Norauto's mission will be to provide technical assistance to all the following vehicles, including recovery vehicles in the brand's colors. The presence of the mobile workshop and 8 employees will also make it possible to carry out prevention and maintenance operations. The device will thus accompany the vehicles of the advertising caravan as well as the organization's vehicles. New this year: the provision of eco-certified “Motorist & Responsible” maintenance products, composed of 99% ingredients of natural origin for all Tour caravans.
“The Tour de France organization and Norauto share strong commitments in terms of safety and responsibility. Thus, as a technical partner, Norauto employees will offer eco-driving awareness sessions for Tour followers. This eco-responsible driving makes it possible to achieve quantifiable objectives that meet the expectations of motorists: reduction in fuel costs (around 15%), reduction in maintenance expenses, reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and decline accident risk of 10 to 15%” can be read on the program.

We are delighted to have them at our side and to meet the challenges of tomorrow together." Christian Prudhomme, director of the Tour de France
“Elected the French people's favorite brand in 2024 and committed to working alongside motorists to support them every day in their transition to more sustainable mobility, we are proudly continuing our partnership with this popular event, the 3rd sporting event on a global scale! On 2 or 4 wheels, Norauto is on the side of a more responsible road for everyone and the Tour de France is a fantastic showcase for raising awareness of eco-gestures linked to mobility. We are also proud to continue our commitment to the Tour de France Women initiated last year and to support this event which promotes women's cycling at its highest level."
