Enel X Way and Konad decided to cooperate in the framework of a project in the field of logistics. Actually, Rome and Palermo delivery to stores will be carried out via 100% electric vehicles. In particular, these vehicles will be used to deliver products from the distribution centers of the Conad Nord Ovest and PAC 2000A cooperatives to 16 outlets in Rome and Palermo.
These 100% electric delivery vehicles they will drive about 450-500 km every day and will contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions in the transport sector. In fact, this project is part of Conad’s commitment to more sustainable logistics.
The project will not stop only in Rome and Palermo. In fact, the use of electric vehicles for delivery will also be extended to the cities of Turin and Florence in the coming months. The collaboration also includes the installation of the Enel X Way fast charging infrastructure dedicated to these delivery vehicles.
This is not the first time the two companies have collaborated on electric vehicles. In fact, through a partnership with Enel X Way, Conad has installed 500 public charging points across the country. Therefore, large-scale distribution is increasingly switching to the use of electric vehicles for its logistics services. Andrea MantelliConad Supply Chain Director, commented:
At Conad, we have always stood for modern and efficient logistics based on corporate sustainability. The 100% Electricity project represents another step forward in our sustainability strategy to optimize energy costs and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. The basis for the implementation of the initiative was the support of cooperatives, which worked hard to make this possible. Through their commitment, Conad will be able to provide a more sustainable and environmentally friendly delivery service.
Richard CassettaEnel X Way Italia Private Client Sales Manager, added:
The goal of Enel X Way is to help partners make the transition to electric mobility easily and quickly by offering the best solutions available on the market. With Conad, we started a sustainability journey in 2017 that we continue today with ultra-fast charging infrastructures designed for medium to long haul logistics for the city of Rome and soon Turin and Florence. The first 150 kW have already been installed at the headquarters in Fiano Romano, enabling the charging of one of Conad’s all-electric vehicles, which, during the loading and unloading of goods, can be charged with energy to continue the zero-emissions section.
