Symone

Two 10-year-old friends with ecological awareness 

The principle is simple, you book your trip on a mobile app and you arrive upstream of the toll. The SYMONE driver welcomes you and loads your car or motorcycle on the double-decker coach that can accommodate 20 passengers and 9 vehicles. The SYMONE driver then leads you safely day and night to the desired toll. You can take advantage of this time saved to sleep, work or spend more time with your family, on less carbon and more secure motorway routes.

The idea of SYMONE was born during a return by car after 3 days of exhausting work in the south of France. Yoann Lacombe and Romain Coispine, friends for the past 10 years, have been riding their way back on the highway. From this exhausting experience combined with the observation that 6% of French CO2 emissions come from the traffic of light vehicles on motorways; and that every year there are more than 5000 personal accidents on these high-speed networks, they wanted to find an environmentally friendly, safer travel solution for the well-being of highway users. The two entrepreneurs, from the business and transport sectors, are planning to launch their first SYMONE for the 2024 Olympic Games.
