The Moventia Board of Directors has unanimously agreed to appoint Miquel Martí Pierre as the new CEO of Movento, the division offering private mobility solutions from Moventia, a company engaged in the sale, after-sales services and rental of cars and industrial vehicles.
Until now, Miquel Martí Pierre has been the Head of Expansion and Investment Analysis at Moventia and General Manager at Moventis. He will now take over the role previously held by Miquel Martí Escursell, his father. Following a 44-year career as a top executive at Movento, the latter will now focus on his role as Chairman of Moventia.
By appointing Miquel Martí Pierre to this position, the benchmark mobility group is launching a process of generational succession and made him the first member of the fourth generation of this family to take on the leading role at one of its two divisions. Miquel Martí Escursell, Chairman of Moventia, said “the generational transition at any family business is an extremely important moment in the life of that company. In our case, we have followed our protocol and I’m convinced that Miquel will serve Moventia according to three essential values that form part of our DNA: commitment, professionalism and respect for the company that he has lived with since he was a child”.
In turn, Miquel Martí Pierre, the new CEO of the division, added that “it is an honour that the family and especially my father trust in me to lead this project. We live in a time of disruptive change in the automotive sector, with an uncertain future that will require us to take very fast decisions if we want to adapt to some as yet unknown new realities. I therefore accept this challenge with all my heart and commitment, and I hope to at least equal the extraordinary legacy left by my father at the company and in the sector”.
Miquel Martí Pierre has also been one of five members of the Moventia Board of Directors since 2022, alongside Miquel Martí Escursell (Executive Chairman), Josep Maria Martí (CEO of Moventia and Executive Vice-President of Moventis), Sílvia Martí (Vice-President of Corporate Affairs at Moventia) and Santi Colomer Martí (Managing Director of Movento).

Various actions by Movento in December
On 2 December, AutoPlaVic received its first New Range Rover at the Gurb dealership and held an exclusive event to celebrate with our customers. The new Range Rover offers outstandingly sophisticated design, refinement and powerful capabilities.
That same week, Après Sky was held on the ski slopes of Masella, an event organised by Stern Motor.
Those attending the event enjoyed a spectacular day of snow that concluded with Carles Perez and El Gran German from Radio FlaixBac entertaining guests at the Masella Möod Lounge.
Furthermore, Sarsa Audi had the pleasure of organising a convoy for some of its customers with 10 models from the brand’s RS range. This event took place during the week of 13-17 December for seven days of adrenaline and speed.
The convoy’s journey comprised a loop around El Vallès, including road, dual carriageway and motorway sections so drivers could try out all the various driving modes. Two stops were included along the way so drivers could switch cars and thereby test several different models from the brand. One of these stops included a visit to the Cava Rovellats winery with a breakfast in the heart of nature. Finally, upon returning to the dealership, various gifts were handed out by Sarsa to all those who took part.
Turning our attention to Auser, an event was held on 14 December at the dealership in Terrassa to which several customers were invited in order to hear their opinions about Auser and the services we offer, as well as about the Renault and Dacia brands themselves.
Our analysis and conclusions from this event will help us improve the customer experience at our dealerships.
Finally, the classic San Silvestre de Badalona – Grand Prix Hyundai Motorprim took place on Friday 31 December. More than 1,250 runners took part in this last race of the year across the categories of 5 and 10 kilometres. Besides a great festive day of sport, both participants and spectators could also enjoy the new electric Hyundai KONA and the new Hyundai Tucson Hybrid on show at the Runner Fair. These vehicles also provided support during the race itself.
