The European Green Deal aims to make the EU climate neutral by 2050, this includes reducing emissions compared to 1990 levels by 55% before 2030.
The shift to low-emission mobility is a central factor in achieving this goal. We need mobility with increased efficiency, vehicles with lower emissions and infrastructure that enables and incentivises modes of transport that are better for the environment.
We do our part by helping companies find and provide mobility solutions that are better for both the environment and their employees.
We help companies and employers make better moves every day so that we can all feel better about tomorrow.
By making our fleets available to employees beyond working hours we ensure our vehicles are better utilised, more cost-effective and have a larger positive impact
We offer companies the opportunity to reduce emissions in all areas of mobility with convenient and climate friendly fleets
Cycling has clear health benefits that contribute to happiness and well-being in the workplace. We strive to make as many as possible move and feel better every day.
