With a total project cost of EUR 3,250,000, which includes EUR 365,740 from the European Regional Development Fund, ECOFLUV demonstrates its commitment to democratizing decarbonized river logistics. Its goal is clear: to expand the deployment of electric boats to all European cities served by waterways, thereby contributing to the emergence of sustainable and efficient urban logistics.
Evoli stands out with its electric propulsion and photovoltaic panels, resulting in minimal carbon footprint. Furthermore, through meticulous analysis of logistical needs, it has been equipped with tailor-made features such as anchoring piles for precise docking, a crane, and adjustable ramps to facilitate loading and unloading of goods.
In addition to its ecological features, Evoli offers a range of innovative services, such as its wastewater recovery system, thus meeting strict regulations on river pollution. Moreover, ECOFLUV has developed a web service on its website, www.ecofluv.fr, enabling operational optimization and efficient route management while preserving the boat's electric autonomy.
ECOFLUV and its boat Evoli show the way to the future of urban logistics. By combining technological innovation, environmental commitment, and operational efficiency, they are part of a new era of river transport that is more environment friendly and tailored to current challenges.
