Boosting decarbonisation
Iberdrola España, which has been leading the energy transition for two decades acting as a key driving force in the transformation of the industrial fabric, the economy and employment, offers itself as a strategic ally to corporations and companies to help them reduce their carbon footprint.
The company, aware of the need to promote electromobility in Spain through coordinated and effective action with the main agents involved, has already completed more than 60 infrastructure deployment agreements with administrations, institutions, companies, service stations, dealers and electric vehicle manufacturers.
One of the latest is the agreement signed between Iberdrola España and the Business Association for the Development and Promotion of Electric Mobility (AEDIVE) for the creation of the alliance for the electrification of heavy road transport in Spain. The initiative aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of heavy road transport and combat climate change. At the same time, it aims to improve fuel efficiency, limit high fuel consumption, and reduce the cost for logistics operators and the country.
