We are FCC - Nº17

The Catalan Institute of Health re- cently awarded FCC Medio Am- biente the contract for the facility management service for a period of two years plus two extensions. The company’s relationship with this entity dates back to 2007, the year from which it has provided uninte- rrupted service. In order to proper- ly provide service in the awarded areas, which are Lleida, Tarrago- na, Girona, Barcelona city and the southern metropolitan area, the company will have 22 maintenance technicians, four service managers and the support of the different de - partments of the division. In this new contract, FCC Medio Ambiente is committed to the im- plementation of clean technolo- gies, which is why the company is adding 22 units of vehicles with an Environmental 0 Label from the Di- rectorate General of Traffic (DGT) into its fleet. To implement the con - FCC Medio Ambiente successfully implements e-mobility technologies in building and facilities management services for the Institut Català de la Salut (Catalan Health Institute) (Catalonia) FCC Medio Ambiente workers, next to the new fleet of Environmental Label 0 vehicles implemented for the Institut Catalá de la Salut in Barcelona.

FCC Medio Ambiente maintenance service worker connects one of the new electric vehicles to the charging point. tract, KIA NIRO plug-in hybrid vehi- cles (PHEV) have been purchased, adapted and transformed for in- dustrial use with the corresponding approval from the Regional Ministry of Industry. In addition to the intelligent elec- tric recharging installations that the company has in its central fa- cility, additional charging points have been installed throughout the working area so that maintenan- ce technicians can optimise their journeys and thus maximise effec - tive working times. In this way, the workers start their day at the custo- mer’s own centre without having to go to the central installations, also contributing to minimising emis- sions into the atmosphere. With this new milestone, FCC Me- dio Ambiente reinforces its com- mitment to the environment and to reducing its carbon footprint, while at the same time ensuring the ope- rational availability of all its equip- ment in a 24-hour, 365-days-a-year service. One of the company’s ob- jectives is to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, leading to the im- provement of its service vehicles in recent years. Innovation is in the DNA of FCC Medio Ambiente, which has been researching electric mobility for more than 45 years, and develo- ped its first 100% electric collec - tion truck in 1974. It currently has a fleet of more than 16,000 vehicles, of which 821 are electric and 1,305 are CNG or Bi-Power. I N N O V A T I O N 63 I N N O V A T I O N
