It was made possible by a private investment by Cooltra of 4.2 million euros. Barcelona's municipal government and the independent Catalan Institute ICAEN also support the green initiative. In the implementation of the largest e-mobility project in Europe using electric scooters, two points were pivotal: in deciding to use GOVECS scooters, Cooltra is consciously backing quality from Europe. Secondly, the company wants to push forward the expansion of the network of charging stations distributed throughout the city. "We are delighted that Cooltra has opted for the GO! S3.4, our first electric scooter in the motorcycle league", says Thomas Grübel, Managing Director of GOVECS GmbH.
