🚗 In a world where 'owning' a car seems synonymous with freedom, let's rethink mobility wisely. Decreeing the options to travel shouldn't be limited by the keys in our hands. It's time for employers to champion flexibility in mobility as a service, offering employees a spectrum of choices beyond mere ownership.

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. 

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.

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

🌍 In 2023, our Itecor Barcelona team travelled 326 km with Cabify, offsetting 100% of the travel’s carbon footprint emissions—equivalent to 31 kg of CO₂—highlighting our commitment to sustainable transport. 🌱 🚙 Cabify is a ride-hailing service aiming to make "cities better places to live." Its sustainable business model is guided by responsible principles. This collaboration allowed us to support Cabify's reforestation project in Carballedo, Spain, covering 85 hectares, planting 8 native species, and generating local employment. 🌳 🌿 As an EcoVadis Silver Medal holder in Spain, we strive to uphold environmental and corporate responsibility.

#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.

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.

Last year, over half a billion journeys were made using shared #micromobility across Europe and the United States. And these shared mobility trips can complement #PublicTransport! 🚴 80% of shared bicycle riders in Budapest mainly use PT 🚌 62% of French shared mobility trips combine with PT 🛴 45% of US shared mobility journeys replace the car How can shared mobility and public transport build on this success? 🗣 Expert insights from Sebastian Schlebusch & Benoit Beroud tell us what the industry is doing, and what it still needs to do. 📰 Read on: https://lnkd.in/eRBBFsWb #SharedMobility

What starts with B and can be carried by a bus? 🚌 It’s not baggage, it’s a BIKE! 🚴♂️ One more reason to travel with Flix: super promo with 1PLN bike tickets 🎟️. Bikes are one of the most sustainable and healthy means of transportation, quite similar to buses. 🌱 Therefore, it’s no surprise that our green vehicles are equipped with external bike racks. Since the beginning of the spring season, our bike-ready buses have been reaching almost all major bike routes in Poland, many of which are not accessible without a car. 🚲🌍 From July 1st until the end of the month, you can book a trip with your bike for 1 PLN on all Polish domestic lines or those starting/ending in Poland. You can reach almost 20 countries with your bike on the rack, including Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Czechia, Germany, and Romania. 🌐 Check if you have enough days off to visit all of these destinations! A common question from our passengers: how do you place the bike on the rack? We use typical racks similar to those used on cars, but our great drivers will take care of that. 👍 Additionally, all our drivers are trained in bike installation. Want to see how the installation looks in real life? Check out the video below. 🎥 One last point: how to check if the bike rack is available? On the first page of our booking engine, you can choose the number of passengers, and bikes are listed there as well. We treat them as family members, part of our green family! 💚🚴♀️ #bike #travel #GreenMobility
