FCC took delivery and presented the first electric for FCC Construction at its Torre Picasso headquarters this morning as part of its e-mobility project in Spain. The cars were acquired from Northgate under its Flexible Renting formula.
The cars will be used by the Construction Division and will replace conventional petrol-powered vehicles. This is the latest addition to FCC's fleet of electric vehicles, continuing the strategy of mobility, sustainable development and protection of the environment.

The presentation was attended by senior officers of FCC and Northgate, as well as managers responsible for the project. The cars were demonstrated as part of the event.

The vehicles are 67 CV Citroën C-Zero models with an autonomy of 130 kilometres. The car's battery can be recharged either using the conventional electricity grid, which takes 6 hours, or a 30-minute quick charge will power it up to 80%.

FCC now has a dozen Citroën and Peugeot cars, in addition to the 250 vehicles owned by FCC Environment, which are used for rubbish collection and road cleaning in various cities.

FCC also has 11 parking spaces equipped with power points at its Torre Picasso, Federico Salmón, General Perón and Acanto properties to charge these vehicles. These facilities form part of the environmental commitments made by FCC, and they will be extended to the rest of the parking spaces at these buildings and the company's other properties, depending on demand.

Within the framework of its electric mobility strategy, FCC has entered into agreements for preliminary studies and research related with the electric car involving Citroën Spain, Siemens and Peugeot vehicles. Meanwhile, an agreement was reached with Citroën Spain and BlueMobility via the new FCC Industrial brand to install charge points for Citroën cars owned both by private individuals and companies.

In line with its environmental commitments, FCC has built its first electricity station in Albacete to provide power for electric vehicles.
