Andamur offers a Healthy Menu in all its restaurants

Andamur presenta un Menú Saludable en todos sus restaurantes dentro del plan de RSC #CuidamosLoQueImporta

As of today, all of Andamur service stations will offer healthy menus in their restaurants in order to look after drivers’ diets. All of them have been studied and prepared by a nutritionist expert in the matter so that drivers are offered more complete and healthier options. From today, 1 March, the new menus are available in all of Andamur service stations that have a restaurant, together with their usual menus, and they will be different in each of the restaurants.

At Andamur, we are aware of how difficult is it for drivers to have a healthy life. They spend many hours driving their trucks, sometimes at night time and for long periods of time, so we think it is very important to provide them with this type of services. By offering them the possibility to follow a balanced diet, we try to promote healthier habits in their routes.

This action is included in the Corporate Social Responsibility plan #WeLookAfterWhatMatters and places drivers at the core in order to look after them and their working environment. This is another action aiming at making drivers’ daily routine easier and it adds up to the initiatives recently launched by the Andamur team. These initiatives always focus on drivers’ health, such as the opening of a gym at Andamur La Junquera or the provision of free fruit corners in its service stations.

All these actions seek to achieve the same aim: to continue making drivers’ lives easier on the road. Drivers will not have to worry about the calories consumed in their route, since Andamur offers balanced diets safeguarding their health with this new action. This important improvement in the service proposal offered aims at making drivers feel at home in the Andamur service areas.

Andamur has planted a forest

Andamur planta un bosque dentro de su programa #CuidamosLoQueImporta

At Andamur #WeLookAfterWhatMatters, and that is why we are aware of the major challenges our society is facing. A critical matter is taking care of the environment and the importance of preserving and creating forests, since they are the ones that better protect our environment.

To this end, the whole Andamur team wanted to do something big for the environment. That is why we have planted an Andamur Forest.  Last 23 February, Andamur workers and their families went to Finca Pública de los Halagüeces, within the municipality of Lorca (Sierra Espuña) where, in collaboration with the association Bosqueo2, we planted dozens of Wild Olive Trees, Black Hawthorns and Mastic Trees.

The Andamur plantation will be able to absorb 2.8 tonnes of CO2 a year in the medium term in the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. Precisely in the geographical area facing more aridity problems in Europe, we are contributing this way to the fight against desertification, protecting the soil from flooding episodes, improving biodiversity, landscapes and, more importantly, acting as a lung and turning into a carbon sink.

Following this action, the Andamur team completed a hiking route at the gorge Estrecho de la Arboleja, finalising a great day together with a meal for all participants.

This action, included within the CSR plan #WeLookAfterWhatMatters, safeguards the protection of the environment. At Andamur, we are aware of the importance of taking care of drivers and their environment, so this action adds to those already carried out aiming at achieving this aim.

Thus, we are sure that we will continue enjoying a future full of good and numerous experiences together, such as our commitment to look after our planet.

Andamur offers free fruit corners at its service stations

Andamur ofrece corners de fruta gratuitos en sus estaciones de servicio dentro de su campaña #CuidamosLoQueImporta

Following the launching of the Corporate Social Responsibility plan #WeLookAfterWhatMatters, which aims at providing added value to and taking good care of drivers, we have started the month of February with specific actions to help lorry drivers follow a healthy diet. In addition to posting nutritional tips on our social media profiles, these actions also involve offering our customers fruit corners for free in all our service stations from today until the 1st of March.  

With this action, which is part of our Corporate Social Responsibility plan, we wish to challenge a problem that lorry drivers usually encounter: following a healthy diet while driving. If we add this to the number of hours that drivers spend sitting while working, the result is that there are many health problems that can affect their health. With this plan, we wish to fight against overweight, cholesterol or cardiovascular problems.

With #WeLookAfterWhatMatters we intend to take care of drivers enabling them to work out, get some rest, have a good time, follow a healthy diet and focus on driving ergonomics. This is the second special action of this campaign following the opening of the Andamur La Junquera gym, and in the months to come we will continue carrying out new actions with the same aim in mind. Stay alert!

Challenges for the transport sector in 2019

Retos para el sector del transporte en 2019

The transport sector is going through a good time. Although it represents 2.9% of the national GDP, 2018 finished with a promising growth figure: the world freight transport market grew 4.1%.

The new consumption models are demanding that we adapt to the new needs of international trade, to a larger stock rotation and an increase in transport services. And it looks like the sector is doing well. But the swiftness of the market forces us to remain vigilant.

These are some of the challenges that the sector faces in 2019. Among them, we find automation, connectivity, electrification and emission reduction:

  • The sector will intensify its efforts to reduce its environmental impact, generating further commitment and responsibility. In addition, efficient resource management will be essential.
  • Liquefied natural gas (LNG) vehicles will gradually become more important compared to those using traditional fuel, since they bring about many advantages to be taken into account.
  • Technology will burst into the sector. In an increasingly digitalised environment, the transport sector will evolve towards important changes both in roads and warehouses.
  • The customer will remain at the centre. Although this trend was observed some years ago, as time goes by, the customer has become more demanding, so the sector must be offering more and more.

In order for the transport sector to continue accounting for the good figures it represents now, fostering the opportunities offered by technology and their adaptation to the market is essential.

Andamur launches #WeLookAfterWhatMatters, a CSR plan safeguarding lorry drivers’ wellbeing

#CuidamosLoQueImporta es el un plan de RSC que vela por el bienestar del chófer de camión

At Andamur we want to provide added value to professional drivers, that is why we are launching a Corporate Social Responsibility plan: #WeLookAfterWhatMatters. This is the motto of our CSR plan and with it we wish to provide added value to and take good care of drivers, enabling them to work out, follow a healthy diet, focus on driving ergonomics, get some rest or have a good time. In addition, with this CSR programme we intend to give back to society what it contributes to us as a company, without forgetting Andamur’s four other main sustainability pillars: Environment, People, Civil Society and Transparency and Communication.

This CSR plan was initiated at the end of 2018 when we opened the Andamur La Junquera gym, the only one located in a service station in the whole country; with it we wanted to offer lorry drivers the opportunity of working out. 

Throughout 2019, #WeLookAfterWhatMatters will address different areas of lorry drivers’ health to help them improve them. 

We started offering them the possibility of following a healthy and balanced diet. We are aware of how difficult it is for professional drivers to find healthy food in their routes. In addition, the number of hours the spend sitting while driving leads to many of them suffering from cholesterol, overweight, cardiovascular or digestive system problems.

At Andamur, we are committed to reducing this problem and we have worked on different actions to provide access to healthy food in road routes, vitamin intake through fruit consumption, or to raise awareness on the importance of following a balanced diet by sharing tips and useful content on how to improve eating habits in routes in our social media channels.

All this will become a reality through specific actions in February and March. Pay attention to the details!

Thanks to the campaign #YourEffortMultipliesBy3, 1083 kg of food were donated to Cáritas

Recaudamos 1083 kilos de comida para cáritas con la campaña #TuEsfuerzoValeX3

Thanks to the campaign Your effort multiplies by 3, 1083 kg of food have been collected since last 29 November and were donated by Andamur to the Cáritas food bank. 

This very morning this non-profit association has visited our facilities in order to collect the food. This is the end of the campaign Your effort multiplies by 3 with which we committed ourselves to multiplying by 3 the effort made by our clients with two aims: to promote exercise among drivers and to carry out a social action.  Thus, for every client that entered the Andamur gym at La Junquera, we have donated 3 kg of food to the Cáritas food bank. To take part in the campaign, drivers only had to use their fuelling or security car park receipt to access the gym facilities free of charge. A scoreboard kept track of the number of people entering the gym to obtain the number of kg that Andamur was to donate at the end of the campaign.

This action is included within Andamur’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme #WeLookAfterWhatMatters with which we wish to provide added value to drivers, enabling them to work out, follow a healthy diet, stay calm while driving, get some rest or have a good time. Likewise, with this initiative, at Andamur we wish to collaborate with social and environmental actions as a way of giving back to society what it contributes to us as a company. At Andamur, we show this way our commitment to making drivers feel at home while they are at our service areas.

Andamur presents the first gym in a service area

Yesterday we officially opened up a gym in our Andamur Service Area of La Junquera, which has become the first station with this offer in the whole country.

These new facilities are a clear example of the commitment we have acquired to make drivers’ lives healthier. It is an important improvement in our service proposal aiming to make them feel at home.

A group of Andamur workers opened up the facilities of the new gym yesterday and the event was attended by the athlete Rubén Morán and Andamur CEO, Miguel Ángel López.

To quote the athlete and creator of Farinato Race, Rubén Morán, who has been linked to the transport world for many years: “I think what Andamur is doing for drivers is very positive, offering them the possibility of working out in a gym in its own Service Area is not only new and innovative, but also proves Andamur’s concern for lorry drivers”.

For his part, Miguel Ángel López, Andamur CEO, considers that opening up this new service is: “A first step within a set of actions we are carrying out to help drivers have a healthier life and be able to make the most of the time they spend in our service areas”.

By opening up these facilities, Andamur has started the campaign Your effort multiplies by 3. Until 21 December, at Andamur we commit ourselves to multiplying by 3 the effort of our customers with two aims: to foster exercising among drivers and to carry out a social action. Thus, for every person entering the gym at Andamur La Junquera, we donate 3 kg of food to a food bank. To take part in this campaign, drivers will only have to use their fuelling or security car park receipt to access the gym facilities free of charge. A scoreboard will keep track of the number of people entering the gym that will be multiplied by 3 to obtain the number of kg that Andamur will donate at the end of the campaign.

It is worth highlighting that this action is included within Andamur’s Corporate Social Responsibility programme #WeLookAfterWhatMatters with which we wish to value and take good care of drivers, enabling them to work out, follow a healthy diet, enjoy ergonomics when driving, rest or have a good time. This CSR programme also intends to be a way of giving back to society what it contributes to us as a company, and this way collaborate in social or environmental actions.

Andamur and Molgas present the first Network of Multi-Energy Service Stations

Estaciones de Servicio Multi- Energía.

Andamur has signed an agreement with the company Molgas to set up a new company with the aim to build and operate this network of refuelling stations of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG), in addition to fuel. The new company is going to have a pioneering role responding to the demands of fleets of trucks and light vehicles that may refuel any kind of fuel at the so-called Multi-Energy Service Stations.

This new service will be provided as of the beginning of 2019 in the Service Areas located in La Junquera (Gerona), Guarromán (Jaén), Pamplona (Navarra) and San Román (Vitoria). More than 500,000 trucks are refuelled at our stations every day, and those companies may now include natural gas in their fleets, thus anticipating market trends and being able to obtain an increased competitive advantage.

Miguel Ángel López, Andamur CEO, has expressed his satisfaction with this agreement: “At Andamur, We look after what really matters, and with this initiative not only do we help clients to anticipate market trends, we also provide sustainable alternatives for light and heavy vehicles, promoting the reduction of CO2 emissions”.

In addition, he wanted to highlight the importance of collaborating with the company Molgas, “to achieve this, we have set up a partnership with Molgas, leading company in the natural gas market. Their deep knowledge in this field together with our experience in managing Service Areas and Services to Drivers are a perfect combination to be successful”.

These new refuelling plants will be built at the beginning of 2019.

Andamur Guarromán and La Junquera renew their shower and toilet facilities

Fully aware of the importance of providing our users with the best services while they travel by road, we have carried out an integrated renovation process in the shower and toilet facilities at Andamur Guarromán and La Junquera service areas. These facilities are very much frequented, so with these alterations we want to optimise our clients’ experience as much as we can.

With this project we aim to provide road users with a much newer, larger and comfortable area which adapts to their needs as much as possible. In this renovation process we have increased the number of available showers and we have remodelled all facilities to offer a completely new shower and toilet area. In addition, at the Andamur Guarromán facilities, we have included a new exclusive zone for our female customers with an independent shower for women.

The construction of these new facilities shows our firm commitment to offering drivers all the services they may need throughout their route enabling them to take a break, eat, wash themselves, wash their clothes, have their security guaranteed, etc. This means an important improvement in our service proposal that we keep improving on a daily basis
