Transport is Accident Prone 18

19 A Market We are Losing...

A Lack of Transport is Impeding Development 20

The Project : African Drive... Build small buses / vans for Africa New design, adapted to circumstances: Maintainable in Africa Adapted to road conditions Driving optimal at 50 km/h max at 90 km/h, low consumption Transport approx 12 people economically Sold with microfinancing to private entrepeneurs With tracking system for taxation, control, data gathering 21

Current transport cost investigation Fair wage for drivers Fair wage for maintenance Payment of taxes to governement Insurance cost Microfinancing Economic Viability Required 22

For Africa or for Europe ??? Create a market for economic growth Build experience in ‘Cost Down Innovation’ (ship Ikea-like packaged cars) Prevent the environmental problems that we experienced and solved from appearing oversized in Africa Solve technical challenges with spin- off opportunities (e.g. maintenance free air filter) Create second lives for multiple products we produce (e.g. tires) 23

24 Necessary requirement: a good ecosystem Big competitive advantage: a good ecosystem

A project for : 25 Back to the roots Industry: build vans that provide mobility in difficult road conditions, but economical and environment friendly Industry

A project for : 26 Back to the roots Financial Sector: provide finance where it is required most Industry Finance

A project for : 27 Back to the roots Insurance Sector: provide security where people, finance providers and industry need it Industry Finance Insurance

A project for : 28 Back to the roots Industry Finance Accounting Insurance Accounting Sector: secure open accountability of all parties involved

A project for : 29 Back to the roots Media Sector: bring constructive information that helps to get this project in a positive drive, in Europe, in Africa... Industry Finance Accounting Media Insurance

A project for : 30 Back to the roots Politics: create the rules to bring the so much required, economical, environmentally friendly mobility to African countries Industry Finance Accounting Media Insurance Politics

Make it Happen for 2020 ? 31 Interested? Talk to us at booth 96 at 13h30 Who has read ‘Flagship Area’s’ for 2020 ? Who found it an engaging text that motivates European citizens to run behind the European Flag ? Who would find ‘African Drive’ a project that can motivate people ?

Make it Happen for 2020 ? Test phase with existing vans Design phase Use existing technology but innovate on cost down Solve technological challenges Recuperate components Pre-series in Flanders, Belgium? Maintenance in Benin Production in Benin 32 Interested? Talk to us at booth 96 at 13h30
