The Autolux electric fleet: Tesla Model S and a 100% electric goal

Autolux offers an Electric category with the Tesla Model S and aims to make its entire fleet 100% electric in the coming years. For companies that publish sustainability reports, choosing electric vehicles for ground transfers is a concrete way to reduce the impact of business travel by road in Barcelona and Catalonia.

This article explains what the Electric category offers, how it fits into our service and what it can mean for your company.

The Electric category

The Electric category in our fleet is the Tesla Model S, a large, fully electric saloon. It comes with the same service as every other category:

• Pre-booked, with a fixed price confirmed at booking.
• A driver in suit and tie who speaks more than one language.
• Airport pickup with a name sign in the arrivals hall.
• Available for transfers and for our hourly chauffeur service.

For passengers, the main difference is how quiet the cabin is, which makes it easy to work, take a call or rest during the journey. On longer trips, such as a transfer from the Penedès to the airport or a full day of meetings around Barcelona, that calm is especially noticeable. It is also a comfortable way to arrive after a long-haul flight.

If you would like to travel in an electric vehicle, choose the Electric category when you book and we will confirm availability.

The goal: a 100% electric fleet

Autolux is investing in electric vehicles with the aim of making the whole fleet electric in the coming years. Today the fleet has four categories:

• Business: Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6.
• Top: long wheelbase Mercedes S-Class.
• Electric: Tesla Model S.
• Top-Van: minivan for up to 8 passengers.

The transition is gradual, as vehicles are renewed and as the market offers suitable electric models for each category, such as minivans and executive saloons.

What it means for companies

More and more companies have to report on the environmental impact of their activity. In many sustainability reports, business travel counts towards indirect emissions, and road transport at the destination is part of that travel.

Choosing an electric vehicle for transfers can help in several ways:

• Consistency with your travel policy. If your company prioritises low-emission options, the Electric category fits directly.
• Zero tailpipe emissions. An electric vehicle produces no exhaust emissions during the journey, which matters in cities.
• Traceability. With invoicing by department, cost centre or reference, it is easier to identify services and group them by project or business unit.
• A consistent message to clients and guests. Picking up a client or a speaker in an electric vehicle matches the commitments many companies make publicly.
