Promoting systems and services for sustainable mobility

MAPFRE insurance company promotes sustainable mobility along different dimensions put systems and services within the reach of people. At their R&D centre, CESVIMAP, they are working to reduce contaminating emissions by studying electric vehicles and trends such as sharing (for passenger vehicles as well as motor scooters, personal mobility vehicles such as e-scooters).

In addition, at their authorised centre for treating vehicles no longer in use, CESVIrecambios, they decontaminate and remove all the hazardous components from the vehicles once their useful life is over so materials can be recovered for reuse. Advocates of the circular economy, they can thus bring back at least 85% of the weight of the vehicle to the start of the lifecycle, thereby also contributing to giving more life to our planet.

From the business perspective, their new policy for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, Gama Cambio, incorporates ad hoc coverages and offers their customers ZERO emissions substitute vehicles, using more and more 100% electric shop vehicles and hybrid tow trucks to provide roadside assistance.

As in-house measures for employees, they offer alternatives to private transport, such as bus routes, and cutting back on business travel. they provide free charging stations for cars and bicycle parking to encourage their use, as well as incentives for ride sharing. They also offer environmental training to their employees.
