In 2018, the Croatian smart bench manufactures “Include” offered a brand new product at the Smart City EXPO World Congress in Barcelona - the Monna cycling point. Now, the city of Trogir, located on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, became the first location in the world to have installed it. “Include” is the Croatian innovation company, that developed the Steora smart benches which are placed in 250 cities on five continents.
The Croatian company also invented the most advanced multifunctional bench ever, calling it Monna. The solar-powered cycling point offers multiple functionalities: bike racks and electrical sockets for charging e-bicycles, a wireless charging pad and charging ports for wired phones, bike repair tools, night illumination and data collecting. Its basic functions are completely solar powered, and do not require any additional power supply, or infrastructural adjustments. The most advanced multifunctional bench ever is designed for both urban and rural areas. It is 100% safe, having two layers of user protection. When it rains or when exceeding energy consumption limit sockets, it automatically shuts down.
