Our Mission and Vision
Our mission at automar.pt is simple yet ambitious: to revolutionize the car marketplace in Portugal by offering a platform that’s accessible, affordable, and sustainable. We aim to make car sales more cost-effective for everyone, from private sellers who can list vehicles for free to dealerships that benefit from budget-friendly advertisement options.

These innovations not only enhance platform performance but also reduce operational costs, allowing us to lower advertisement fees significantly. The result? A car sales platform that’s accessible and beneficial to all users, without compromising on quality.

At automar.pt, sustainability isn’t just an afterthought; it’s a guiding principle in our platform’s design, hosting, and functionality. Our commitment to minimizing environmental impact is rooted in each layer of our website, from the servers powering it to the experience users have when they browse.
Eco-Friendly Hosting
We’re proud to host automar.pt on AWS, a global leader in sustainable infrastructure. AWS is dedicated to Amazon’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon by 2040 and is a founding partner of The Climate Pledge. Through initiatives like the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI) and commitments to renewable energy, AWS enables us to operate with minimized environmental impact, aligning with our vision of a sustainable future.
Efficient Data Transfer and Minimal Resource Use
To reduce our energy footprint further, automar.pt optimizes every interaction for efficiency.

By placing content on edge servers, we ensure that data is closer to our users, minimizing latency and enhancing both speed and sustainability.
Sustainable Design and User Experience
Our design is purposefully minimalistic, focusing on performance without excess. This efficient design translates into faster page loading times, conserving resources and offering users a seamless experience. Additionally, our color scheme—primarily blue and dark tones—may even reduce power consumption on some screens, aligning with our sustainability goals at the user level.
Efficient Programming and Backend Operations
Built entirely using AWS’s serverless technology, automar.pt leverages modern, efficient programming languages and architecture that conserves energy while keeping our operational costs low. This approach not only supports our sustainability goals but also allows us to offer competitively priced and even free listing options for users.
