The new urban mobility: The approach of Acciona, Silence and the DGT

In recent years, urban mobility has undergone a significant transformation towards sustainability, and key actors such as Acciona, Silence and the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) are leading this transition. These three protagonists are redefining the way we move in cities, promoting alternatives that are not only more environmentally friendly, but also more accessible and convenient for citizens.

1. Acciona: Shared and electric mobility

Acciona has taken a firm step towards a more ecological mobility with its “carsharing” service or electric car rental for minutes. The company offers fleets of electric vehicles in the main Spanish cities, allowing users to move without worrying about emissions and thus contributing to the reduction of urban pollution. This shared mobility option is not only cheaper, but also reduces the need to own a vehicle, minimising congestion on the streets.

Through this initiative, Acciona not only offers a more sustainable alternative, but also encourages a change in the mentality of users, who begin to see mobility as a service rather than a property. This approach also responds to the growing demand for flexible services that can be adapted to the daily needs of citizens.

2. Silence: The alternative in Electric Scooters

Silence has established itself as a benchmark in “motorsharing” and in the sale of electric scooters for urban mobility. The company offers both electric motorcycles for shared use and individual scooters for those who prefer a personal and emission-free option. This approach has been popularised especially in densely populated cities, where the use of electric motorcycles allows you to move in an agile way and without generating pollution.

One of the great advantages of Silence’s electric scooters is the reduction of noise pollution, a problem increasingly present in large cities. In addition, the company has developed a removable battery model that facilitates charging at home or in any convenient space, providing a practical solution adapted to urban life.

3. The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT): Promoting Policies for sustainable mobility

The DGT has adopted a proactive position in the promotion of electric mobility and the regulation of low-emission zones. Among its initiatives, the regulations that favour the use of electric vehicles and restrict the access of the most polluting vehicles in central areas stand out. This type of measure seeks to encourage the use of sustainable transport and reduce the carbon footprint of cities.

In addition, the DGT collaborates with other government entities to develop cargo infrastructure and to raise awareness among citizens about the importance of opting for cleaner vehicles. Its commitment to safety and the environment is reflected in policies and campaigns that inform and facilitate the transition to a more sustainable mobility system.

Sustainable mobility: A growing trend

Shared and electric mobility is gaining ground in the main cities of Spain and Europe. The combination of “carsharing” services such as Acciona, Silence’s “motorsharing” and the sustainable policies of the DGT has created an ecosystem in which more and more people can access a transport alternative that is both practical and responsible.

In addition, shared electric mobility responds to current urbanisation challenges, as it reduces congestion, improves air quality and reduces noise. For many users, the possibility of travelling without having to own a vehicle also represents a benefit in terms of costs and flexibility. 

Conclusion

Acciona, Silence and DGT are laying the foundations for a new era in urban mobility. With their initiatives, they are showing that it is possible to move around the city in a more environmentally friendly way, and at the same time more convenient for the user. As awareness of sustainability grows, these companies and organisations are in a strategic position to lead the change towards cleaner, safer and more efficient cities.

Collaboration between mobility companies and government policies will continue to be essential for sustainable urban mobility to become the norm and not the exception. The vision of Acciona, Silence and the DGT shows that improved and ecological urban mobility is not only possible, but is within our reach.
