The vehicles, all under 8 metres, are intended for extra-urban and interurban routes and aim to reduce environmental impact while improving safety. The project covers all provinces of Campania, with particular attention to mobility in inland areas and small municipalities.

Designed and manufactured in Italy, these vehicles combine safety, sustainability and comfort. This project represents a major step towards zero-emission mobility, offering safer and more environmentally friendly transport for the region’s youth.”
