Barcelona’s Municipal Tow Truck Service: Ensuring safe and efficient mobility in the city
The Barcelona municipal tow truck service, managed by the municipal company BSM, is responsible for ensuring safe, efficient and sustainable mobility in the city, with a direct impact on citizens.
Challenge
The activity of the municipal tow truck service needed to be communicated with clarity, proximity and public-service value, helping citizens understand its role in improving mobility, safety and the use of public space in Barcelona.
A key service for ensuring safe and correct mobility in the city, yet not always visible to the public. Building awareness required a fresh communication approach.
Solution
At IMAGINA, we developed a graphic identity based on a modular grid system that captures the structured, methodical nature of the service, while keeping the visual language approachable and accessible to citizens.
A consistent visual language built around a grid structure enables clarity across all communication materials, reinforcing recognition and professionalism.
Additional materials were designed — including vehicle stickers, signs and printed communications — that help make the service more visible and trusted in urban spaces.
