ACQUISITION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS
Project Implementation and Technological Innovations
The company Avant Car, which manages the corporate fleet of Mikro+Polo, has been selected to participate in a pilot demonstration project co-funded by the EU. The project is part of a public call aimed at promoting the development and testing of new or improved products, processes, or services with high added value and market potential in the field of green transition and circular economy. As part of the project, Avant Car is developing solutions for fleet management, demand forecasting, a user-friendly mobile application, and a keyless system for all types of vehicles. These innovations are part of an integrated sustainable and digitalized mobility system, enabling more efficient and eco-friendly vehicle use.
As part of the project, we installed four electric vehicle charging stations in front of the Mikro+Polo headquarters. The Etrel Inch PRO charging stations, with dynamic power limitation ranging from 7.4 kW to 22 kW, are equipped with connection cables and a full management system. The charging stations are mounted on twin pillars, protected with appropriate bumpers, and covered by video surveillance to ensure safety.
Environmental Aspect
The installation of electric vehicle charging stations is crucial for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and transitioning to sustainable mobility. Electric vehicles powered by renewable energy sources help reduce air pollution and improve the quality of life. Furthermore, the use of electric vehicles decreases reliance on fossil fuels, which is essential for achieving climate goals. This initiative is one of many (such as paperless operations, organic waste recycling, our own solar power plant, etc.) aimed at reducing our environmental impact.
With the commitment of many Slovenian companies, Slovenia ranks among the leading countries in sustainable development. According to 2022 data, Slovenia is ranked 7th out of 180 countries on the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and holds 1st place in Eastern Europe. This demonstrates the country’s strong commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development.
The project of installing electric vehicle charging stations and implementing telematics in vehicles represents a significant step towards sustainable mobility. After the completion of the pilot project, the charging stations will become the property of the company, enabling further use and development of sustainable solutions. All employees are responsible for using the charging stations with care and diligence, as this contributes to a better future for everyone.
