Abstract
El lobby es una de las actividades de relaciones públicas más controvertidas. Tradicionalmente, los grupos de interés del sector de la movilidad y el transporte han participado en la elaboración de políticas por su papel en cuestiones medioambientales. Esta investigación pretende averiguar la influencia de este sector a lo largo del primer semestre de 2022, en comparación con otras industrias de España. También profundiza en la capacidad comparativa de influencia entre subsectores: fabricantes y concesionarios; componentes y agentes de reparación; transporte de personas, y transporte de mercancías. Cada organización recibe una puntuación en función de su número de puestos en comités, número de integrantes, cifra de personal, antigüedad, transparencia y relevancia económica. En conjunto, las asociaciones de movilidad y transporte se sitúan por detrás de las industrias de transición digital y agroalimentaria en el ranking de influencia. Las puntuaciones de las organizaciones mejor posicionadas se basan principalmente en su número de puestos en comités públicos y de miembros; las compañías fabricantes y concesionarios de vehículos de motor encabezan la clasificación de movilidad.
Lobbying is among the most controversial activities within public relations. Traditionally, interest groups in the mobility and transport sectors have been actively engaged in policymaking due to their significant impact on environmental issues. This research aims to assess the influence of this sector throughout the first half of 2022, comparing its lobbying power to that of other Spanish industries. Furthermore, it examines the relative influence capacity across subsectors, including manufacturers and dealers, component suppliers and repair agents, passenger transport, and freight transport. Each organization’s influence is quantified based on various criteria, including its representation on committees, membership size, employee count, longevity, transparency, and economic significance. Collectively, mobility and transport associations rank below the digital transition and agri-food industries in terms of influence. Highranking organizations within the mobility sector owe their scores primarily to strong representation in public committees and large membership bases; notably, motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers hold the leading positions within the mobility sector rankings.
