“ The European Mission is about bringing together departments , budgets , ministries , colleagues and those who don ’ t normally come together around the same table , bridge silos and sectors where combinations happen ”

Ecolution plans to deploy its patented Module Active Response System ( MARS ) proof-of-concept in Greenville , SC , followed by a roll-out of its technology in Minnesota for 2022 .
This mobilised kinetic energy would also be sourced to charge electric school buses . There are approximately 5,000 school buses and 1,000 municipal and mass transit buses in the Minneapolis-St . Paul greater area which could transition to zero emission electric in the future .
Through a dedicated project joint venture which may be funded by Levo , Ecolution plans to supply St . Paul and the Twin Cities area in Minnesota with electric vehicles and electric vehicle charging stations powered by its rail-to-grid technology .
Ecolution was named a finalist of Fast Company ’ s World Changing Ideas Awards in the ‘ On the Rise ’ category and received an honourable mention in the Energy and Transportation categories .
