PARIS, Apr. 13, 2021/PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

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.
