The renewal of the vehicle fleet and the construction of interchange parking lots is part of a larger project that intends to revolutionize the transport system in the city in a green key.
La Spezia – La Spezia designs a green revolution in transport. Over the next few years the city will progressively limit the entry of fossil fuel vehicles into the center to instead favor zero-emission travel. At the heart of the project, outlined today on the first day of the La Spezia Green conference, the purchase of 19 new electric trolleybuses made possible by the award of a EUR 38.4 million tender from the MIT.
“We will need the lines between the Ponente and the Levante of the city, crossing the historic center, and the sea-mountain axis between the cruise station and the railway station, particularly frequented by tourists – he explained. Francesco Masinelli, CEO of Atc Exercise -. They will use full electric technology, therefore able to have a good autonomy even in the few stretches not covered by the trolleybus “.
“It will be a real light rail, with a sustained frequency “, declared Mayor Pierluigi Peracchini. The new electric trolleybuses will also serve the interchange parking lots in Piazza d’Armi and Piazza Pozzoli, which will be doubled to entice motorists to leave their cars outside the historic center. in particular, the sports hall park will have 444 stalls in the course of 2022 thanks to an investment of 2.5 million.
“With this system La Spezia is a candidate to become a very interesting case study: one of the first truly electric cities in Italy, “said Riccardo Genova, professor of ‘Electric and hybrid vehicles’ in Electrical Engineering at the University of Genoa.
But in order to discourage the use of the car, in the next few years La Spezia also plans to quadruple the cycle paths. “They will reach 34 kilometers in length – explained the commissioner Kristopher Casati – from the current eight and will reach the area of industries and construction sites. We are also moving towards a ban on the circulation of euro 4 vehicles in the center and at the same time we will invest to have 33 charging stations for electric cars in the city area “.
