Ecov

Ecov is a Paris-based company specializing in innovative carpooling solutions aimed at improving transportation efficiency in peri-urban and rural areas. Founded in 2014, it offers a unique service called COVOIT', which integrates hardware and software to establish connected ridesharing stations. These stations feature color touchscreen terminals for passengers to register, pay, and request rides, along with LED displays showing destinations. Ecov's mobile application provides real-time information on station locations and estimated wait times, enhancing user experience. The company's concept operates like a bus line, allowing spontaneous carpooling without prior booking, thus addressing the inefficiencies of traditional ride-sharing methods. With a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving access to transport for low-income individuals, Ecov collaborates with various stakeholders, including businesses, communities, and engineering firms, to implement effective carpooling solutions. The company also provides continuous user support and service, making it easier for drivers to offer empty seats and for passengers to share rides conveniently.
