Transportation funding in France (12 most recent entries) shows one clear size outlier: VELA raised $45M on 2024-09-24, dwarfing the next-largest disclosed rounds (Temo at $7M on 2024-01-18, Gaya at $5M on 2024-07-08, and CarJager/Gaussin group at $6M/$5M on 2023-10-06 and 2022-11-10). Most disclosed rounds cluster at the low-to-mid single-digit level, with several materially smaller amounts such as CirculaCar’s $1M (2025-06-13) and DataFret’s $560K (2023-05-05).
The timing and geography also concentrate: six of the 12 rounds are dated 2023-04-27 through 2024-02-07, and Ile-de-France appears repeatedly with companies like VELA (Fontaine-française), Gaya and Zembo, CarJager, ENAKL, and Vroomly. Stage/disclosure is mixed, with undisclosed amounts showing up three times (Gama, Zembo, ENAKL), while “Series Unknown” appears two more times (Zembo and Gaussin group; plus one “Venture - Series Unknown” classification for Vroomly). The rows span 2021-02-01 (Vroomly) through 2025-06-13 (CirculaCar), with the most recent entry landing in June 2025.

Frequently asked
Which round size stands out most in this French transportation set, and how far above the rest is it?
VELA’s $45M on 2024-09-24 is the only disclosed round above $20M in the 12-row view. The next-largest disclosed amounts are $7M (Temo, 2024-01-18) and $6M (CarJager, 2023-10-06), so the $45M figure is much larger than the rest of the disclosed amounts.
Do any cities or regions appear disproportionately across the most recent entries?
Ile-de-France is the most common geography in this set, including VELA (Fontaine-française), Gaya (Paris), Zembo (Paris), CarJager (Ivry-sur-seine/Paris), ENAKL (Paris), and Vroomly (Paris). Other single-appearance regions include Rhône-Alpes (CirculaCar, 2025-06-13), Bretagne (Temo, 2024-01-18), and Aquitaine (DataFret, 2023-05-05).
How concentrated are the deals in time—are there visible “windows” among the 12 rows?
There is a noticeable mid-window concentration from 2023-04-27 to 2024-02-07: it includes ENAKL (2023-04-27), DataFret (2023-05-05), Mint Bikes (2023-10-05), CarJager (2023-10-06), VELA (2024-09-24 is outside this exact span), Gaya (2024-07-08), and Temo (2024-01-18). The set also spans a longer edge from 2021-02-01 (Vroomly) to 2025-06-13 (CirculaCar).
What stage and disclosure mix dominates in these recent transportation rounds?
“Undisclosed” amounts appear three times (Gama, 2024-06-01; Zembo, 2024-02-07; ENAKL, 2023-04-27). “Series Unknown” appears in two classifications by name (Zembo and Gaussin group), and one additional row uses “Venture - Series Unknown” (Vroomly, 2021-02-01), meaning many rounds cannot be cleanly compared by stage label.
Which entries are the low-end disclosed outliers, and where do they sit versus the cluster?
Two disclosed amounts sit far below the bulk: DataFret at $560K (2023-05-05) and CirculaCar at $1M (2025-06-13). These are below the $3M to $7M band seen in rows like Mint Bikes ($3M, 2023-10-05) and Temo ($7M, 2024-01-18), while VELA’s $45M remains the opposite outlier on the high end.
Who closed within the most recent 90 days of the newest row shown (from 2025-06-13)?
Within 90 days of 2025-06-13, only CirculaCar’s 2025-06-13 Seed round ($1M) appears in the visible 12-row set. The next most recent dated entry is VELA on 2024-09-24, which falls outside that 90-day window.
