CirculaCar was co-founded by Edouard Nicolaÿ (a Kedge graduate) and Geoffrey Pauwels with a single goal in mind: to convert combustion-powered commercial and industrial vehicles into electric vehicles.
After growing up in Toulon and studying rugby in Toulouse, I joined Kedge's Master Grande Ecole program in Marseille in 2011.
Driven by travel, sport and projects, I loved defending Kedge's colors by joining the rugby team, and setting up a ProAct in the Philippines to develop this sport for underprivileged children. Incidentally, I also met my wife.
What particularly impressed me at Kedge was the ProAct system and the possibility of creating your own course, à la carte. I focused on business and project management subjects. This gave me a solid base from which to develop my entrepreneurial project, after having worked for several major groups such as Nike, GL Events and Sodexo.
Kedge Entrepreunership didn't exist during my school years, but I was lucky enough to follow the incubation program last year and benefit from all the network and expert advice of the coaches and teams, especially Feyrouz TRIPOTIN.

🚗 CirculaCar is...
CirculaCar is a company specializing in the electrification of professional and industrial vehicles, whether for new vehicles or retrofit (conversion of existing thermal vehicles).

We also design our own battery packs that can be repaired, connected and assembled in France.
We develop innovative solutions to accelerate the decarbonization of the sector by offering a more ecological and economical approach. We also design our own patented battery packs, which are repairable, connected and assembled in France 🇫🇷.
We complement each other very well: Geoffrey takes care of the engineering side of things, while I'm in charge of purchasing and business development.

🚀 How is CirculaCar helping to electrify commercial vehicles faster?
CirculaCar makes it possible to electrify a professional vehicle model in just 12 weeks, compared with 25 weeks with a conventional design office.
We achieve this thanks to our integrated approach with manufacturers (from prototyping to series production and after-sales service), by supplying all the necessary components, and to our standardization, which reuses 80% of the technologies already developed.
The remaining 20% is for model-specific adaptation, building on our proven base rather than starting from scratch.
🤝 CirculaCar raises funds
To accelerate their development, CirculaCar is launching a €700,000 fund-raising campaign and will be supported by the Crowdcube platform, where anyone can invest.
