It was so great to have some of the pioneers of green mobility, GreenGT and HYVIA, at ZIW in Paris this year.
Their insights on the future of sustainable mobility were truly inspiring. Don’t miss out on what they have to say about driving us toward a greener future.
#GreenMobility#SustainableFuture#ZIW24
For this 2024 edition of the ZIW, we have chosen to highlight mobility and a mobility that fits within the constraints of the current climate, one that is increasingly ecological, what we call green mobility. This green mobility can be seen in various sectors of current mobility, both for the professional world, with a representative from HYVIA who we are fortunate to have for this 2024 edition, but also with hydrogen technology in the pursuit of sports performance with GreenGT, a company that also honors us with their presence for this 2024 edition and which built this car that has the performance to race the 24 hours of Le Mans. And so with the two representatives of the companies, I'd like to discuss how hydrogen mobility, in today's conditions is able to meet these challenges. So Fr��d��ric, maybe you'd like to start. I'm starting with a bit of history. GreenGT was born from an idea of its founder, Jean-Fran��ois Weber, a motorsport enthusiast, to one day start at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a clean car. The very first car was an electric car, 100% electric, and the limits quickly became very, very apparent. It is just not possible to do 24 hours with a battery car. So we quickly moved towards hydrogen. It has been 15 years now that we have been developing fuel cell systems, knowing that the initial ideas and DNA of motorsport at GreenGT, were above all a demonstrator. And today, this demonstrator is on the track. This car has a little sister that is still racing in the LMS and the technology today, we are now applying it to other sectors, we are moving it to other sectors. On one hand, in heavy mobility, we have transferred the technology to 40-ton trucks. And on the other hand, we are now launching with Bertrand Picard and the Climate Impulse project into the air. The technology of high-density mobility for sports cars tomorrow for airplanes. For airplanes and all applications, that need both compactness, lightness, and very high power. This car here has a system with four stacks. So, we can mutualize a certain number of equipment and gain a lot in power. But it is also true in the professional world, in the industry, maybe Nicolas, you can say a few words about this mobility? We are not at all in the same research. So we are looking for reliability, availability, economic efficiency too, since we are addressing professional customers. In the End, the technology is the same but in a much more economically efficient and rational vision, because we are addressing very rational buyers. So why are we bringing hydrogen mobility to the professional world? Because intensive users, another end, it is also a high and impulsive intensity. So we have to answer the same question. It is clearly the same need and the technical solution provides it. It also solves the problem of battery vehicles which do not respond well to these intensive professional users, those who cover long distances, those who want vehicles used 24/7. Well, the technology is well suited to this need. So we started our path a little over a year ago. Mid 2023, the first offers are already being marketed complete offers because it is also necessary to integrate the infrastructure vision, the availability of the hydrogen molecule, mobility services, maintenance, financing. So we have a set of offers that we propose to professional customers and we are increasing our power. The market is still very small, but we believe in it a lot. We are believers in the technology because we know what it brings and we know that it meets a real need. So here it is. And we are on a somewhat difficult, somewhat tortuous path, but we are resolutely moving forward. Exactly. So the climate and the support we have, I speak under your control. I think hydrogen can be taken from water. It rains a lot. So I think the climate is right. And I think we have the climate that goes with hydrogen. Thank you to Fr��d��ric. Thank you to Nicolas. Thank you. Thank you.
Once upon a time, there was a cinema owner who was looking for a sustainable solution for reusable packaging...
That's exactly how our partner Mehrwegkonzepte Service GmbH started its business. What began as a solution to their own waste problem has today become a company operating nationwide in Germany, contributing to a sustainable take-away industry with its dishwashing service and logistics.
🤝 Collaboration at Its Finest
Under the visionary leadership of founder Sven Döding and Managing Director Tobias Ziegler, we've joined forces to declare war on disposable packaging. Our collaboration shows what can be achieved when innovation meets purpose.
🏆 Setting Industry Standards
Nestled in the heart of Bad Mergentheim, we're not just serving businesses; together we're equipping large events and festivals with eco-friendly solutions. Our approach demonstrates the feasibility of sustainable, waste-free events, setting new benchmarks not just within Germany, but globally.
🌐 Smart Events Redefined
Through Vytal Events and Entertainment GmbH, we're redefining what it means to host events in the 21st century. This is how smart events are done with Vytal: https://lnkd.in/e2d-uFxR Rent, Track, GO! 🌍♻️🎬

We're thrilled to share that DutchX has been spotlighted in a recent eBikes International article, exploring the rise of e-cargo bikes in the logistics sector.📦🚲
The article highlights our pioneering role in the sustainable logistics space and that e-cargo bikes are not only better for the environment but also reign supreme when it comes to cost and efficiency.
Join us as we strive for a greener tomorrow! 🌿

What happens when you give years of your life and spend and tonnes of money developing a product...
Only to find people love it but not quite as much as they loathe paying for fine art storage?
Time to think outside of the box (terrible pun but I just can't help myself).
You convene competitors and invite them to collaborate instead of compete to build a rental network.
Then people can hire your product when they need it, where they want it.
It's certainly not without challenges but thanks to the coolest most forward-thinking people I know in shipping, we're making it work.
ROKBOX LOOP is expanding into Geneva and Cologne this month, and adding capacity in London, bringing our total number of global rental hubs to 15! and more in the pipeline.
I'm so happy to welcome Regency Shipping Limited along with Isabelle Harsch and Robin Harsch at Harsch, The Art of Moving Forward as the newest members of this first-of-its-kind collaboration. Thank you.
And as ever, thanks to the people who helped launch ROKBOX LOOP; Oliver HowellIda NgJason Bailer LoshFritz DietlChris Bentley and of course the ROKBOX team Verity BrownHarriet PowellChris KnealeClaudia Ruane.
