The local government board of Torrevieja has approved the award of the contract for the implementation of the Low Emission Zone (ZBE) and complementary actions to the company Eysa for 1,189,213 euros.

The main objective of the project is to create a ZBE that allows for the progressive regulation of vehicle access to the urban center, aiming to reduce polluting emissions and promote a healthier, safer, and more sustainable environment. This action responds to the need to adapt the city to state and European regulations on climate change, as well as to the specific reality of Torrevieja, marked by high traffic density and strong tourist pressure.
The implementation of the ZBE will include a comprehensive technological deployment for the real-time control, management, and monitoring of traffic and environmental quality. License plate recognition (LPR) cameras will be installed for access control, along with sensors to measure key pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), suspended particles (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO₂), in addition to recording noise levels. A fixed air quality monitoring station and several multiparametric sensors will also be deployed.
All this information will be centralized on an integrated management platform, and an operational control center will be created. Complementarily, a mobile application will allow citizens to receive notifications and consult relevant data. Specific signage will be installed, and public information campaigns will be conducted.
The launch of the ZBE will be organized in two stages. The first phase will focus on the commercial urban core, with 13 access control points. The second phase will expand the ZBE with 26 additional points to cover the rest of the urban area.
The contract includes an execution phase of up to 15 weeks. Although the system could be ready by next autumn, the Councilor for Traffic, Federico Alarcón, avoided specifying the implementation dates, referring to 2027. The contract includes a three-year period of integral service under a SaaS (Software as a Service) model.
The awarded company, Eysa, works for over 235 cities and institutional clients such as the DGT and Aena. In 2024, it exceeded 200 million euros in revenue and is part of the French fund Tikehau Capital.
Torrevieja has been in breach of the legal obligation to deploy the ZBE since January 2023, like many other municipalities with over 50,000 inhabitants. The PP government team has expressed its limited enthusiasm for the measure, linking it to a legal obligation and the use of European funds.
