Did you know that 3.75 million #carsharing trips were done in Spain last year 🚀🚘? We’re not kidding, the carsharing market in Spain is growing fast! With 48 million inhabitants and 225 million foreign overnight stays in 2023, is a country with so much to offer for both visitors and residents. And the car rental #business is thriving with 650K cars generating €1.76B per year, showcasing a very dynamic #transportation ecosystem. 👉 Investing and supporting a key market like Spain, which already has an established carsharing culture and a fast growth potential, felt essential to us. 🇪🇸 🇺🇸Which is why we participated in the 2024 U.S. & Spain Council Forum in Santa Fe this past week. Our CEO Eduardo Iniguez & Director of Public Policy Soledad Roybal attended and met some influential figures who provided some great insights on how to navigate the policy landscape and market challenges in Spain. 🎙We had inspiring conversations with companies focused on more durable transitions, such as FedEx, Iberdrola, Repsol, CITY OF MADRID, Barcelona and ACCIONA. We're excited to continue promoting sustainable transportation alternatives and a future where #carsharing is the go-to option for everyone 🤩🚘!

We just launched our first e-buses in Chile, and this launch is a special one, as we combine it with more intermodal options for travel. 🚍We will have 3 buses operating on the routes, and plan to expand as demand increases on it. ⚡This new launch is part of the Los Libertadores Electric corridor project that aims to create a low-emissions electric travel corridor in the region. And we are happily collaborating with public partners to do something great for the region in terms of sustainability, connectivity, and convenience. 🌍Connecting directly to the Metro line 3 station, we create more options to travel inter-city and intra-city with our buses. This way passengers can get around much easier using more sustainable and collective options the whole way. A win/win if you ask me. 💚Congratulations to Santiago Echeverría and the whole Flix Chile team, you guys are reshaping environmentally friendly travel and leading the way for a better connected and greener future in Chile. For me, this is what the future of mobility should look like – a world where public and private companies find solutions to create an even better offer for customers and the environment.

So many Companies declare that their purpose is to become “a leader in sustainable mobility”: manufacturers of bikes or cars, train operators, tire producers and even banks. That is because mobility is so precious to all of us, as a means of contact, discovery, freedom and… as an attractive business for the future. Europcar Mobility Group was founded in 1949, exactly 75 years ago, under the name “L’abonnement Automobile” with a clear purpose: “If you cannot afford to own a car, why not rent one just when you need it?” A simple question which remains highly modern and relevant, even today! For 75 years, we have remained true to this original spirit, offering innovative services to make mobility easier, more accessible and, that’s right, more sustainable! Wishing now to express this heritage of service in a similarly simple and relevant way as 75 years ago, we define our purpose today as: “We help to change the way you move” As we face challenges like traffic congestion, cost inflation or CO2 emissions, all of us (and the Companies we work for) have to change the way we move. At Europcar, we are embracing change and happy to help every person or business to find the appropriate and flexible solution they need. This is our way to sustainable mobility, as illustrated in this short, yet inspiring film. #wehelptochangethewayyoumove #mobility #heritage #travel #sustainability Carré Noir

47% Growth in Ridership: A Decade of Mobility Enhancement During 2023 nearly 20.5 million people traveled with us, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to sustainable mobility. Compared with 2013, we’ve achieved a remarkable 47% increase in ridership. 📈 These figures highlight the growing number of people choosing public transportation, making the city more "livable" by opting for sustainable commuting options. We take pride in how Metro de Sevilla s.c.j.a.-s.a. has enhanced social profitability facilitating the daily commute for citizens -whether it be for work, studies, or leisure. Beyond daily commuting, we stand by the city during special events, and welcome visitors to the beautiful #Sevilla. More people are transitioning from private vehicles to a combination of high-capacity metro transport and other complementary modes. This holistic approach, embracing intermodality, is a key factor in making public transportation a competitive choice over private cars. The increase in usage of our infrastructure and rolling stock is the result of the passion, knowledge, and dedication of excellent individuals working as a team. We are a customer-centric organization, committed to operational excellence, exemplifying innovation for improved customer experience and operational performance: truly delivering "value for money" for society. When the objectives of the Operator and the Administration are aligned, the results are truly remarkable Thank you to everyone is part of this journey! 🌟 GLOBALVIA Agencia de Obra Pública de la Junta de Andalucía #Sustainability #Mobility #PublicTransport #Railway

#Spain The Spanish government announced this month that some commuter routes on the state-owned rail-network, Renfe will be free from September until the end of the year. A 30% discount on public transport nationally had already been introduced. In Barcelona, public transport is already excellent and cheap compared with other big cities but the mayor, Ada Colau, on a mission to reduce car traffic, is now halving metro fares. From September to December 2022, a 10-trip metro travel card that will take passengers almost anywhere in the city will cost a mere €5.70, compared with the current fare of €11.30. A monthly ticket will go from €40 to €20. No one knows how it will function in practice. For example, how do travellers buy a free ticket from a machine? Will it apply to residents only or will Spanish taxpayers be subsidising free travel for tourists? Not everyone in Barcelona is happy. “Colau declares war on cars” is just one of many recent headlines in a sustained media campaign against Colau’s policies for making the city more people-friendly. Barcelona has Europe’s highest density of car ownership (6,000 a square km) and has some of the continent’s worst traffic noise and air pollution. Private vehicles account for about 20% of journeys. A man rides a bicycle in a pedestrian area as part of an expansion of the ‘superilla’ (superblock) plan promoting cycling and car-free zones in Barcelona.

Photograph: Josep Lago/AFP/Getty Images The automobile association and conservative politicians accuse Colau of denying citizens the “right” to a parking space and claim that banning aged, polluting cars from the city discriminates against the least well off. They even complain about cycle lanes, which have increased from 121km (75 miles) to about 300km during Colau’s mandate. Barcelona’s flagship policy, which has attracted interest from around the world, is its superblocks, where groups of nine city blocks are transformed into people-friendly spaces, with benches, play areas and gardens. Cars may enter but cannot transit the superblock.
