Vulog from the portfolio of the ČEZ investment fund heads to New York to get 31 million dollars from the EIB and existing investors

The money will be used to affirm Vulog’s position as a leading provider of technologies in the sphere of clean shared mobility and for further expansion in Europe and both North and South America. The Inven Capital fund acquired a minority stake in the French company in 2017, when it and other investors provided 20 million dollars to Vulog. Shared mobility driven by Vulog’s technology operates in more than 30 cities on five continents. Thanks to the 95% electrification of the contracted fleets, 200,000 tonnes of CO2 from transport is saved every year.

THE NEW SMART FUTUR/E/GO APPLICATION HAS DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF ELECTRIC CAR CUSTOMERS. DRIVERS LIKE THE FEATURE OF CHARGERS´ OCCUPANCY AND THE NAVIGATION.

Finding the nearest charging station, reporting the occupancy of individual stands in the entire network of more than 240 stations or an overview of all consumption and billing - this is just a small list of services that have been a matter of course for ČEZ customers for half a year. This is how the FUTUR/E/GO application sets the pace while operating the network and managing customer accounts. The advanced IT system of the Israeli company Driivz is currently used globally by three-quarters of a million e-car drivers and, more recently, by roughly two thousand ČEZ clients. The launch of the system was funded by the European programme Connecting Europe Facility (CEF).
