Contesto
The Autobrennero Group, through its representative Martin Ausserdorfer, has confirmed its participation for the third consecutive year in the LetExpo in Verona, an event dedicated to transport and logistics. Ausserdorfer emphasized the Group's commitment to building a sustainable and future-oriented mobility model, in line with the eco-friendly mobility strategies that are gaining ground in Europe, with particular attention to the transport corridors that connect Italy and Central Europe. The event, held in Verona, represents an important opportunity for logistics and transport operators to discuss best practices and innovations in the field of sustainable mobility. The presence of A22, the concessionaire company of the Brenner highway, highlights the importance of cooperation between public and private entities to achieve environmental sustainability goals. Martin Ausserdorfer, as A22 councilor and CEO of the railway companies Rail Traction Company and InRail, highlighted how the Autobrennero Group is working to develop transport solutions that reduce environmental impact, promoting the use of alternative energies and intermodality. For example, the Group has invested over 100 million Swiss francs in the electrification of the Gotthard railway line, one of the most important transport axes between Italy and Central Europe, with a significant impact on reducing CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the Autobrennero Group is working to increase the use of renewable energies in its operations. To this end, it has signed a contract with a renewable energy supplier to cover 50% of its energy needs with hydroelectric power produced in Ticino, in the region of Lugano and Bellinzona. This initiative is part of the European regulations on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which aim t...

Intermodality is a fundamental aspect of the Autobrennero Group's sustainable mobility strategy. Ausserdorfer explained that the goal is to create a transport system that efficiently combines different modes of transport, such as road, rail, and navigation, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. For example, the project aims to increase the modal share of rail for freight transport from 30% to 50% by 2030, thus reducing CO2 emissions by over 1 million tons per year. The Autobrennero project also focuses on the development of sustainable transport corridors, such as the Autobrennero A22, which connects Italy to Central Europe. This highway represents a crucial transport axis for freight and passenger traffic between Italy, Switzerland, and the rest of Europe. In particular, A22 is a fundamental link for Ticino businesses, such as those in the Stabio industrial area, which can thus easily reach European markets. To support its sustainability strategy, A22 has undertaken various initiatives, including the introduction of low-emission vehicles and the adoption of advanced technologies for traffic management. For example, the company has introduced a fleet of 50 electric vehicles for emergency management and has implemented an intelligent traffic management system that has reduced travel times by 15%. These actions are part of a broader plan to reduce the environmental impact of road transport and promote more sustainable mobility. > Some of the initiatives undertaken by A22 include: - Implementation of an energy management system to reduce energy consumption by 20% - Introduction of electric vehicle charging stations along the highway - Adoption of advanced technologies for traffic management and congestion reduction 📊 According to data fr...
Punti chiave
For cross-border commuters and users in the Ticino region, A22's recent initiatives for sustainable logistics are particularly relevant, as they can directly influence their daily lives and mobility choices. The promotion of intermodality and the use of alternative energies can lead to reduced travel times and greater efficiency in the transport of goods and people. For example, the use of hybrid or electric trains on the Brenner route can reduce CO2 emissions by over 70% compared to road transport. Furthermore, the sustainable mobility strategies adopted by A22 can have a positive impact on the environment and quality of life in the regions crossed by the Autobrennero. Residents and users in Ticino, particularly those living in municipalities such as Chiasso, Mendrisio, and Lugano, can benefit from cleaner air and a more efficient transport system. According to a recent study, the implementation of these strategies could reduce pollutant emissions by 40% by 2030, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement. A22 has already begun implementing various measures to reduce environmental impact, including the installation of renewable energy production facilities along the highway. For example, in 2022, A22 inaugurated a photovoltaic plant on the roof of the A22 highway near Trento, which produces over 1.2 million kWh of electricity per year.
