To help car park users find a space more quickly, Keolis is installing electronic guidance systems in its car parks, indicating free spaces in real time. The Group is also developing parking solutions to promote mobility and autonomy for all, in particular accessibility for people with reduced mobility (PRM).
Parking, support for more sustainable mobility
Connecting parking and sustainable mobility
Keolis invests in advanced technology to offer efficient and connected parking solutions. This includes, for example, the development of autonomous shuttles. By transporting users from outlying car parks to their final destinations, they simplify parking, relieve congestion in city centres, reduce pollution and encourage more environmentally friendly mobility.
Supporting electric mobility
Keolis encourages electric mobility by continually increasing the number of parking spaces for electric vehicles. As the leading parking operator for electric mobility, the Group offers its clients more than 1,300 electric charging points in its car parks.
