The company expands its shared mobility services with vehicles adapted to high-speed roads
ACCIONA has been awarded a total of 1,950 scooter sharing licenses in the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona (AMB). This provides continuity and expands the service already offered by the company in the city since 2019 by adding seven locations with almost 900,000 more people as potential users.
With this new extended concession – valid for two years and extendable for a further two years – ACCIONA remains one of the main providers of this urban service in the area.
The AMB has tendered a total of 9,950 licenses, which have been awarded to five operators. All of them maintain their own identity but will add the AMB's “shared scooter” logo to their vehicles.
The cities that join the service through this tender are Barcelona, L'Hospitalet, Esplugues, Sant Feliu, Sant Just, Badalona, Sant Adrià, and Santa Coloma. Therefore, more than 2.5 million people will have access to this safe, non-polluting and economically competitive mobility option.
The selected companies have 40 calendar days to deploy the fleet.
INTERCITY MOTORCYCLE
As a differential element, ACCIONA offers motorcycles instead of mopeds, which allows users to drive on high-speed roads, the most popular ones for intercity routes between the eight municipalities.
The motorcycle used in ACCIONA's sharing service is the Silence S02, equivalent to a 125cc gasoline-powered scooter, which allows access to high-speed roads, where they can circulate comfortably within the maximum permitted speed of 80 Km per hour.
To use ACCIONA's electric scooters, customers only have to download the company's ‘motosharing’ application on their phones. Once they have registered and confirmed their driving license (car licenses are valid), they can use the motorcycles by checking on the app itself where the nearest one is located and booking it.
When the customer arrives at the location of the motorcycle, he/she must press the 'Start the trip' button on the app. The vehicle will start and the rear trunk will open, where there will be two helmets.
The trip can be completed in any of the eight municipalities of the AMB where the service will be available.
