Making urban mobility smarter and more sustainable

Interview with Colin Olszak, Business Development Manager Car Parks at Astron Mobility

Colin, Astron Mobility is making waves in Europe’s urban infrastructure sector. What’s driving your approach?
Colin Olszak: At Astron Mobility, we’re focused on redefining how car parks are built. The goal is simple but ambitious: make car parks and mobility hubs faster to deliver, smarter in design, and genuinely sustainable. We use an industrial prefabrication approach that allows us to control quality and drastically reduce construction timelines often by weeks or even months compared to traditional builds.

Sustainability seems to be a key priority. How does that translate into the construction process?
Absolutely. Our entire building system is built around efficiency and environmental responsibility. All components, steel frames, roofing, façades are precision-manufactured in our own facilities, then delivered to site like a modular kit. That means less material waste, fewer heavy transports, and significantly lower carbon emissions both during construction and throughout the building’s life cycle.

Can you quantify the environmental impact compared to traditional methods?
Yes. Compared to standard concrete-based construction, our building system saves up to 25% in CO₂ emissions over the full lifespan of a project. That includes reductions in embodied carbon, thanks to our lean design principles, use of lighter yet optimized steel structures, and reusable formwork.

That sounds like a lot of engineering behind the scenes.
It is, but that’s the point. We never overbuild. Every beam, column, and panel is engineered to meet the structural needs precisely, nothing more, nothing less. For example, our steel beams are designed to deliver maximum strength with minimum mass, which reduces resource use without compromising safety or durability.

What’s the bigger vision behind this approach?
We’re not just building car parks, we’re building the foundation for smarter urban mobility. Our structures are designed to adapt to future needs: charging stations, micromobility integration, solar power, even green roofs. What we’re doing is creating infrastructure that makes cities more efficient, more liveable and ready for what comes next.
