The analysis was conducted by the university-affiliated consultancy network Unitalent in collaboration with research groups at Linköping Institute of Technology. It shows that Zivi’s method generates only 77 grams of CO₂ equivalents per vehicle wash, compared to traditional car washes, which typically consume between 250 and 400 liters of water and emit significantly higher levels of CO₂. **“It is a privilege to offer a solution that not only dramatically reduces environmental impact but also conserves large volumes of water. Zivi is not only climate-smart – we also help our customers save time. Because vehicle maintenance is performed directly where the car is parked, without water and without disrupting operations, there is no loss in productivity,”** says Kujtim Salihu, CEO of Zivi. Zivi’s logistics are built on fossil-free transportation – including electric bikes, e-scooters, and public transit – combined with waterless cleaning technology and reusable materials. This minimizes environmental impact across the entire value chain, from transportation to the finished vehicle. The service is particularly appealing to companies with ambitious sustainability goals – especially in a time of rising demands for climate reporting, resource efficiency, and responsible water use. Zivi’s environmentally and climate-conscious technology is also connected to proprietary software that gives full control over planning, quality, damage reporting, resource usage, and sustainability reporting – enabling customers to combine environmental responsibility with strong financial performance and long-term value for both business and society.
