The Yvelines General Council has designated the winners of its second call for projects "Intelligent Car - City of the Future". Following a selection made by a jury, the winners were four consortia. IMARA was involved in two of the four winning projects: TRANS'YVES, coordinated by ADM Concept, and Link & Go coordinated by AKKA Technologies (with Controlsys, Inria and DBT) project. The Yvelines department wanted to promote the emergence of projects on sustainable development and automated driving with electric vehicles. On four projects selected, two of them are just referring to a concept of automatic parking, the vehicle comes to park all alone with no one on board. The call for proposals with a budget of 3 million Euros has been used to finance demonstrators that were exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show in 2013 as part of the Green Pavilion.
