On the occasion of Emmanuel Macron's presidential visit to China, the French car park giant, Indigo, has signed a partnership to develop and manage car parks in China. A gigantic and lucrative contract: in China, there are proportionally half as many parking spaces to park. And so who do we call to clean the road? To the French, the world champions to pay the motorists! The company is the world leader in paid car parks.

Indigo has all the panoply: parking in the basement, but also on the road, with the paid time stamp or OpNGo mobile application. And of course the agents in the street - Streetéo - responsible for distributing the fines, now called FPS (Post-Parking Package), if you have not paid. And this formidable arsenal, the whole world envies us ... and we tear it off. Indigo, a French company, is present in the United States (New York, Boston), Canada, Spain, Brazil, Colombia, Switzerland, Belgium and now China.
A know-how mastered by Indigo
France has pioneered basement parking with the idea of making the city pedestrian. In Shanghai, on his stand, and that impresses the Chinese, Indigo shows the Avenue des Champs Elysées, without cars parked because, there are underground parking. Then, it is necessary to know how to make pay the motorist and to make the rotations as fluid as possible: a knowledge that perfectly controls Indigo. And, this is the hidden talent of France abroad.
As much as France can not export its products, as much, it excels to export its services. In water treatment, for example, we are the world leader with Veolia and Suez. But it's also Sodexo, for example, for school canteens around the world.
