President Llorenç Galmés unveiled a commemorative plaque and recalled that the objective of reducing waiting lists is being met, with appointments in January and February, and that by 2025, the number of inspections will rise from 480,000 per year to 650,000.

The president of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, today inaugurated the Calvià technical vehicle inspection (ITV) station, located in the Son Bugadelles industrial estate. A facility that will allow 9,000 monthly inspections to be carried out – 4,500 more than the mobile station located in Calvià – and which is already contributing to reducing the waiting lists throughout the island.

The Consell de Mallorca inaugurates the new ITV station in Calvià, which will allow 9,000 monthly inspections to be carried out

During the inauguration, president Llorenç Galmés unveiled a commemorative plaque accompanied by the parish priest of Calvià, José Antonio Amengual; the councillor of Territory, Mobility and Infrastructures, Fernando Rubio, and island councillors, councillors and councillors of the municipalities of the region.

The works at the Calvià station have cost 1.9 million euros. It will have four inspection lines for passenger cars, two for heavy vehicles, plus one line for motorbikes. It has been built on a municipal plot of land, ceded by the Calvià Town Hall, using an administrative concession, to the Consell for the exploitation of the ITV. The insular institution will pay an annual fee of 100,000 euros to the Town Hall during the first ten years. The duration of the administrative concession is thirty-five years, extendable to fifty.

President Galmés explained that the entry ‘into operation of the Calvià station is an important milestone in our goal of reducing waiting lists and, with the new ITV contract for the next two years, we will double the number of inspections in the first months of 2025 and we will go from 480,000 inspections carried out in 2024 to 650,000 this year’. Galmés remarked that these improvements are already being noticed, and proof of this is that there are already appointments available at Mallorca’s stations to pass the ITV in January and throughout February.

The Consell de Mallorca has set up a new portal for users to request an appointment: ITV.Mallorca.es. On this website, users can request an appointment and also make payment, so that they can go directly to the inspection line without having to go to the offices beforehand.

The island institution awarded the contract for the new ITV service last July. After resolving a series of appeals in which the courts ruled in favour of the Consell, the definitive award was made in November for a sum of 33 million euros over the next two years. The new contract with ITV Vega Baja foresees the opening of the new station in the Son Bugadelles industrial estate in Calvià and a 35% increase in annual inspections throughout Mallorca. All of this will be possible thanks to the increase in the workforce with 55 workers, 30 of whom will work at the new station in Calvià and the rest will be distributed among the stations in Palma, Inca and Manacor.
