Nous adoptons une approche circulaire en réutilisant les pièces issues du SAV. Après une analyse rigoureuse, celles réutilisables sont remises à neuf ou réinjectées comme pièces reconditionnées, évitant le gaspillage et réduisant notre empreinte carbone.

*les pièces ayant déjà eu une vie ne sont jamais remises en service sur un produit neuf.

Dans notre processus de rétrofit, chaque pièce récupérée est soumise à une analyse mécanique. Celles présentant des défauts structurels sont écartées pour garantir qualité et sécurité.

Pour celles sélectionnées, nous évaluons le temps et le coût nécessaires à leur remise à niveau. Si elles répondent à nos critères, elles sont modernisées selon la dernière version en vigueur, puis réintroduites sur le marché comme pièces rétrofitées.

Bastien TISSERAND
Merchandising logistics manager
Without a vehicle before, we were constrained by the availability of a partner carrier, which limited our efficiency and flexibility of intervention. The arrival of our first VUF changed the situation, offering us autonomy and additional freedom for our deliveries and transport of goods. Whatever the weather conditions, the VUF has established itself as an indispensable tool: fast, versatile and capable of transporting large loads
Cyril Hiver
Business manager
As a technician in vehicle cleaning in professional car parks, I need a reliable and robust means of transport to move heavy equipment and important loads on a daily basis. The VUF Cleaner has proven to be extremely effective and fully meets my operational needs. In particular, I appreciated the fact that I could set up my bike as I wanted.
Sébastien Laroche
Deputy General Manager
At Soditel, our business requires reliable and efficient mobility. The integration of the VUF scooter into our fleet, in addition to our other vehicles, has transformed our approach to interventions. The VUF has proven to be a major asset, especially in downtown Bordeaux, where traffic restrictions and parking challenges prevail. It allows us to intervene on site more easily, especially in pedestrian areas.
