About Transition-One
Transition-One offers a clean, virtuous and sustainable mobility solution, which makes it possible to fight against climate change and to contribute to the end of fossil energies. We convert internal-combustion vehicles into electric vehicles in an industrial process.
Many European governments have decided to end the sale of gas- & diesel-powered vehicles in the future. But, why wait for the future?
Transition-One develops a retrofit adapted to our aging vehicles. Retrofitting technology consists in extracting all the specific elements to the internal-combustion engine to replace it with a 100% electric powertrain. The electric retrofit responds to major challenges of sustainable development: inevitable ban of petrol for electrics, and the inclusion of the project in a dynamic circular economy so as to not destroy, but rather rehabilitate existing vehicles in perfect condition to drive and respond to the new regulations.
