Piaggio Group and Enel to develop electric mobility
Both companies will conduct common research programmes developing integrated green mobility solutions
Piaggio Group and Enel, an Italian energy provider, the third-largest in Europe by market capitalization, signed an agreement for the development of mobility of zero or low environmental impact.
The purpose of this project is to analyze the specific needs of mobility and electrical charging of individual users and company fleets, while providing innovative products and services. It will also enable to test the interaction between Enel’s recharging infrastructure and Piaggio’s electric vehicles.
Piaggio will provide know-how, information and technical data on electric and hybrid engines, their performance, usage and recharging requirements, and will provide the results of surveys on the management of resources at zero and low impact on the environment. Piaggio’s MP3 scooter Hybrid, as well as other electric models in the Group’s line-up will be used for testing.
Enel will provide its innovative electric charging infrastructure. By sharing knowledge in the management of the fleet the specific needs of electric vehicles will be identified.
The collaboration also includes the selection of cities or situations of use, characterized by different styles and mobility needs for the implementation of joint pilot projects.
The two partners have already been operating some time in the field of "sustainable mobility". Both groups believe that the expansion of electric and hybrid vehicle market represents a strategic opportunity, which aims at reducing emissions and developing an environmentally friendly industrial model.
Roberto Colaninno, president and CEO of Piaggio Group, and Fulvio Conti, CEO and general manager of Enel agree that the development of technologies applied to sustainable urban mobility generating new products and new applications is crucial, as it responds to the need to provide customers with individual and professional infrastructure capable of integration with the innovative features of new vehicles.
