Motorprim joins the ‘Together on the Asphalt’ campaign by Hyundai

Motorprim, the official Hyundai dealership of the Movento group, will provide a support car to all those cycling associations and clubs that ask for one to use whenever they go out training on the roads.

This is the Motorprim dealership’s way of taking part in the ‘Together on the Asphalt’ campaign launched by Hyundai in 2017, which seeks to protect cyclists and foster more civilised road sharing between cyclists and motor vehicle drivers. Presence at the back of the pack by the Hyundai vehicle fitted with special liveries will ensure that any vehicles overtaking the cyclists do so correctly, respecting the 1.5-metre distance required by law.

“Safety on the roads is essential, and that’s why we have joined this campaign”, explained Lluís Conesa, General Manager of Motorprim. “It is very important for vehicles and cyclists to protect one another, and we encourage all cycling clubs and associations to join the ‘Together on the Asphalt’ campaign”, he added.

All cycling associations and clubs that want a free support car can request one at: www.hyundai.es/experience/hyundaienaccion/juntos-en-el-asfalto

Sor Lucía Caram helping the underprivileged with Sarsa van

Sarsa, the Movento group’s official dealership for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Cupra and Skoda, has provided Sor Lucía Caram with a Crafter van so she can continue to help disadvantaged groups and individuals at risk of social exclusion.
 At present, the Convento de Santa Clara Foundation helps 1,600 families in Manresa and 4,500 families in other areas.

Sor Lucía Caram made an appeal via social media after one of the vans they use to distribute food broke down, and the Sarsa dealership responded swiftly to offer its support.

Sarsa has provided a Volkswagen Crafter van with a 3,000 kg load capacity that will be renewed every 6 months.

This action forms part of Moventia’s CSR policy and once again demonstrates the group’s commitment and involvement in society. Only recently, in December, Sarsa provided vehicles for charity use to the Enriqueta Villavecchia Children’s Oncology Foundation so the Three Wise Men could visit the homes of sick children unable to get out to see their parades.

Regional expansion by Movento following integration of Motorprim

The acquisition of Motorprim forms part of the expansion strategy being implemented by the automotive group in Catalonia.

Movento, the automotive division of Moventia, recently incorporated Motorprim into the group, an official Hyundai dealership operating in Badalona and Mataró. Integration of this company forms part of the global growth strategy being implemented by the family business to boost operations around the region. The acquisition of Motorprim in the Barcelonés Norte and Maresme area has resulted in the addition of another automotive brand of recognised standing. This operation adds over 1,000 sales units to the Movento group.

Movento and Motorprim share a similar track record given insofar as that both have 25 years of experience in the districts of Barcelonés and El Maresme. Motorprim represents Hyundai while Movento operates with the Renault and Dacia brands.

“The addition of this new brand represents a new and encouraging challenge for Moventia, which will no doubt make a positive contribution to the consolidation and positioning of Movento within its automotive business”, said Miquel Martí, Chairman of Moventia Group.

At present, Motorprim employs a total of 33 people and owns two facilities in Badalona and Mataró. Over the course of 2016, the dealership sold 700 new and 350 second-hand vehicles. In light of its positive results, Motorprim was officially recognised by Hyundai as one of the best dealerships for the brand in Europe and was given membership to its special ‘Frontier Dealer Club’ programme.
