Q-Park have been at the forefront of the European Parking industry in the creation of Sustainable Urban Mobility Hubs. The aim is to develop parking facilities into vital instruments to help realise urban accessibility, sustainability and liveability. In addition to car parking, Q-Park are also aiming to provide access for shared mobility schemes, rapid electric vehicle charging, last mile delivery and retail space all within their safe and secure parking facilities.
There are many theories and designs for utilising parking facilities as Mobility Hubs. The Q-Park Park Lane Mobility Hub is one of the few real life working examples. Not only does the Mobility Hub provide parking for visitors, commuters and residents it also has a number of other mixed uses that can provide numerous benefits to the local community and environment. These include fast charging facilities for bp pulse fleet customers, electric taxi charging for Uber and TFL, electric car sharing operated by UFODrive, a DPD Last Mile Delivery Centre and even retail space for Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
Adam Bidder, Managing Director of Q-Park UK commented ‘Naturally we are ecstatic to once again be nominated for a European Parking Award for our Mobility Hub at Q-Park Park Lane. It is testament to the excellence of our Sustainable Urban Mobility Policy that we are leading the way in our sector for the creation of Mobility Hubs. The hard work doesn’t stop just at the Park Lane car park, we aim to convert the majority of our Estate so that we keep up with what is the future of parking.’
