECTOR 💚🤍❤️. At the Geneva Motor Show we met Gianfranco Pizzuto, CEO of Automobili Estrema. In addition to leaving us his impression on the miniature edition and the Chinese advance, Pizzuto took stock of his decidedly visionary project: acquiring the property where Maserati had its headquarters to launch the production of premium electric cars in Italy. The property was put up for sale by Stellantis last year. “To give a future to the former Bertone and Maserati factory we are working on three objectives: the acquisition of the property, a partnership for the technological platform and the search for financiers, especially foreign ones. The relaunch of the Grugliasco site cannot only go through the production of Fulminea, which is our electric super car. We have to fill a 210,000 square meter site! So we are here at the Geneva Motor Show not only to see who is present, but also to have a series of important meetings, above all to define a platform that allows us to produce an electric Hyper SUV that can position itself as a target price below Fulminea, but above the premium cars of the various brands”. There are people - willing and able - to bring about the much needed change in Italy. These “people” can also Connect with the technology and the IP that will accelerate the Italian industrial renaissance and make the Made In Italy competitive worldwide once again! Where the OEM’s falter, someone has to pick up the pieces in Italy, someone has to bring the remaining Industrious and financially capable forces together in Italy - to create a New beginning for the mobility sector! Gianfranco Pizzuto is the one to do it - with your🫵help!. Together we have to “Wake-up!” The sleeping giant, that is the industry Power of Italy🇮🇪⚡️. Here is the list of our priorities: ❗️1- find investors/financiers ❗️2- find companies that are interested in coming to carry out activities at the hub by signing LOIs which, once the real estate purchase is finalized, are transformed into rental contracts.

#Toyota taxis are a common sight in many cities in Europe and beyond, and the rise in low emissions zones drive the need for eco-friendlier taxis, including Toyota hybrids. Here's an example in Spain, where Toyota is reinforcing its position as leading taxi vehicle provider, with 60% of taxi sales in 2023. https://lnkd.in/eQPZTrNV

BluSmart and Citroën India are teaming up to bring eco-friendly cars to the streets! They've signed a big agreement to get 4000 electric cars called ë-C3 EVs in the next year. The first batch of 125 cars was sent off from BluSmart's charging hub in Bangalore. This is a big deal because it shows they're serious about helping the environment by offering clean transportation. These ë-C3 electric cars are pretty cool. They can go up to 320 kilometers on a single charge, which is great for city driving. And when they need a charge-up, they can get from 10% to 80% in less than an hour! Plus, they're safe too, with features like airbags and special brakes to save energy. The cars are designed for a comfy ride too, with lots of space inside and a big trunk for luggage. This makes them perfect for services like airport transfers, which BluSmart specializes in. So, with BluSmart and Citroën working together, it looks like the future of city travel is getting cleaner and more convenient!

An interesting observation: no matter how much car manufacturers have wished for the success of their e-bike projects, they have never really managed to sell them in the past. But why? A $2,000 price tag means that the car dealer, who works on commission, is not fully committed to the sale, especially when selling an SUV will bring in much more money. Plus, of course, car dealers know that it's difficult to make money servicing e-bikes without oil changes and expensive inspections. So distribution and after sales clearly remain a major challenges for all manufacturers of light, modern and electric vehicles that our cities so urgently need. #ebikes #urbanmobility #sustainability
