This innovative experimentation of the municipality of Venice is part of the research line for zero-emission mobility, thanks to the use of means hybrids, with electric and eco-friendly diesel, and has the firm will to become a point of reference for the national territory, a best practice of how to use the public transport with efficiency and eco-sustainability.
The protocol between Eni, the Municipality of Venice and the Porto Marghera refinery could become the driving force of a network of cities linked by practices virtuous, having the opportunity to study and experiment with a sustainability model.
