Resounding success for Etecnic at the Municipalia 2023 International Fair
The Municipalia International Fair is a benchmark event for city councils, serving as a venue to discover the most innovative and efficient solutions alongside a major exhibition area featuring industry leaders, as well as dedicated spaces to share experiences, current challenges, and technical expertise through conferences, workshops, and international missions.
The 22nd edition of the Municipalia 2023 International Fair concluded with resounding success, leaving behind a trail of key innovations in the electric mobility sector.
Etecnic, the standout participant in electric mobility
As a leader in sustainable mobility solutions, Etecnic captured the attention of visitors, experts, and exhibitors alike by offering a comprehensive end-to-end service covering consultancy, engineering, installation, operation, billing, and maintenance for charging networks. This end-to-end service enables charging point owners to build profitable, sustainable business models.
With a prominent presence at Stand 239A showcasing its Etecnic360 service, Etecnic highlighted the growing necessity for municipal authorities to access turnkey solutions that allow them to deliver simple, seamless, and reliable EV charging services to their residents.
Additionally, Etecnic presented its municipal electric mobility management platform and shared real-world case studies from other local authorities—such as Martorell City Council and Sant Quirze del Vallès City Council featuring solar carport installations, alongside the Boca de la Mina Innovation and Training Center (Reus) belonging to the Provincial Council of Tarragona. These success stories demonstrated how Etecnic leverages its field expertise to implement tailored strategies that optimize energy efficiency and lower operational costs.

Looking ahead to Municipalia 2025
A notable highlight of this year’s edition was that all municipal service vehicles on display were 100% electric, with the vast majority of participating companies featuring sustainable solutions. Following this year’s success, expectations for the next edition of the Municipalia International Fair in 2025 are higher than ever.
Through its strong presence and innovative electric mobility portfolio, Etecnic has proven itself to be a key player in transforming urban environments and driving a sustainable future.
