We are particularly pleased that we have found a partner with whom we share the desire to actively build environmentally friendly solutions in the field of transport – says Paweł Doleciński, Sales Director at Elelport.
The agreement between Carrefour and Eleport is a step towards promoting sustainable development and supporting ecological initiatives in the retail sector. The planned infrastructure expansion will cover strategically located locations throughout Poland, which will not only increase the convenience of using electric cars, but also encourage more people to consider eco-friendly transport options.
Currently, there are works going on related to the administrative process and preparation of each location for installation of devices. The goal of both partners is to launch the devices in all locations as soon as possible, which will happen next year, but the first of them will be available this year.
Both companies will keep informed about the details of the project and further stages of cooperation.
