On 16 January 2023, ETIOCA Holding, an international company based in Gibraltar, reached Barcelona for the second stop of the ETIOCA Road Show - 2023 World Tour. In the crowded car park of the Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat airport, the working prototype “Miner”, designed and developed in Turin, Italy, arrived for its first outing on the road in Spain.
Mark Ishakov, Israeli entrepreneur and inventor who founded ETIOCA, and the CEO Roberto Fiorello, highlighted to the many taxi drivers present, the value of the ETIOCA Ecosystem, based on a technology and a platform that offers innovative solutions and services for alternative and sustainable mobility.
The Barcelona stage of the ETIOCA Road Show - 2023 World Tour was an important engagement to meet taxi drivers and representatives of their associations. Mark Ishakov said: “It was a constructive discussion which allowed us to enrich our knowledge of the world of taxi drivers to continue the evolution of “Miner” from prototype to vehicle ready to go into production.
“We intend to guide cultural and social change towards sustainable mobility, offering solutions that protect the environment and increase the quality of life of future generations.
“The ETIOCA ecosystem has the basis for guiding the transition towards mobility electricity at the service of the urban communities of the future and aims to reduce emissions and traffic in cities, introducing sustainable, functional and shared vehicles”.
During the meetings with the taxi drivers many fundamental points of analysis emerged: • safety of the drivers and passengers • possibility of recharging through the battery swap • autonomy (350 km range)
The taxi drivers in the El Prat Airport car park also discussed with ETIOCA management the economic aspects including the rates for the different usage packages. Rates start from 0.36 euro cents per km for the use of the vehicle up to further packages that
46
include additional services such as battery change, daily vehicle washing, insurance, maintenance and replacement of the vehicle in the event of a car stop.
At the moment, taxi drivers can fill in a pre-order form available on the website:
www.etioca.com to register for €100. This allows them to manage the feasibility of the order, which is then returned to future drivers on the ETIOCA debit card, on the same day as the vehicle is delivered, starting in 2024.
Taxi drivers who sign up for the pre-order will be registered in the ETIOCA application, which will reduce customer waiting times through geolocation, as well as entry into the network of ETIOCA app users who will also be able to use the ETIOCA ECO cryptocurrency (1 ECO equals 1 km travelled).
Through this integrated system, each taxi driver will have the opportunity to receive cash back as a reward for having contributed to “mine” each new ETIOCA digital currency. ETIOCA’s Fintech and Media system allow the taxi driver to increase the current turnover by 20%.
“A disconcerting fact emerged from the meeting in Barcelona,” said Roberto Fiorello, “every day approximately 10,000 taxi drivers of the Catalan city travel more than half of their working time (1,250,000 km for this city) empty, without passengers, releasing 250 tons of CO2
into the air. ETIOCA “Miner”, the first
electric taxi with its network and dedicated users app, aims to drastically reduce “empty” rides and emissions”.
ETIOCA taxi “Miner” was developed after five years of analysis of the needs of the taxi sector and urban mobility trends to cater to a new generation of taxi drivers-entrepreneurs who no longer need to buy a car, but can get it from ETIOCA on a subscription basis.
