25H

25H is an Italian startup that developed CarParX, a free app designed to help drivers find available parking spots in cities without unnecessary circling. The system uses a Bluetooth connection between smartphone and car: when a driver leaves a spot, the app automatically detects it and updates the map in real time. Data is processed anonymously and in aggregate form to generate predictive models of street occupancy — each zone is assigned an availability probability of high (green), medium (orange), or low (red). The core value proposition is reducing empty driving: in Italian cities, the search for parking contributes significantly to urban traffic congestion and fuel consumption. 25H's passive detection approach — which requires no active input from users — makes adoption frictionless and the data continuously self-updating. The app launched with a pilot in Rome's Municipio II and is targeting expansion across Italy's major urban centres. The startup operates in the smart urban mobility segment, a growing market fuelled by continued urbanisation and the intensifying pressure on parking availability in dense cities.
