Although the keys have now been handed over, PlanetSolar SA will still remain in charge of the energy system of the solar-powered boat the MS Turanor PlanetSolar and its subsequent developments, according to a news release. CEO and co-founder Pascal Goulpié says that the company will build on the experience gathered over the past seven years to focus on new tasks and activities.
PlanetSolar will now turn its attention to consulting, services and the sale of concepts relating to energy independence, with a particular focus on reducing gas emissions and environmental impact in the mobility sector. Marco Simeoni, a new majority shareholder of the company, sees great promise in this new focus particularly in the maritime sector.
