In Sienna si Florenta, in miezul centrului istoric, accesul auto este restrictionat pentru non-riverani.
Ca transport in comun, am vazut niste minibuze electrice foarte simpatice.

Brescia, un oras de aproape 200k locuitori (zona metropolitana de cca 450k locuitori) si-a tras un mini-metrou automat (garnituri de 39m si 2.65m latime), identice cu cele din Copenhaga si asemanatoare (doar ca mai lungi) cu cele din campusul Unievrsitatii  Princess Nora Bint Abdul Rahman din Rhyad, Arabia Saudita viewtopic.php?p=108374#p108374

Capacitatea maxima a liniei e de 17000 calatori/ora si sens la un interval de 90 secunde

Genova cere 650 de milioane de euro pentru dezvoltarea a 4 noi linii electrice rapide

Cererea de finanțare a fost înaintată Ministerului Transporturilor și a Infrastructurii. Încă nu e decis dacă aceste linii vor fi de tramvai sau de troleibuz, sau de ambele tipuri. În orice caz, vehiculele vor fi electrice și vor avea calea de rulare separată de trafic pe majoritatea distanței, relatează SustainableBUS, citând AUTOBUSWeb.

Solaris is the undisputed leader in the sale of electric buses in Italy. In recent days, the manufacturer has achieved another success in this segment, winning a tender for the delivery of as many as 30 e-buses to an AMT customer in Genoa. The coastal city wants to replace its fleet with electric buses only by 2025. The value of the new contract exceeds EUR 15 million.

The fleet of AMT (Azienda Mobilità e Trasporti SpA) in Genoa will soon be joined by 30 Solaris electric buses. The investment in innovative rolling stock is part of the Italian carrier's extensive plan to fully electrify the city's bus fleet. According to the agreement, the innovative vehicles will be delivered to the capital of Liguria in the first quarter of 2022. The value of the order is over EUR 15 million.

Solaris buses have been known to the inhabitants of Genoa since 2013. For the first time, however, the manufacturer will deliver electric vehicles to a coastal Italian city. The carrier decided on the flagship Urbino 12 electric, which was hailed the Bus of the Year 2017.

‘I am delighted that Genoa has decided to transform public transport with Solaris. I believe that 30 exceptionally innovative buses will bring the city closer to achieving its ambitious goals to electrify the bus fleet by 2025. It is worth emphasizing that our products received the maximum number of points in the tender technical evaluation, which is one of the reasons why Solaris' offer turned out to be the winner - despite strong competition’, said Alberto Fiore, Managing Director of Solaris Italia.

Extremely quiet operation of the drive, no emissions at the place of use, smooth and comfortable driving that guarantees a high travel experience for both passengers and the driver – these are the features for which more and more European carriers are choosing electric buses. The vehicles ordered by AMT in Genoa will be distinguished by innovative equipment and the highest level of safety. The carrier decided to use Solaris High Energy batteries with a capacity of over 250 kWh, in which the energy will be charged via a plug-in connector. Each of the Urbino 12 electric in Genoa will have two plug-in connectors – on the right and left above the front wheel arch. The drive unit, which will be a 220 kW central engine, will ensure a harmonious and reliable ride.

The comfortable interior of the Urbino 12 electric can accommodate 24 seated passengers. Climatic comfort will be ensured by efficient and ecological air conditioning with a CO2 heat pump. The complete driver's cabin will additionally facilitate the driver's work, and the safety of driving will be increased by MirrorEye cameras instead of side mirrors, which increase the field of view, but also improve visibility in strong sunlight, in rainy weather and after dark. Moreover, thanks to this solution, the vehicle is narrower, which increases its aerodynamics and allows easier maneuvering in the narrow and narrow streets, which are common in Genoa.

To increase safety during the coronavirus pandemic, the carrier has opted for an internal air purification system that will help stop the spread of the virus. In addition, the interior of the bus will be covered with a nanotechnology-based transparent protective coating with microscopic ceramic particles.

This order confirms the strong position of Solaris in the field of electromobility, not only in Italy. Today, more than half of the electric buses that run on Italian streets are Solaris vehicles, and in 2020 the manufacturer had almost 70 percent of the electric bus market share.

The public transport company of Genoa, AMT (Azienda Mobilità e Trasporti) awarded Hitachi Rail a EUR 70 million contract for the supply of 14 new generation metro trains equipped with the onboard systems necessary for the correct operation on the Genoa network.

The fleet will be manufactured entirely at Hitachi Rail’s plants in Italy, using a national supply chain, and the first trains will be delivered in early 2024.

The 4-car bidirectional metro trains will be 39-metre long and will have an overall capacity of 290 passengers. They will normally run in consist of two for a total length of 78 metres and a capacity of 580 passengers.

To allow a greater operative flexibility the new trains will be able to run also coupled with third generation vehicles currently in service on the city’s infrastructure.

The design of the interior fittings and onboard systems was conceived to limit as much as possible the encumbrance of the technical systems into the passenger compartments to have a continuous visibility through the adjoining cars.

The seats create a symmetrical and well balanced layout for weight balance. The new metro trains will feature an innovative interior and exterior design, a state-of-the-art technology and the use of materials fully compliant with safety, resistance and recyclability requirements. For the operation on the Genoa network the trains will integrate ATP and ATO system, related to speed control and assisted automatic drive.

Each car will be equipped with onboard telecommunication system and thanks to Ethernet it can guarantee the connectivity of all communication devices, such as sound and display for information to the passengers, emergency intercom and control devices reserved for the driver. The new trains will be also fitted with an innovative air conditioning system that will greatly increase the comfort of passengers in every condition and season.

These vehicles sum up to the fleet of 25 metro trains that AMT operates, 7 of which with similar characteristics and already delivered in 2016 by Hitachi Rail to Genoa Municipality.

“The improvements to the metro network are a strategic pillar of the commitment of the Municipality and AMT for the decarbonisation of the transport network in Genoa,” Matteo Campora, the Councilor to the Integrated Mobility and Transports of Genoa Municipality said.

The new generation metro trains will support the expansion of the metro network of Genoa, to connect an increasing number of people with sustainable mobility solutions. Currently, Genoa Metro is constructing the extensions Canepari west and Martinez east extensions.

În scurta vizită la Modena am putut să observ în principal autobuze și troleibuze de 12, respectiv 18 m. Rețeaua de troleibuze pare complet refăcută. Toate mijloacele de transport în comun sunt vopsite în bine cunoscutul galben de Modena. În principal autobuze am observat Irisbus, iar troleibuze vechi precum și ultimul model de la Solaris care nu am apucat să îl pozez
