MOBIX partners with HED AKADEMI to promote safe and sustainable transportation in Turkiye. The collaboration aims to advance road and traffic safety for micromobility.
MOBIX has joined forces with HED AKADEMI, an accredited Turkish safe driving training organization and the exclusive representative of the German Road Safety Commission (DVR) in Turkiye since 2002.
The collaboration aims to expedite the advancement and adoption of road and traffic safety for micromobility and other eco-friendly modes of transportation in Turkiye. The partnership's primary objective is to endorse, facilitate, and capitalize on the use of micromobility as a secure and sustainable alternative to less eco-conscious forms of transportation, such as automobiles, in Turkiye.
The lack of well-built infrastructure in busy cities poses a threat to cycling safety.
