From ambition to action: it could perfectly summarize the journey that a sustainable mobility startup has to take these days, and quickly.
Here are 5 that can do their part to transform the future of ours transport, each with its own particular connotation.
Fight against climate change and air pollution
GBatteries, Canadian startup based in Ottawa, which is developing ultra-fast charging technology based on lithium-ion batteries. It promises to recharge batteries in minutes, not hours, competing with the time it normally takes to fill up with petrol. Such as? Proprietary hardware and algorithms, and processes at lower temperatures. To find out more, here is the official website.
Multimodal mobility
ONO, a German startup based in Berlin that offers clean and sustainable, as well as very eccentric, transport solutions for urban areas. One vehicle in particular caught my attention: it's called PAT, an acronym for Pedal Assisted Transporter, and it looks like a cabinet on wheels. I'm a little curious, a little I wonder how the hell he does curves. If you want to know more, here is the site.
Safe and accessible mobility
N-Vibe, a French startup that has created vibrating GPS bracelets for people who are blind or have low vision. An app and two bracelets that are activated to "direct" your journey along problem-free routes. Brilliant in its spartan simplicity.
Global transportation more efficient
Everty, a sustainable mobility startup based in Sydney that has developed an innovative charging software for electric vehicles. A sort of ecosystem that includes everything from mechanisms for connecting charging stations and cars to management programs to eliminate drivers' downtime and guarantee profits for station owners. Their system could become the paradigm of how to refuel. To find out more, here is the site.
Saving resources
Addonics, a startup based in the UK and Israel that provides rechargeable batteries with totally redesigned architecture, as well as a new manufacturing method that enriches the batteries with a 3D “metal fabric”. 200% more life, 200% more capacity, 50% charging times.
Sustainable mobility is the key to a better future, and these startups can be a source of new and concrete solutions.
