Sacyr partners with Mooevo to create urban micromobility solutions
21/02/2023- Both firms will market sustainable electric carts for municipal services and last mile delivery under the brand MOOEVO Green.
MOOEVO and Sacyr have founded the MOOEVO Green joint venture to develop and distribute electric carts for a more sustainable and cleaner transport of wares and urban services.
MOOEVO Green will market the new Clean street cleaning electric carts. Valoriza purchased a fleet to provide the municipal services in the city of Madrid and are already functioning.
These electric carts allow logistics workers to carry loads up steep slopes, sidewalks, and obstacles with less effort. The new Clean carts have full 8-hour autonomy and can fit two 70-liter or 100-kilogram bins.
Additionally, the new joint venture will market other multi-industry vehicles, to clean both sidewalks and roads and to transport people and wares in urban locations. These vehicles are used by major courier companies.
MOOEVO Green’s catalogue will include electric carts for waste collection and other types of vehicles for persons with reduced mobility and their companions. The latter have already been used in Ifema during the Covid-19 crisis and other hospitals.
“This joint venture also offers novel electric solutions to transport people and wares. The global growth of e-commerce activity, as well as the ever increasing urban and legal restrictions on wheeled vehicles are driving logistics companies to use alternative vehicles that are compliant with the law and are financially viable in order to make their deliveries”, explained Ignacio Estellés, CEO of MOOEVO Green.

We use solar power to transform tires into rubber dust
16/02/2023We have installed over 1,000 solar panels that will compensate 20% of facility’s power consumption
At our Chiloeches facility, in Guadalajara, Spain, we convert end-of-life-tires into rubber dust to add into the bitumen formulation to build roads.
We used to power this process with primary energy sources, but from now on, we will cover 20% with photovoltaic energy thanks to the solar panels recently installed in the facility.
“We’ve assembled 1,112 panels in total, 440 kW, across the entire south area of the warehouse”, said Luis Muñoz, Head of service at our Chiloeches facility, a Sacyr Green project.
With Chiloeches being a self-consumtion, no-surplus facility, it will adapt to the facility’s production demands, but in the future, it is expected that it will sell any surplus to the general electric network on the weekends.
“Currently, our shredding line consumes a lot. Right now, we are on a maintenance stoppage, but whenever we put it back up, consumption rates rise. With this new system, we will save 20% in consumption”, Muñoz explains.
In terms of the reduction of carbon emissions, we expect a self-consumption of 718,000 kWh/year, with an estimated reduction of 186 Tn CO2/year.
