Informal transport in the State of Mexico is a difficult problem for the government to combat, as it provides a fast, economical service adapted to the needs of the passenger.

The biggest problem is improvisation, the lack of security for both the service provider and the passenger, as neither is regulated. In this sense, the E-cocycle proposal was born to formalise this activity.

Low-cost, improvised materials and structures.

Transport of objects, shelter from sun and rain.

Informal transport in these areas represents a part of the local economy, but because of the problems of precariousness and almost no formality the service is not stable, it has no authorized stops and no studied tariff. However, the efforts to eliminate this type of transport have been ineffective, because the low investment and regulation makes it a quick entry of money.

The E-cocycle seeks an efficient and robust transport system adapted to current needs, providing a way to create new business models.

Back view ecoclycle

It is powered by 6 rechargeable battery modules which seek to generate new business models, as well as providing new jobs and battery replacement points for drivers.

Battery removed.

Electric power will replace current fossil fuels and become a cleaner and more sustainable transport ecosystem.
