Commitment to Sustainable Mobility

Saba, a leading industrial operator in mobility services specializing in car park management, has completed a comprehensive renovation of the Metro-Nuevos Ministerios car park in Madrid, establishing it as one of the largest urban fast-charging hubs for electric vehicles in Spain. The project has increased the total surface area by 25%, offering 157 parking spaces, 40 of which are equipped for fast charging with 100% renewable energy, expected to expand to 60 in the coming months. With an installed capacity of 3,500 kW, electric vehicles can fully recharge in just 15 minutes.

Located on Paseo de la Castellana, next to the Metro and Cercanías station of Nuevos Ministerios—one of the busiest in the network with over 185,000 daily passengers—the car park becomes a strategic intermodal hub, facilitating access to public transport and promoting more efficient and sustainable mobility. Saba has managed this car park since 2014.

The renovation includes significant improvements in accessibility, such as a new elevator and adapted routes, as well as enhancements in safety, ventilation, and lighting. The facility also features license plate recognition for entry and exit, high-efficiency LED lighting, mobile network coverage, and the VIA T system, which allows ticketless access and payment without using a pay station.

This project is part of the Group’s strategy to consolidate its car parks as hubs for sustainable urban mobility. The company works to adapt its city infrastructures to changing mobility habits and to respond to the latest trends in sustainable urban mobility. It has a network of car parks converted into mobility hubs for people (electric vehicle, sharing), companies (dynamic solutions for fleets) and goods (sustainable last-mile distribution).

Regarding electric vehicles, in 2024 the company has over 1,600 charging points across its car parks, 730 of which are operated by Saba (20% more than in 2023) through strategic agreements, with the rest managed by third parties. In 2024, Saba’s own charging points have saved 1,100 tons of CO₂ emissions, representing a 32% increase compared to 2023. There have also been increases in charging hours (+24%) and energy delivered (+32%).

The Metro-Nuevos Ministerios project reinforces the strategic commitment to electric vehicles, offering the sector’s most extensive charging network. It emphasizes fast charging, while also providing semi-fast charging for short-term parking and dedicated Parkelectric charging for subscribers with fixed spaces, and for professional fleets and car sharing/rental services.

Additionally, this car park strengthens Saba’s presence in Madrid, where it manages nearly 4,000 parking spaces across six car parks, including key locations such as Atocha and Chamartín stations. Saba employs over 2,065 people, operates in 189 cities across nine countries in Europe and Latin America, and manages 1,004 car parks with 340,000 parking spaces.
