Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (BSM) is presenting its new car park model with the reopening of Litoral Port. This car park, with an entrance and exit on Avinguda del Litoral by the Port Olímpic, is the first to feature the new look of the Aparcaments B:SM network, the largest in Barcelona with 43 car parks throughout the city’s neighbourhoods.
The renovation of the car park, has made it possible to provide spaces for services that go beyond vehicle parking and address city residents’ new habits and needs.
In this way, the Litoral Port car park becomes the first in the network to revamp its facilities and brand identity and expand its services in order to prioritise users and adapt to an increasingly digital, sustainability-conscious Barcelona.
Additionally, it will also be the first in the network to run partially on renewable electric energy generated by the Port Olímpic’s solar panels. This is expected to happen in 2026, when this installation will provide electricity to other BSM facilities beyond the port, making it the largest shared self-consumption photovoltaic installation in the city.
A pioneering monitoring system and a new customer service space
As for technological improvements, the car park incorporates digital devices that provide information in a dynamic, user-friendly format.
It also has an innovative monitoring system for all spaces, featuring pioneering Aparcaments B:SM technology that gives car park staff remote access to information on occupancy level, while also providing live footage of each parking spot.
Furthermore, the number plate reading system allowing vehicles to enter and exit the car park has been optimised.
Another notable addition is the Customer Space, which replaces the control room and is located at the entrance to the car park, offering a welcoming environment where users can receive in-person assistance if they have any issues. The space also has an interactive screen that provides video-call service when the office is closed, making the car park experience more convenient, streamlined and friendly, not to mention safer as well.
Preferential area for charging electric vehicles
The new car park model prioritises sustainable mobility. That’s why Litoral Port has a single well-marked area for 16 Endolla Barcelona charging stations. More specifically, the space includes 12 charging stations for cars and 4 for motorcycles, in addition to the 1,000 stations that Endolla Barcelona is already operating throughout the city.
Normal charging, the recommended option
Remember that to keep electric vehicle batteries in the best shape possible and extend their life, industry professionals emphasise the importance of using low-power connectors as your standard charging method.
Go to the Endolla network to look for the appropriate connector for conveniently and easily charging your electric vehicle. Make an informed choice about the charging option you need at any time and remember to use the normal-charging option for regular charging.
