Enel and Poste Italiane are launching their joint collaboration program to develop electric mobility and to achieve a “zero emissions” level of atmospheric pollutants. The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding to test innovative services, combined with designing offers aimed at the public to encourage alternative forms of mobility.
The municipality of Pisa – a pilot city, along with Rome and Milan, in the e-mobility Italy project launched by Enel and smart, as well as the location of Enel’s research center – is hosting an initial trial on the use of electric vehicles in performing mail delivery services in the historic city center.
Poste Italiane will employ nine electric vehicles - three Porter Piaggio Electric-Power and six Free Duck Ducati Energia – that will be recharged at the smart recharging stations that Enel will install at the Primary Distribution Center (PDC) located in Pisa Ospedaletto, where the vehicles will be kept.
In addition, a recharging station for Pisa residents will be located at Pisa’s central post office.
The possibility of recharging the vehicles using RECS (Renewable Energy Certificate System)-certified power is currently under study. RECS is the most well-respected certification system in Europe for energy generation from renewables. The certificate is supported by producers, distributors and certification firms of 16 countries, including Italy.
Pisa and Enel have made zero emissions-mobility one of the cornerstones of their plans to improve air quality. The first 56 of Enel’s public recharging points for electric vehicles are being installed at locations selected in accordance with the municipality. Soon, Enel will install the first of its “home stations”, or domestic recharging facilities, in the garages of Pisa residents who are participating in the e-mobility Italy pilot program.
Enel and Poste Italiane will also set up a study group to evaluate and possibly develop more e-mobility initiatives, collaborating and entering into agreements with public and private entities such as businesses, agencies, trade associations, universities and research centers.
