octo. 29 2009 | Repsol and the Basque energy board agree to create a network for electric vehicles in the Basque country
Repsol’s Chairman, Antonio Brufau, and the Basque Regional Minister for Industry and Energy, Bernabe Unda, agreed to jointly develop a network to recharge electric cars in the Basque Country. The agreement, signed at the regional government’s headquarters, has the backing of Regional President Patxi Lopez.
The partners will carry out an initial study to asses the viability of different battery-recharging systems and quick-change battery services for electric vehicles.
Following the initial study, technical specifications for the chosen solution will be determined and the ideal locations to develop the network will be selected.
Antonio Brufau, Chairman of Spain’s largest supplier of fuel for transportation, said “Repsol shares society’s concerns, and for this reason we participate in the development of new technologies for transport.” The company is analysing new business models that may arise from the introduction of new vehicles, specially electric ones.
The agreement “aims to contribute to security of supply with fuels that are efficient in terms of costs and which contribute to achieving global sustainability targets,” Brufau said.
