COFIDES Invests in EYSA's Sustainable Mobility Tech

Spain's sustainable mobility sector is set to accelerate its technological evolution with a significant €90 million indirect minority investment from COFIDES. This capital injection is channeled through the COFIDES Co-Investment Fund (FOCO), a strategic initiative designed to bolster Spanish enterprises undergoing digital, green, and technological transformations. The investment positions EYSA, a prominent player in sustainable mobility solutions, to enhance its operational capabilities, explore new business avenues, and strengthen its financial footing for ambitious growth plans.

This strategic co-investment aligns with Tikehau Capital's broader vision for EYSA. The global alternative asset manager, which secured a majority stake in EYSA in 2025, is leveraging its decarbonization private equity program, exceeding €2.5 billion. This program specifically targets companies driving the energy transition, digital infrastructure development, and industrial decarbonization. The partnership between COFIDES and Tikehau Capital underscores a shared commitment to advancing sustainable and digitized transport systems within Spain and potentially beyond.

The infusion of capital will empower EYSA to deploy advanced digital tools and expand its portfolio of efficient, low-emission mobility solutions across urban and interurban environments. This strategic enhancement is crucial in a market where smart city initiatives and the demand for eco-friendly transportation are rapidly expanding. The Spanish smart mobility market, for instance, is projected to grow substantially in the coming years, driven by regulatory support and increasing consumer awareness of environmental issues.

Ángela Pérez, President and CEO of COFIDES, highlighted the investment's significance, stating, "This represents a substantial boost for sustainable mobility in Spain. Our collaboration with Tikehau Capital showcases the strength of the Spanish industrial and technological ecosystem in projects integrating innovation, digitalization, and sustainability." She further emphasized FOCO's role in directing capital towards strategic sectors modernizing the national economy, with EYSA being a prime example in sustainable mobility and low-emission solutions.

David Martín, Co-Head of Tikehau Capital Iberia, echoed this sentiment, noting that COFIDES' participation validates EYSA's long-term industrial project and enhances its capacity for technological advancement in sustainable mobility. EYSA's CEO, Javier Delgado, added that the investment fortifies the company's strategic position during a period of profound mobility transformation. "This will enable us to accelerate innovation, expand into new solutions, and continue supporting our clients with advanced technologies and operational capabilities," Delgado remarked, underscoring the international potential of Spanish firms excelling in key transition sectors.

The FOCO fund, established with €2 billion from the NextGenerationEU instrument, aims to attract foreign investment into Spain, particularly supporting companies involved in ecological and digital transitions, as well as technological innovation. Investments from FOCO require a co-investor and can be made directly into companies or through investment funds, fostering a collaborative approach to economic modernization.
