Ford has rolled-out solar-powered smart benches in London.

The benches, provided in collaboration with Strawberry Energy, have Wi-Fi access, charging ports, journey planners and sensors to monitor and display noise, carbon dioxide, humidity and temperature levels.

The 20 smart benches will double the number already installed by Strawberry Energy.

Miloš Milisavljević, Founder and CEO of Strawberry Energy, said: “Ford Smart Benches in Islington, Lewisham and Southwark will increasingly help ensure that walking will continue to be a key part of how Londoners enjoy their city.”
