CTO / Associate (m/w)

PRESENTATION :
VECTURA SYSTEM is the central contact for logisticians in the ecological and sustainable transformation (CO2, natural resources, CSR) of their light commercial vehicle fleets.
The company offers a one-stop-shop solution for the hybridisation of existing light commercial vehicles (from analysis of use to local installation).
Just like the upcycling of clothes, smartphones and household appliances, and at a time of decarbonisation and scarcity of resources, the circular economy and the upcycling of mobility are becoming a societal stake.
As a future major player in the decarbonisation of mobility through the circular economy, VECTURA SYSTEM offers an ecological and economical solution for the mobility of tomorrow.
"We don't replace the combustion engine, we add a compact electric motor and a battery to hybridize the vehicle" By the founders of Vectura System.
