Moventia presents latest edition of We Love Learning

A new edition of We Love Learning was organised on 22 and 23 March, an event by Netex Learning on Training and Technology at which ideas, experience and knowledge from authorities on the topic were presented. The event focused on such issues as the future of work, the latest learning trends and challenges in the post-COVID world of remote working, the use of micro-learning and agile learning to improve the learning experience in general, and how marketing is essential for e-learning initiatives.

Our Head of Internal Development and Communication, Susanna Vidal, attended the event to share a success story about the virtualisation process that our Training Department is currently undertaking as we continue adapting to changes in our environment.

Susanna said that “changes in the environment have forced us to adapt. New technologies, the way we communicate and the arrival of new generations with new values have also forced us to change how training is provided at companies if we want it to have an impact and be attractive”

Moventia is proud to take part in these conferences organised by Netex Learning, which have brought us closer to the latest trends in the e-learning sector and at which we have learned about experiences at other organisations. 

 

Moventis TCC Pamplona receives ‘Company of the Year 2022’ Award

Moventis TCC Pamplona, a part of the Moventia group and a benchmark in sustainable mobility, has been recognised as ‘Company of the Year 2022’ in the ‘Urban Transport’ category by the specialist magazine Autobuses & Autocares at the ceremony for the 30th edition of its ‘Companies of the Year’ Awards yesterday in Madrid at IFEMA.

The company received this award in recognition of its service quality, the implementation of new technologies and its experience in public passenger transport in Pamplona and the surrounding region, where it has been operating since 2009. The award was collected by the CEO of Moventia, Josep Maria Martí, from Jesús Velasco, Director of Transport at the Municipal Association of Pamplona.

Moventis TCC Pamplona has a fleet of 160 buses fitted with all the latest technology. In this regard, it includes a powerful and updated location (OSS), ticketing, WI-FI and real-time information system based on web and mobile apps with occupancy level prediction. 

Furthermore, the company was a European pioneer in the introduction of vehicles powered by alternative energy sources with a view to achieving neutral emissions in transport (the first pilot electric bus in Europe, the first 100% electric line in Spain, etc.).

 

This award recognises the effort by Moventis TCC Pamplona to achieve total integration with society in Pamplona and its region through commitments and agreements with various entities and social stakeholders over the last 12 years.

 

All these factors helped the panel choose the company as a winner this year. The panel also appreciated the efforts by Moventis TCC Pamplona to achieve maximum satisfaction for users of this public transport service.

 

According to Ramón Palau, General Manager of Moventis TCC Pamplona, “we are extremely excited to receive this award from the specialised magazine ‘Autobuses & Autocares’, which also recognises all the hard work done by every member of the team at TCC Pamplona”. He went on to add that “this award encourages us to keep working on the development of innovative and sustainable mobility solutions every day as part of our commitment to ensuring a safe and satisfactory travel experience to all our passengers while also looking after the environment”.

Moventia joins the fight against childhood cancer

Today, 15 February, is International Childhood Cancer Day, a date that is particularly important for us at Moventia. This year, Moventis Autobuses Lleida decided to take action alongside the Association of Children with Cancer (@afanoc_lleida) and joined the Put Your Cap On initiative (@posatlagorra), an event aimed at children and teenagers with cancer that will take place at La Seu Vella in Lleida on 27 March.

 

This event is a symbol of solidarity against childhood cancer, a big party that also seeks to raise social awareness about the reality of this disease. Everyone taking part will be able to enjoy free transport on our buses to La Seu Vella in Lleida, where the event will take place.

SARSA SUPPORTING THE CONVENTO DE SANTA CLARA FOUNDATION

In partnership with CaixaBank and CaixaBank Payments & Consumer, the “La Caixa” Foundation donated a total of 30,000 euros for the Convento de Santa Clara Foundation to have a 9-seater mini-van to transport vulnerable people and those in a poor financial situation so they can benefit from the eye health programme, dental checks and other socio-educational and recreational activities.

The action forms part of the “Solidarity Formula” programme, a CaixaBank initiative, that channels funds from the “La Caixa” Foundation and adds them to donations from companies and individuals to help social entities have the material resources they need to continue supporting the people and groups most in need.

The partnership created in Manresa is part of the “Solidarity Mobility” category, which seeks to provide sustainable or adapted vehicles to social entities that urgently need them. CaixaBank and CaixaBank Payments & Consumer have channelled a donation of 30,000 euros from the “La Caixa” Foundation.

In turn, the Sarsa dealership of the Movento group also contributed towards the purchase of this vehicle. Furthermore, employees at the company helped fill the mini-van with food, which was delivered to the Convento de Santa Clara Foundation for its programme to distribute food to vulnerable families.

The handover ceremony, which took place on the Sarsa Volkswagen premises in Manresa, was attended by the Regional Director for Catalonia of CaixaBank, Jaume Masana; the Director of the Foundation, Sor Lucia Caram; the Commercial Director of CaixaBank Consumer & Payments, Manel Ble; the General Manager of Sarsa Volkswagen, José Salgado; and the Marketing Director of Moventia, Sandra Llunell.

 

This charity initiative once again demonstrates Moventia’s firm commitment to continue supporting the well-being of those people and groups who most need it. In this regard, Moventia will maintain its commitment to active participation in efforts to build a better society by encouraging and promoting programmes or actions either in-house or in partnership with other non-profit entities and foundations. 

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.

 

Taxi Amic recognised for its work on transport services for PRM

Taxi Amic, the adapted taxi company belonging to Moventis that has partnered with TCC Transports Ciutat Comtal, has received the “award for commitment to transport services for persons with reduced mobility” at the I Catalonia Awards organised by the La Razón newspaper last December.

These awards, which recognise the work of companies and business leaders who have successfully responded to the needs of society within such a difficult scenario as the one we have today, highlight the more than 25-year track record of Taxi Amic in providing transport services to all those people who cannot use standard vehicles in the Barcelona area with an adapted mobility system that was the first of its kind in Europe.

This company offers its transport services to persons with reduced mobility via a fleet of fully adapted taxis and a one-to-one process given that the specific nature of this service requires a highly personalised response for its users. Taxi Amic drivers are not only engaged in transporting people from one place to another but also perform other roles, such as assistance and support for accessing and alighting from the vehicle, accompaniment to and from the pavement, wheelchair anchoring and safety belt use.

Furthermore, Taxi Amic not only provides its adapted transport services in the Barcelona area but also offers transfers to Barcelona Airport and the Port of Barcelona, as well as motorway journeys outside of Barcelona, exclusively to persons with reduced mobility.

As Jordi Galbán, Manager of Taxi Amic, explains “we are very happy to receive this recognition of our commitment to mobility for people who, because of a disability, are unable to use conventional public transport services. We at Taxi Amic work hard every day to offer them the best travel experience and, in short, do our bit to help build a better society”. 

 

Moventia at the Palace of Catalan Music

 

Since 2018, Moventia has been working with the Orfeó Català – Palace of Catalan Music Foundation. This foundation’s mission is to promote music with a particular focus on choral singing and knowledge and communication of cultural heritage. Under this partnership, Moventia sponsored a concert performance of Missa Scala Aretina by Francesc Valls with “La Grande Chapelle” on 21 December. The Montserrat cathedral choir was due to take part in this concert. However, a last-minute case of COVID in one of the children meant they were unable to attend.

 

Moventia joins the Eurofirms Foundation campaign

 

To help celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Eurofirms Foundation launched its #IgualdeDiferentes #Igualdeprofesionales [#EquallyDifferent #EquallyProfessional] campaign to highlight the talent and skills of persons with disabilities who are often obscured by the numerous stereotypes that exist today.

The campaign is based on five illustrations by the prestigious illustrator, Javier Royo, that reveal how persons with disabilities are sometimes treated in order to underline the importance of recognising them as professionals in their own right.

Moventia has joined this initiative under its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.

 

 

Sarsa Terrassa, venue for the Plenary Session of the Terrassa Chamber of Commerce

Sarsa Terrassa, the official dealership for Audi, Seat, Skoda, Cupra and Volkswagen located between Calle Cinca and Calle Jiloca was the venue recently chosen by the Terrassa Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Services to hold its plenary session.

The event, which took place on the top floor of the dealership where the Audi Selection Plus range of second-hand vehicles can be found, was attended by members of the organisation’s plenary session, consisting of various executives and business leaders from the area of influence covered by this chamber of commerce, to analyse and debate several issues related to the current and future status of the business fabric in Terrassa.

The Managing Director of the Terrassa Chamber of Commerce, Josep Prats, said “I would like to thank Enric Fauste, General Manager of Sarsa, for the mutual trust that has been built up together between the chamber of commerce and Sarsa, culminating in this event being held here today”.

In response, Enric Fauste, General Manager of Sarsa went on to add that “it is our pleasure that such an important organisation as the Terrassa Chamber of Commerce would choose our premises to hold one of its most important annual meetings”.

Ramon Talamàs, President of the Terrassa Chamber of Commerce, expressed his gratitude for the service provided by Sarsa Terrassa to the organisation and went on to add that, “thanks to this system of meetings held away from our own premises, we can get closer to the reality and circumstances of local businesses, such as the Moventia Group in this case. We have clearly seen its strong capacity and forward-looking vision of the automotive sector and mobility”. 

Finally, Miquel Martí, Chairman of Moventia, said “we are very happy to be here today and to have this chance to take part in an event by the chamber of commerce that gathers such a great deal of the business fabric of Terrassa in one place, an essential way to promote the city’s economy”.

Moventia supports the 2021 La Marató

Moventia has firmly maintained its commitment to society and even made it stronger at a time when support for tackling some tough circumstances is so very much needed. Moventia wants to be actively involved in developing a better society, whether that be by promoting its own programmes or by collaborating with non-profit entities and foundations in various areas. Hence, Moventia is supporting the TV3 “La Marató” once again this year, this time with two Izaro and Calella coaches for use by the various artists who will perform during the show.

The charity programme on TV3 and Catalunya Ràdio will air on Sunday, 19 December and will be focused on mental health problems. These issues are very common and affect one in four people at some point in their life. They have a heavy impact on society and healthcare services, as well as on the quality of life for those affected and others around them.

You can support this campaign by making your donation by bank transfer, the Internet, CaixaBank ATMs or Bizum
