Our Company Since 2011

Eco Planeta Caribe is a Caribbean company based in the Dominican Republic, founded in 2011 by Ernst Cooiman with the goal to help customers be more sustainable through electric mobility and energy efficiency.

Our History

Eco Planeta Caribe is a Caribbean company based in the Dominican Republic, founded in 2011 by Ernst Cooiman. Our headquarters, with a retail area and warehouse, is in Bayahibe, and we have stores in the Casa de Campo Marina, Cap Cana, Puerto Plata and Santo Domingo, plus a local partner in Curaçao.

The company was founded with the aim to contribute to a more sustainable and green future for the Dominican Republic. We provide electric products and services that help customers lower their energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint.

And all of this can be achieved with a high return on investment and big reductions in costs.

Since our founding we have helped hundreds of customers in the Dominican Republic rent, buy, maintain and repair golf carts. In 2024 we added forklifts, aerial work platforms, cleaning machines, e-bikes and buggies to our portfolio, all electric.
