Energy Transitions Podcast: How electric mobility can unlock business opportunities for Spain's fleets

As electrification continues to reshape Europe’s transport landscape, Spain offers a compelling case study—not only in the rollout of electric fleets, but in how this rollout creates opportunities to evolve business models and energy partnerships.

As demand for electrified urban transport grows, the role of fleet operators becomes increasingly central. Unlike private users, fleet vehicles are in constant operation, placing distinct demands on infrastructure, energy access, and operational efficiency.

In the third episode of a special four-part miniseries of the Energy Transitions Podcast exploring Spain’s journey to greener mobility, host Yusuf Latief speaks with Jacobo Domínguez-Blanco, CEO of Vecttor, a Spanish company specialising in passenger transportation through vehicles with drivers (VTC).

Episode 2: Fitting EVs into Spain’s power system

Domínguez-Blanco outlines how these pressures are forcing a rethink in how fleets are managed, charged, and integrated into urban energy systems. He also draws on the company’s partnership with Iberdrola, where energy saving certificates (ESCs) are used to monetise fleet electrification, to discuss the opportunities e-mobility is opening up for business in Spain.

Tune in to hear all about:

• How moving from ownership to service-based and shared-use models enables smarter electrification;
• How partnerships with utilities like Iberdrola are helping to close the infrastructure gap;
• How ESCs can unlock profitability from EV fleets;
• The three bottlenecks barring fleet electrification and the scaling up of its business models: infrastructure, cost of cars, and making the end product useful for the customer;
• Why cross-sector alignment is essential to move forward.
