The concept of eco-sustainable packaging addresses the idea of using less packaging material capable of guaranteeing the safety and protection of the product. Green packaging aims to reduce unnecessary packaging and package products responsibly and sustainably, promoting the idea of caring for the environment and society. Ecological packaging involves the use of biodegradable and recyclable materials, obtained through extraction and production methods with a low environmental impact, applying energy savings in all production processes. The life cycle of sustainable packaging can follow two paths: recycling and reuse, or the transformation into a new object useful for the consumer.
The world of electricity, in particular, is gaining ground in the goods handling sector, thanks to the increased attention to sustainability that is guiding companies to new choices. The initial investment in the purchase of an electric forklift is repaid in a typical 5-year contract, through savings on fuel costs alone. Our warehouses are equipped with a fully electric forklift and storage machinery. Let's see together why we made this choice.

Stable energy cost: The cost of electricity is stable over time and is less subject to increases that are often substantial and sudden.
Lighter maintenance: Few components are involved in the maintenance of electric trucks. This guarantees longer maintenance intervals and lower routine maintenance costs.
Safety: Electric forklifts are silent, both while driving and during lifting, thus allowing greater safety to be ensured within the work environment because communication between operators, drivers, and pedestrians is not disturbed by noise pollution.
Sustainability: Buying an electric truck also means respecting the environment, because the total amount of carbon emissions is close to zero. Not only that but choosing electric also means giving the company philosophy more value and greater competitiveness.
For climate change transportation is a very important issue because about 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions are generated by trucks dedicated to heavy goods. The ACEA (European, Automobile, Manufacturers Association) has decided that diesel truck sales will be stopped by 2040.
For sustainable transport, the electric truck is a perfect solution to have cleaner mobility, also because we want to achieve the goal of minimizing emissions for the transport sector. Our electric trucks are available with three electric motors forming a unit with 490 kW (666 hp) of power and torque of up to 28,000 Nm. For charging electric trucks an AC mode up to 43 kW, ideal for overnight charging, or much faster DC, up to 250 kW, is very useful in the event of consecutive driving shifts or for charging during the lunch break, to add further autonomy.
"We are currently working towards a significant shift from diesel-powered vehicles to trucks and vans using alternative energy sources, including electricity as a significant substitute. With a range of up to 240 kilometers and zero carbon emissions, electric vehicles are ideal for 'last-mile deliveries. Over the past few years, our company has renewed its vehicle fleet by purchasing sustainable vehicles. We intend to use only fully sustainable vehicles by 2030. We have started our sustainability journey by completely replacing our main vehicles with electric and sustainable vehicles. All this to reduce the environmental and noise pollution of our cities".

Freight transport in urban centers without polluting is becoming a growing necessity, sometimes even a mandatory route. This is the motivation that prompted us to order several electric vans for the last mile.
Our electric vans offer two different batteries, one of 47 kWh for a range of up to 235 km and a larger one of 79 kWh for a range of up to 370 km. It should be emphasized that the 100% electric version retains the load capacity of 10 to 17 cubic meters intact with a capacity of up to 1,950 kg.
For delivery of small packages in a small range, we use electric scooters. Excellent tool to move in the streets of urban centers without producing noise and environmental pollution.
Moreover, nowadays with more and more restricted traffic areas, the choice of an electric and agile vehicle becomes inevitable. The Lithium technology together with the 220V mains power supply will overcome you over 100 km of travel every day. The reinforced frame allows it to carry up to 300kg

Van journeys have increased by 25% in the last decade, also thanks to the boom in online shopping and urban congestion has increased. E-Bikes, on the other hand, could be the solution. Not only do they take up less space on our roads, but they also don't emit greenhouse gases.
Those who choose to use electric bicycles for their deliveries will also save money. In addition to not having to pay certain costs (including petrol, insurance and license fees), eBike cyclists do not have to pay the "congestion fees" that are imposed in various cities in Europe. It's also worth noting that e-bikes can be much cheaper to buy than vans and other modes of transportation, and are often quicker to repair.
