PARIS, Apr. 13, 2021/PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

The French car manufacturer Hopium continues to imagine the future of mobility

by integrating blockchain technology at the source of the development of its

hydrogen vehicle, a first in the automotive industry.

Through UNA, its Californian subsidiary based in Silicon Beach, Hopium intends

to harness emerging technologies to service both mankind and nature. The

manufacturer aims to contribute to the decarbonization of the blockchain while

serving the automotive sector through an encrypted ultra-secure and

decentralized data system.

The philosophy of UNA Blockchain is to improve the balance between people,

machines and the environment.

A team of developers and experts is currently working on the first phase of the

technology which will integrate precise data about the ecological impact of

vehicles, a personalized digital passport, ownership records to guarantee

optimal security, and traceability throughout the supply chain.  

While UNA will primarily be at the service of Hopium, its goal is to strengthen

the blockchain ecosystem as a whole, provide appropriate answers to the great

challenges of the sector, and help define automotive standards of tomorrow.
