The offer of services that socialise electromobility has gained great relevance in a market where emission-free vehicles remain very expensive. With this, associations such as Tucar and SQM Litio have travelled more than two million kilometres per month, saving 600 tonnes of CO2 to date.
SQM Lithium, a world leader in lithium production, and Tucar, an innovative transportation company, have deepened their strategic alliance, which marks a milestone in the Chile’s sustainable mobility. The collaboration integrates a fleet of electric cars from Tucar powered by SQM Lithium technologyand seeks to revolutionize urban transport and significantly reduce the carbon footprint in our cities.
“Our commitment is to strengthen the sustainable development of cities and communities. Through the various goals we have set, we seek to increase the positive impact at a social, economic and environmental level that we have already generated, and to provide the country with even more concrete solutions and innovations for human development, looking to the future,” explained Javier Silva, Sustainability and Community Relations Manager at SQM Litio.
What is the real importance of this type of collaboration for the correct development of the country and its inhabitants, especially in the most populated and environmentally polluted communities? Here we detail the most relevant ones:
Driving innovation and technology
The strategic alliance between SQM Litio and Tucar not only represents an advance in the use of electric vehicles and the social culture of electromobilitybut also a commitment to the technological innovation. SQM Litio, recognized for its leadership in lithium production, contributes its extensive experience and knowledge to develop clean and efficient energy solutions for the electric cars that Tucar supplies. The collaboration thus reinforces Chile’s role as a global leader in the electromobility industry and battery technology.
Commitment to environmental sustainability
The use of Tucar electric vehicles, in partnership with SQM Lithium, It is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in our cities. The company currently records more than two million kilometres travelled per month, and savings of 600 tonnes of CO2.
From the SQM Lithium side, this takes on special relevance after having launched its “Sustainability Strategy” in 2020, which seeks to reduce carbon emissions and minimize environmental impact, aspiring to Carbon neutrality for lithium products by 2030and for all its products by 2040. The company is therefore evaluating new technologies and alliances to improve its production, address climate risks and contribute to decarbonisation.
Benefits for the economy and society
In addition to its environmental benefits, this alliance has the potential to generate new economic and employment opportunities. The production and development of lithium-based technologies can attract investment and foster the growth of the lithium value chain in Chile. In addition, the creation of jobs in new technological areas offers professional development opportunities for the Chilean workforce.
At the same time, the importance of being able to socialize electromobility is a challenge for everyone at the national level. Today, acquiring an electric vehicle involves a large investment, which is why alliances such as those between SQM Litio, Tucar and Uber, promote – from the private sector – that more and more people can enjoy the benefits of electromobility.
Clean and efficient cities
SQM Lithium and Tucar are committed to improve the quality of life of citizens by providing cleaner and more efficient transportation options, at a price that is friendly to mobility app users. Electric mobility, powered by SQM’s innovative lithium battery technology, offers a sustainable alternative for daily transportation, reducing the carbon footprint and promoting a more efficient and healthier urban environment.
