EVER Monaco opens up to all forms of sustainable mobility with upcoming event next month

The 18th edi­tion of EVER Mona­co is open­ing up to clean air mobil­i­ty and will be held on 11–12 May 2023 at the Espace Fontvieille. Since 2006, the date of its first edi­tion, the future pos­si­bil­i­ties explored have turned into real­i­ty. The exhi­bi­tion is open­ing up to air mobil­i­ty at a time when the first pro­to­types for a fly­ing car and elec­tric heli­copter are ready.

Bernard Fautri­er, pres­i­dent of EVER Mona­co, said: “After look­ing at all the forms of trav­el on land and water, it makes sense that we also focus on what is set to hap­pen in the air.

“The urgent need to decar­bonise our econ­o­my is now pos­si­ble across all sec­tors, and we would like to sup­port the high­est-emit­ting sec­tors in their efforts to reduce their envi­ron­men­tal foot­print by fos­ter­ing syn­er­gy and aware­ness.”

Since the begin­ning, EVER Mona­co has been sup­port­ed by the Prince Albert II of Mona­co Foun­da­tion, which is devot­ed to envi­ron­men­tal pro­tec­tion and sus­tain­able devel­op­ment. The Foun­da­tion is keen ‘to pro­tect and advance plan­e­tary health’ by sup­port­ing over 750 projects world­wide.

The Société Moné­gasque de l’Électricité et du Gaz (SMEG), the Principality’s incum­bent ener­gy com­pa­ny, is also active in France with the sup­ply, instal­la­tion and exploita­tion of high- pow­er recharg­ing sta­tions for elec­tric vehi­cles.

Swedish man­u­fac­tur­er Vol­vo Trucks France will be a part­ner of EVER Mona­co for the sec­ond year run­ning, with a pre­sen­ta­tion of 100% elec­tric mod­els, but also its Iron Women pro­gramme, ded­i­cat­ed to pro­mot­ing careers in the road haulage indus­try to women.

Vol­vo Con­struc­tion Equip­ment, a sub­sidiary of the AB Vol­vo Group man­u­fac­tures con­struc­tion machin­ery sold in over two hun­dred coun­tries. Zero emis­sion Con­struc­tion and low-noise and ener­gy-effi­cient tools are par­tic­u­lar­ly sought after. For this 2023 edi­tion, the organ­is­ing com­mit­tee of EVER Mona­co has cho­sen as venue the Espace Fontvieille for the third year run­ning.

Inside and around the Mar­quee, the icon­ic loca­tion of the Mona­co Inter­na­tion­al Cir­cus Fes­ti­val, the exhi­bi­tion will be com­plete­ly redesigned to accom­mo­date the largest elec­tric vehi­cles along­side the Ride & Dri­ve area, the start­ing point for all test dri­ves.
