Trentemoult's Mobilypod now produces solar power

Inaugurated in September 2018 at the entrance of the Roquios car park, on the Trentemoult quay, the secure bike shelter known as the “Mobilypod” has been trialling solar power since early 2020. Public-works company Colas, which invented the solution, installed three photovoltaic slabs in front of the shelter; each produces the energy needed to charge one parked electric bike. Designed by the Rezé start-up Nielsen Concept from a shipping container, the shelter is built by an integration workshop. The City bought two: the Trentemoult one and another near the town hall. Nielsen Concept also offers charging stations for electric scooters.
