City traffic and pollution levels have led many people to opt for other more sustainable transportation alternatives, but until some time ago only a few had access to them. However, with the rise of mobility companies and the arrival of sharing, the range of possibilities has opened up. From car rental on car sharing platforms such as Ubeeqo, to electric motorcycles and bicycles. These startups are conquering the most important cities.  Coinciding with the European mobility week, we wanted to review the startups that are working in this field. They all have in common the high growth, the commitment to innovation and the goal of reducing pollution produced by traditional means of transport.  

Startups committed to the environment

  In addition to the numerous platforms and applications, startups that have been created to develop innovative and sustainable cars have entered the game. Such as, Ecochea company from Extremadura that contributes to the energy transformation, also betting on the circular economy. Founded by José Mendoza Milara and Mario Fernández Núñez, they transform gasoline vehicles into electric vehicles, extending the average life of the car by 10 years.  This is also the case of Ozone Drive, a startup that is committed to sustainability and offers electric vehicles in tourist areas of the Mediterranean.  

Sustainability on two wheels

  The world of electric motorcycles and electric bicycles is playing a very important role in big cities, they are silent, agile and sustainable. Within this sector we have Acciona, Scutum, Moma Bikes, Skuty, RayVolt, Bibóo or Ebike 75. Electric scooters have not lagged behind and citizens are increasingly betting on this means of transport. For example, companies such as SmartGypro or RayCool, specialized in them. This type of transport allows to cross cities in an agile and sustainable way.  At Aticco we are also committed to sustainable transportation, offering our coworkers the option of using electric scooters free of charge so that they can travel easily and sustainably to meetings with clients or suppliers.
