"HIGHLY REQUESTED SERVICE" – That's what they call the first rural carsharing in the province of Badajoz

In Talavera la Real, a municipality between Badajoz and Mérida with just over 5,000 residents, there is already another carsharing service thanks to Vive by Hyundai and Dealerbest Technology. This is really growing non-stop!

Once again, the reception has been wonderful. Talavera la Real is the eighteenth town where there is already a 100% electric carsharing service, and therefore, a public shared car service that generates no negative CO2 emissions impact.

And that is the reason why, during the A ESTA HORA programme on Canal Extremadura, its presenter described this service as «Highly requested service» after seeing the queue of residents waiting to drive their VIVe.

In fact, she was not the only one. One of the residents commented in this same report: “This initiative is great. Not every household has several cars, but most families have several driving licences and can make the most of doing their errands when the car is not at home.”

Residents of Talavera la Real will enjoy Hyundai’s ‘rural carsharing’ free of charge for three months

Maxi González, from Hyundai Maven e Hijos, explains to the mayor of Talavera la Real how to use the app.

VIVe by Hyundai, an example of co-ordination and co-operation

The most important thing of all is that the people of Talavera already enjoy today an affordable, non-polluting and public way of getting around thanks to the collaboration of three great “mobilising” players.

On the one hand, the collaboration of the Maven e Hijos Dealership, from the Hyundai dealer network, who have placed the Hyundai KONA Electric in Talavera. A model that, on the other hand, could not be better for this purpose, as it offers more than 500 km of range with its all-road design. Perfect for both city and countryside.

On the other hand, we must acknowledge the invaluable trust that local councils, in this case that of Talavera la Real, place in such an exciting project that is so capable of improving the quality of life of their residents through shared mobility.

Finally, Dealerbest’s collaboration is what provides both the dealership and the people of Talavera with the technology needed to use a fantastic electric SUV simply by downloading an App available on any smartphone.

All 3 “partners” working together to pool the vehicle, the technology and the space needed so that life in Talavera la Real, from now on, has changed forever.
