INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Build resilient infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Economic growth, social advancement and action against the climate emergency depend largely on investment in infrastructure, sustainable industrial development and technological progress. Today, about 1 billion people live more than 2 km from a roadway, 940 million live without electricity, and 663 million lack improved drinking water sources.
ACCIONA participates in the entire infrastructure construction value chain, from the identification of opportunity, design and execution, to the operation and maintenance of the constructed works, using the most advanced and innovative techniques.
Performance quality and safety are two of the criteria that maximize the company's value proposal in the development of large infrastructure projects and that differentiate it from other competitors in the construction field.
The project involves the design, construction of civil works, vehicles and systems, financing, operation and maintenance, as well as the provision of rolling stock. This system connects the municipalities of Barcelona, Hospitalet and Baix Llobregat, and includes a total of 29 stations, with connections to Metro lines 3 and 5, and two other suburban train stations.
The fleet consists of nineteen 32.5-m long carriages with a capacity for 230 passengers. Payments are based on an availability mechanism until the project is turned back over in 2032.
