Iberdrola speeds up electric mobility: greater investment
Electrifying transport is part of the company's strategy to decarbonise the economy with renewable energies and smart networks. In March, it decided to boost its sustainable mobility plan by allocating further investment - a total of 150 million euros - to streamline the deployment of electric vehicle recharging points over the next five years.
The new sustainable mobility plan entails installing around 150,000 electric vehicle charging points in homes, companies and urban areas, in cities as well as on the main motorways and trunk roads over the next five years.
Mazda works with a range of clean technologies that suit the needs of customers and their mobility, renewing the fleet and taking heavily polluting vehicles off the road.
Under the original "Sustainable Zoom-Zoom" vision announced in 2007, Mazda expects to reduce carbon dioxide emissions for which the company is directly responsible throughout the process by an average of 50% from 2010 levels by 2030, and 90 % by 2050.
