For another year, the Sant Joan de Déu hospital successfully gathered hundreds of people and companies with a commitment to this noble cause. Organised as part of the ALMA Festival Barcelona at the iconic Poble Espanyol, the event filled the air with solidarity, hope and vibrant music thanks to a performance by the amazing Gipsy Kings.

This latest edition of the charity dinner was attended by nearly 700 people, who enjoyed a lovely summer’s evening in the open air. The event enjoyed strong corporate support this year, with partnerships and sponsorships from 52 companies that, together with the generosity from attendees, managed to raise 218,400 euros. These funds will be given to the Únicas project to promote the research and care of minority diseases, a reality that affects many families who wait years for a diagnosis and often without any specific therapy.

In line with its support for social causes, Moventia played a major role in the success of this charity evening through its commitment to child health. Its support reflects the philosophy of a company that is committed to its community and charity causes.

Thanks to the joint effort of everyone involved, the charity evening organised by the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital was a huge success, strengthening the commitment to research and support for those families who face the challenge posed by minority diseases.

The event was attended by two very special representatives from the company: Josep Maria Martí, CEO of Moventis, and Sílvia Martí, Vice-President of Corporate Affairs, Internal and Institutional Communication of Moventia. Alongside almost 100 other attendees, they explored the common ground between economics and the automotive industry at this fascinating event.

Economics professor, Jordi Gual, led a session entitled ‘Perspectives on the Economy: What can we expect?’, in which current economic affairs and key business challenges were discussed. Nuria Marsal, Head of Executive Education Programmes at IESE, presented a programme that has been especially designed for company executives to offer a unique outlook on business development.

The event also included some outstanding input from Marc Gené, a former racing driver and current Formula 1 test and development driver for Ferrari. Marc shared his knowledge about economic trends in motor sport, offering a valuable perspective on the crossover between the world of business and élite motor sport. For Movento, partnering with the IESE Business School on this event was a huge privilege. The meeting not only allowed attendees to explore two growing sectors in depth but also highlighted the importance of business leadership in a constantly changing world.

The event was led by Marta Farrés, Mayor of Sabadell; Pau Morilla-Giner, Chairman of the Centre d’Esports Sabadell; and Santi Colomer, General Manager of Movento, on behalf of Moventia, alongside representatives from other companies that together stand as the team’s partners.

The meeting took place at the Nova Creu Alta de Sabadell stadium in March as a way to present the players making up the first team for the 2023-2024 season, the club’s coaching staff and the main sponsors who lend their support to the sporting career of this local football team.

Three years of commitment

The group’s individual mobility division, Movento, has been one of the main sponsors of CE Sabadell FC since 2021, with the brand’s logo appearing beneath the number on the team shirt.

This partnership is a clear example of the company’s firm commitment to the local team, highlighting the ongoing relationship between the two hundred-year-old and relevant entities in the region.

Furthermore, as part of the agreement with Centre d’Esports Sabadell FC, Moventia is promoting a series of actions during the games played at the stadium for all club members.

In his talk, the Chairman of Moventia stressed that the success of mobility in the Greater Barcelona area (which encompasses almost four million inhabitants) poses two major challenges: “Firstly, a firm commitment to public transport in the outer metropolitan area to double the current market share of 20% (in the inner metropolitan area, this figure stands at 55%). Secondly, the unquestionable challenge of decarbonisation”, he said. Within a context where all sustainability eyes are on the transport sector, Miquel Martí called for “a stronger public-private partnership for tackling the major project to decarbonise our vehicle fleets. Neither the public authorities nor private companies can do this alone. A partnership is therefore needed right now, immediately, to ensure we can use the Next Generation funds to that end”.

When asked whether the tram will continue to operate in Barcelona – one of the main issues in the municipal pre-election campaign – Miquel Martí stressed that “the tram debate must be solid, objective and based on data. Surveys have backed up the success of this means of transportation for many years and, from my point of view, there should be no doubt over its future continuity”.

Moventis TCC Pamplona, ​​the concessionary company in charge of urban and interurban transport within the Pamplona territory, has posted a record of more than 150,000 tickets on February 3rd. These values ​​are identified parallel to the Sanfermines season.

The first week of February was notable for the large volume of travellers who chose to travel to villavesas. According to Regional Urban Transport, a total of 152,247 trips were registered on the first Friday of the month, a new record of figures that evoke data from before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In turn, the entire first week of February reached 20,000 more travellers, compared to levels prior to the health crisis. These very flattering data occur in the context of the current 50% discount on the bus ticket established by the Government of Navarra, in addition to the disappearance of the obligation to use a facemask on public transport. These two aspects favor a greater demand for the use of public transport.

From TCC Pamplona we want to thank all users for trusting in our service. We will continue working to operate with the best quality and precision that is in our power, since every day there are more travellers who bet on Las villavesas.

The project will be launched in September of this year, for which the consortium will purchase 150 12-metre buses and all the technology needed for sales and operation. It will also include the management of six bus stations, eight bus depots and nearly 100 bus stations in several cities. The team working on this project will consist of 500 people from a number of different countries.

Jordi Castells, the Managing Director of Moventis B2B and head of the division for Saudi Arabia, said “with this new project, Moventia continues to make progress on its growth strategy in Saudi Arabia, where our knowledge in the sector and excellent relations with the local authorities and our local partners mean that we are consolidating our presence and actively contributing to the development of the passenger transport sector in the country”.

In 2017, Moventia was given its first contract in Saudi Arabia to operate the urban transport service in Mecca. Following an initial five-year period in which the company completed the roll-out process (bus manufacture, the implementation of on-board technology, employee recruitment and depot construction; including garages, control centres, offices and employee housing), service operation successfully began in 2022. This service has led to mobility improvements for not only the inhabitants of Mecca but also the millions of pilgrims who travel to this city every year. With operations fully up and running now, Moventis has a workforce of 1,200 employees, 12 bus lines and 400 vehicles in the country, with which it successfully carried more than 25 million passengers in 2022.

It should also be noted that these concession contracts form part of a Saudi nationalisation plan embodied in its ‘Vision 2030’ strategy. This roadmap seeks to diversify business activity in the country beyond oil production and to boost such sectors as finance or industry with a view to becoming an international tourist destination.  

International strategy

Moventia is a benchmark multi-national company in the mobility sector that is focused on growth and internationalisation. It began a process of expansion in 2016 through a public bicycle service in Helsinki. Seven years later, it now operates on three continents (Europe, Asia and America) through various public transport services. 

Under this international expansion strategy, France has consolidated itself as a significant market for Moventia alongside Saudi Arabia. In 2017, the company won a contract to manage the urban, intercity and school bus service in the Montbéliard region and, in 2022, it was given another contract to manage the urban and school bus service in the Pays de Grasse agglomeration community in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of France (PACA).

Until now, the service carried out by the ten night lines ended on Thursdays around 00:00. The reason for the extension of the service is the notable increase in the mobility needs of users of Urban Transport during Thursday nights.

This change means that both Thursday and Friday nights, the night service will end at approximately the same time, with the exception of those days that are the eve of a holiday.

On the occasion of the extension of night transport hours on Thursday nights, the Commonwealth of the Region of Pamplona will carry out a campaign aimed at young people this week. The campaign will include the placement of informative hangers in the villavesas and the issuance of radio spots.

This campaign will also highlight the advantages of the on-demand stop service aimed at women travelling alone or in a group, which has been operating on all TUC night lines since September last year.

Complete information on the TUC service can be found on the Urban Transport website (www.infotuc.es) and on the Tu Villavesa app.

The Commonwealth of the Region of Pamplona (Mancomunidad de la Comarca de Pamplona in spanish) will develop a communication campaign over the next two weeks to promote the use of Regional Urban Transport, focusing especially on the young public and on-demand stop service for women. Starting on Monday, November 13, and under the slogan “Get on the villavesa!”, the campaign will highlight the advantages of this sustainable, accessible and safe mode of transport.

Moventis Illes, concessionaire of interurban public transport of the TIB network in Mallorca, has signed a collaboration agreement with driving schools in the territory where its service operates. The agreement is valid for one year and will be automatically renewed to add more years of commitment to Mallorcan society.

This new project promoted by the company aims to promote job placement. The division based in Mallorca of the Moventia group will grant a subsidy for students of the CAP course (Professional Aptitude Course) who are interested in accessing job offers from the transport operator.

During the course, the staff of the Moventis team will publicize the company and present the contract offer to the students. The opportunity will have a prior selection process through individual interviews, followed by a driving test, which will serve to assess the aptitudes of each candidate for the position, and, finally, the notification of the incorporation to the company to the candidates who have been selected.

Obtaining the grant will be delivered gradually during the first professional stage at Moventis Illes.

This initiative demonstrates the Moventia group’s commitment to society. The expert company in sustainable mobility reinforces its proposal of opportunities with the mission of promoting the labour sector.
