Introducing the Kenguru, the EV Transforming Lives for Wheelchair Users The electric vehicle (EV) market is witnessing a pivotal evolution with the Kenguru, the first car designed for wheelchair users. This groundbreaking EV goes beyond speed and range; it’s about purpose, inclusivity, and accessibility. Design Innovation: The Kenguru’s Edge The Kenguru is a game-changer, with its single rear-entry door and automated ramp system offering wheelchair users the ease of access that was once a challenge. Affordable Accessibility Marketed at $25,000 and potentially lower with tax credits, the Kenguru breaks barriers to mobility with its affordability. Its classification as an electric scooter adds to its accessibility by eliminating the need for a driver’s license in certain areas. Practical Performance for Everyday Life With a moderate speed and range, the Kenguru is tailored for the urban environment, offering a practical solution for daily commutes and city travel. Its rapid charge time ensures that users can rely on it for their day-to-day needs without range anxiety. A Visionary Impact on the EV Landscape There’s a need for diverse vehicle designs that cater to all individuals. It’s a leap forward in creating a more inclusive society where electric mobility is accessible to everyone. The Kenguru isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a beacon of progress in the drive towards a future where mobility is universal. Let’s celebrate this innovation that’s not only powering transportation but also empowering lives. #InclusiveDesign #ElectricVehicles #SustainableMobility #Innovation #Accessibility #KenguruCar #MobilityForAll

The IMechE Transport Hierarchy, published in 2013, the same year as this graphic from Copenhagen Design Co., tells us that we must increase efficiency of low-impact modes of transport. That would include making sure that walking and cycling routes, and bus routes, are more direct, and that high impact modes of transport, specifically private cars, should be adapted around those direct routes. Not the way it is done today. This is a good example of how different thinking, rather than only new technology, is needed to resolve teh wicked problems like urban transport and the air quality, climate change, congestion, safety and other issues caused by our current systems.

STAY is working to help hotels transition toward more green processes. 🌍 By embracing our Guest Experience OS, hotels make a significant impact on reducing energy consumption, cutting printing costs, and decrease paper waste. 💡 ✅ Energy Efficiency: significantly reduce the energy consumed in printing brochures, resort maps, and check-in documents. By going digital, you can minimize energy-intensive printing processes, saving both electricity and resources. Say goodbye to unnecessary waste! 👋🏻 ✅ Paperless Experience: guests can access all hotel information digitally including the ability to book services, get access to a map of the hotel and destinations, and speak to the staff in real-time, eliminating the need for printed materials. Furthermore, F&B updates don't require reprinting menus, making any changes cost-free. It's a solution that easily reduces paper consumption. 🌳📝 ✅ Cost Savings: by reducing printing costs and paper waste, our hotel is not only becoming more sustainable but also saving valuable resources. This means more investment in what’s most important — delivering exceptional experiences to guests. 🏨 Learn more about our Guest Experience OS today at stay-app.com and experience the convenience and sustainability firsthand. 🌱 #Sustainability #STAY #Innovation #GuestExperience #Hospitality #HotelTech

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿: 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝘃𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 On Monday July 15th, ADSE Consulting and Engineering together with Hello New Day organized a dynamic working session for stakeholders in the aviation sector with a focus on Circular Interior. This session, aimed at designing collective value propositions, is a follow-up to previous explorations within the NAG Advancing your Aerospace and Airport Business Cluster Interiors. Because we already noticed that cooperation in the chain is essential to make aircraft interiors more circular, we have included this initiative as part of the process towards formulating a National Collective Business Plan. Session Highlights: ✈ Collaborative Approach: Industry representatives work together to identify individual value propositions and spot opportunities for potential collective value propositions; ✈ Customer Profiles and Value Propositions: Participants mapped customer profiles and discussed the unique needs of different stakeholders within the value chain; ✈ Insights and Solutions: ➡ The dependence of OEMs (both at aircraft and equipment level) poses a problem for other parties in the chain to reuse materials. Shielding IP blocks finding new solutions for reuse of current products. Designs that are not based on circularity block a positive business case for reuse in the future; ➡ Also related to this is the lack of traceability: from the material origin and in particular the use history of materials to the end of the life of products. Sharing data in the chain plays a crucial role in this; ➡ Possible solutions include reverse logistics and implementing a digital passport for materials; ➡ The waste flows from aircraft are characterized by large peaks (during a major update or at the end of the aircraft's life) and long-term troughs; This means that any recycling does not have a continuous supply from 1 customer. Scale must come from bundling multiple sources, but this must form a stable business case for the parties that have to provide this. ➡ The aircraft industry is a global business and the lack of clear regulations and/or enforcement on how to deal with waste is currently disrupting the market design for circular material use; ➡ It is also important to look cross-sectorally at other experiences and best practices to utilize knowledge and accelerate innovation. The working session was an inspiring meeting where the collective ambition was felt. We look forward to continuing to build a sustainable and innovative future perspective for the Dutch aviation industry together.
