The agreement also includes the installation of charging points at Citroën specialised electric vehicle dealerships, and providing Citroën with battery charging equipment for its own fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles.

Citroën will act as distributor and prescriber of charging stations while BlueMobility will manufacture and maintain the equipment. FCC will undertake the necessary electrical installations for the equipment that BlueMobility will provide to Automóviles Citroën España.

Automóviles Citroën España

Citroën was Spain's leading supplier of passenger cars and commercial vehicles under 5 tonnes in 2010. The company has a long-standing policy of reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, and Citroën is a leading brand in environmental terms. For example, 42% of Citroën vehicles sold in Europe have CO2 emissions under 130g/km.

Electric propulsion is one of the options Citroën is developing with a view to achieving ecological mobility. Citroën's new C-Zero car makes it one of the first general automobile companies in Europe to have an electric car on the market.

It researches, develops, manufactures, markets, provides technical support and operates intelligent charging networks for electric vehicles and other solutions, as well as consulting in related fields. BlueMobility has experience in major charging infrastructure projects such as the city networks it has established with partner Gas Natural Soluciones, industrial installations and other electric mobility projects.

FCC, a leading European citizen services company, is strongly committed to sustainable development. It is also highly diversified in terms of both business and region, with presence in 54 countries. Its main business areas are infrastructure, environmental services, and energy.

Under its new FCC Industrial brand, created late in 2010 under its diversification strategy, FCC will provide the necessary infrastructure for implementing and operating charging points and integrating electrical installations.

In this way, the FCC Group maintains a firm commitment to eco-efficient mobility.
