Japanese Solution Redefines The Concept Of Parking And Presents An Intelligent And Sustainable Alternative For Overcrowded Cities

Japan is famous for its densely populated cities and lack of space. In this scenario, finding a parking spot can be compared to finding a needle in a haystack. This is where ECO Park from GIKEN comes in, a project that transforms the way we think about parking.

Unlike conventional parking lots that spread horizontally, taking up vast areas, ECO Park uses a robotic system that exploits verticality.

Cars are placed on a platform and transported by mechanical systems to an available spot, all in an automated manner. The best part? The driver doesn’t even need to be present during this process. A revolution that fits in the palm of your hand, or rather, in your pocket.

Efficiency In 32 Seconds

One of the most impressive features of ECO Park is the speed at which it operates. The average vehicle delivery time is just 32 seconds, which is unprecedented in a mechanical parking system. This not only makes life easier for users but also optimizes space, as it reduces the need for waiting and sorting areas.

The automated parking system from GIKEN has a sustainable and practical appeal: it occupies only 1/30 of the space of a conventional parking lot. Even in places where it is difficult to secure a large plot of land, ECO Park can install a high-capacity parking facility.

The Sustainability Of Tomorrow, Today

If you’re curious to see this technological marvel in action, don’t miss the demonstration video released by GIKEN itself. It’s a preview of what could become the standard in cities around the world, starting with Japan.

The Sustainability Of Tomorrow, Today

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

China manufactures 150 buses in just 16 working days and ships them to Argentina at prices up to 30% lower than those produced locally, putting body manufacturers in the neighboring country on high alert due to the speed and cost of Asian production.

Brazil accelerates the production of electric buses and could end 2026 as the leader in Latin America in a race that promises to transform public transportation in large cities.

An 11-year-old boy from Texas was just hoping to be officially adopted, but he got the most exciting surprise of his life when 45 classmates showed up unexpectedly at the courthouse to celebrate with him.

Two cyclones are surrounding Brazil at the same time this week: one brings heavy rain to the South while the other pushes cold air that drops temperatures by up to 6 degrees in mountainous areas of the Southeast.

A 20-year-old young man became paralyzed from the waist down after an accident and received treatment with polylaminin in Santa Catarina, and he is already able to move his feet days later.
