MUBIL is an organization dedicated to smart and sustainable mobility in the Basque Country, bringing together the efforts of public and private stakeholders to build a strong and collaborative ecosystem aimed at driving the economic and technological development of the region. To achieve this, MUBIL works closely with companies, institutions, technology centres, universities, training centers, and other key players in the mobility sector. It also undertakes initiatives and projects that support the industrial fabric and innovation, fostering the growth of businesses and startups, and promoting the development of talent and knowledge. MUBIL was created by the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa and with the support of the Basque Government and the Basque Energy Agency (Ente Vasco de la Energía - EVE), regional authorities committed to the advancement of sustainable mobility.
MUBIL Center (MUBIL headquarters) houses various stakeholders and projects linked to smart and sustainable mobility, including: a business center currently home to seven companies, the technical managers of the laboratories, a CityScope data lab developed in collaboration with MIT, and support facilities such as a multifunctional auditorium, meeting rooms, co-working space, and a showroom.
Most of the MUBIL Center's floor space is occupied by laboratories, which have high-capacity, state-of-the-art facilities for developing and testing solutions in the field of electric vehicle propulsion, a key area for sustainable mobility. The next-generation laboratories are focused on energy storage, power train, and fuel cell technologies and are managed by expert technical staff with the know-how and capability to deliver advanced services to user companies. Cidetec is the technology center in charge of the Energy Storage laboratory, while EPowerlabs is responsible for the Powertrain and Fuel Cell laboratories.
