The third edition of Moveo begins today, organised by the Electric Vehicle Users Association (AUVE) and the Oviedo City Council.
It will take place from 12 to 14 September at the Oviedo Exhibition and Conference Centre and the surrounding streets, which will be transformed into a sustainability hub thanks to the various activities related to sustainable mobility, smart cities, renewable energy, the circular economy, and the environment.
On Friday 13 and Saturday 14, visitors can explore the different exhibitor stands from 11:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00, spread across more than 3,500 square metres of available space, where some of the most important Asturian, national, and international companies will showcase their products and services to attendees.
Visitors will be able to discover the latest innovations from nearly 30 brands in the sector, such as Iberdrola, Porsche, Adarsa, CEPSA, Masnorte Renovables, Capri Bikes, Masymas, ALSA, Renault, FAEN, BYD, Naeco, Wolfast, Feníe Energía, Alimerka, and Bosquia, among others.
Moveo will feature the Renault 5 electric vehicle, and for those interested in passenger transport innovation, attendees will have the opportunity to see an autonomous electric bus from ALSA.
In addition, more than 15 electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles will be available for free test drives from brands such as BYD, Mercedes, Smart, MG, Omoda, Hyundai, and Renault.
In total, Moveo will have 35 vehicles on hand to bring sustainable mobility closer to the Asturian population.
Ángel García, president of AUVE, comments: “Moveo aims to create a space capable of bringing together professionals from sustainable mobility, renewable energy, and other sectors driving sustainability, while also engaging with the wider Asturian community.”
“We encourage everyone to come to Moveo and discover the latest innovations from companies that are revolutionising the future,” he adds.
