PEOPLE&PLANET: Newsletter #22 English

Hello!

Imagine an electric car that charges in just 30 seconds—no, it's not a video game; it's our new reality. This July, we launched the Silence S04, the first electric nanocar with removable batteries. We also unveiled one of the most significant archaeological finds in recent years on the Iberian Peninsula and announced that ACCIONA Culture will be developing two iconic museums in New York: the Hip Hop Museum and the Ellis Island Museum.

And that's just the start: we are introducing a new robot to aid in construction processes, rolling out more projects to drive sustainable development, and sharing stories of two #ACCIONAteam members who exemplify the human quality of our professionals.

Let's dive in!

ACCIONA LAUNCHES SILENCE S04, THE FIRST ELECTRIC URBAN NANOCAR WITH REMOVABLE BATTERIES

What once seemed like a dream is quickly becoming reality. We are thrilled to introduce the first electric city car with removable batteries, allowing for quick swaps with fully charged ones in under 30 seconds. The S04 represents our vision of a city seamlessly connected by electric and sustainable mobility.

ACCIONA USES NEW ROBOT FOR ALENTEJO HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION IN PORTUGAL

Did you know we are the first Spanish infrastructure company to continuously use a robot on site? The new HP SitePrint robot, employed in the construction of a hospital in Portugal, can print lines and text directly onto surfaces.

By introducing this robot, we overcame one of the main construction challenges of the project: executing the interior partitions of the building over a 140,000 m² floor area.

START-UP OF THE TUNNEL BORING MACHINE FOR THE S19 HIGHWAY IN POLAND

So we have just begun the construction of the S19 highway in Poland, featuring a double tunnel stretching over 2 km. We are excited for the journey ahead with our tunnel boring machine “Karpatka” and will keep you updated.
