A commitment to innovation and sustainability
Improving the quality of life by giving back time by developing eco-sustainable solutions that have a positive environmental impact
Hence the name of the company that aspires to create a day made up of 25 hours. That extra hour given back to people through the use of 25H services.
People spend 38h/year in order to find a parking space for their car, increasing gasoline consumption, CO2 emissions, traffic and stress

Fantasy is the incubator of any innovation. Let’s wonder together how technology can support it.
Time is the scarcest resource that cannot be purchased, hence many solutions have arisen that try to help people have more time such as of high speed trains, apps that show traffic in real time and suggest the shortest routes to reach a destination.
Unfortunately, this last solution, especially in cities where the density of cars is high, the most of the time time is spent looking for a parking space, which is rarely found nearby ,forcing the user to drive for many minutes around the desired arrival point, consuming fuel and therefore emitting further CO2. After having parked far from the final destination, how often the driver realizes that there is parking available once he approaches the destination on foot?

Traffic Congestion
Quantitative studies (source: Research gate publication “The cost of parking”) show that 30% of vehicles congested in traffic are looking for a parking space. This percentage increases to up to 50% of commuter traffic entering large cities. Furthermore, urban traffic is the cause of 40% of CO2 emissions and 70% of other polluting substances. In Europe (source: Insurance Alliance research report 2011) drivers spend an average of 15 minutes on the move looking for an empty seat, which means more than 8,000 hours in a lifetime spent going in circles within a block looking for a parking space (equivalent to about a year of a driver’s life).
