Stellantis will whiz with the 500e and cryptocurrencies
Stellantis rewards 500e drivers with cryptocurrencies: 1 Kiricoin for every kilometer traveled
Electric mobility and cryptocurrencies.
To unite the two trends of the 20s of 2000 is the newborn Stellantis, the fourth car manufacturer in the world. Psa and FCA, with the support of the English startup Kiri Technologies, rewards motorists of the electric 500 with KiriCoins.
Objective: to spread and encourage sustainable mobility.
WHAT STELLANTIS WILL DO
Stellantis, born in January from the merger of FCA and PSA, has decided to reward the drivers of Fiat's first fully electric car, the 500e, by giving away credits in the form of cryptocurrency for each sustainable journey.
HOW THE FCA AND PSA REWARD PROGRAM WORKS
In particular, the driver will accumulate, for each kilometer traveled, 1 Kiricoin, which is worth about 2 euro cents. Doing some calculations, every 10,000 km you can get 150 euros, explains MF-Milano Finanza.
To participate, just have purchased the 500e and download a dedicated app.
OBJECTIVE: SUPPORT VIRTUOUS BEHAVIOR
The initiative was created to encourage electric mobility and virtuous behavior,
“We want to support our customers' environmentally friendly behaviors and reward them with exclusive benefits. By simply driving the New 500, the KiriCoins can be collected in a “virtual” wallet shown in the Fiat app ”, explained Gabriele Catecchio, head of the e-Mobility program during a web conference.
HOW TO SPEND KIRICOIN
The virtual coins obtained, created by the startup Kiri Technologies, founded in 2020 by Mauro Di Benedetto, Luca Rubino and Kai Schildhauer, will also have to be spent in a sustainable way, within a dedicated marketplace.
INITIATIVE VALID IN EU COUNTRIES
The project has already started in 13 countries of the Old Continent: Italy, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Serbia, Norway, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Portugal and Switzerland.
THE INTEGRATION CASH IN MELFI
But it will certainly not be a competition with prizes to dispel the fears of the main trade unions on the Stellantis projects in Melfi : 1000 workers have now been laid off for 17 weeks, with the third shift that has never started. That the stop to the works, the unions ask, is the prelude to structural initiatives that will revolutionize the Italian factories?
