Why volt?
Both the intrinsic meaning of the word volt and its complementary meanings have played an important role in the name of the company.
The "volt" is the international system unit for measuring electrical potential, automotive force, and electrical voltage difference.
In turn, it is complemented with the meaning "to take a volt", to leave somewhere to take a walk.
"For Mutua, Voltio combines two fundamental aspects that show the company's commitment: electrification or sustainable mobility and the increasing need of citizens to move over small distances
in a simple and agile way
", explains Conrado Espí.
mobility strategy
The launch of Voltio is part of Mutua's diversification strategy in the field of urban mobility, in which the company has been working for years and which seeks to
cover all the needs of its customers
so that they can achieve the greatest satisfaction and the best user experience.
The investments of Centauro (rental vehicles), Chipi (digital mobility comparator), Cabify (transport vehicle with driver), El Parking and Imbric (urban mobility platforms) and NIW (digital vehicle purchase platform) are in this line of growth in new businesses related to mobility.
"The presence of Mutua Madrileña in all these companies that operate in different fields configures a collaborative and comprehensive mobility ecosystem," explains Zambrana.
Mutua demonstrates with its new
carsharing
project that it is open to carrying out operations that generate growth opportunities, alongside insurance, and that guarantee the
stable and sustained development of the company.
"Customers today are multimodal and require simplified access and have different mobility solutions within reach. At Mutua we are expanding our portfolio of services in this area precisely with the aim of being able to cover all their needs. The future inevitably points to coexistence of various models and customer profiles with different mobility needs and
our commitment is to offer them personalized solutions
", says Víctor Zambrana.
