VIA Awards: A Decade as a Benchmark for Safety, Repairability, and Sustainable Mobility in Colombia

article imageRoad safety continues to be one of the main challenges for sustainable mobility in Latin America. In Colombia, traffic-related accidents not only affect public health, but also the economic sustainability of households, companies, and the insurance system. In this context, having access to technical, objective, and reliable information about the vehicles circulating in the market becomes a key prevention tool.

EARS: A new SAFER Project - Sound that helps more People travel safely

article imageImagine this. You have booked a shared ride in your phone. The vehicle is arriving, but there's no driver to wave, answer questions, or help you find the right door.
