In Pisa, the Metropark parking lot is increasingly at the service of citizens. The FS Group's parking area is being transformed into an "innovative and green" multimodal hub, allowing those traveling to or from the station, or for those living in the city, to safely charge their cars thanks to the strategic location of the parking areas managed by Metropark.
This morning, Mayor Michele Conti, Councilor for Urban Planning and Mobility Massimo Dringoli, Francesco Parlato, CEO of Metropark, and Federico Fea, CEO of Powy, and Ciro Papa, e-Mobility manager of Stellantis Italia, participated in the event, during which the first six Charging Stations were inaugurated, providing a total of 12 parking spaces in the Pisa parking lot. Federico Fea, CEO of Powy Ciro Papa, e-Mobility Manager of Stellantis Italia.
The installation was made by the company Powy with which Metropark in April 2022 signed a framework agreement with the aim of placing up to 600 charging points in the parking lots of the FS Group's Urban Pole Company by 2025.
The initiative aims to complement the service offering and enhance the station's role as an intermodal hub. It will then be possible to access charging services for electric vehicles, increasing the range of efficient and less polluting mobility for the benefit of citizens, travelers, commuters and visitors.
The 6 charging stations, accessible h24 7 days a week, will be able to respond to the different charging needs of customers: 5 in alternating current (AC of 22 kW for each outlet, capable of charging the car in a few hours) and 1 in direct current (DC initially of 75 kW, with the possibility of upgrading up to 150 kW) produced by Alpitronic, a leading Italian company in Europe. The stations, all powered by 100% renewable energy, are part of the public electric vehicle charging network that Powy is building in partnership with the Stellantis Group. As with the entire network, these points are available for charging all electric vehicles and will provide exclusive conditions for Stellantis vehicle owners.
To take advantage of the charging service, in addition to using the charging cards and apps of major operators, one can also make a digital payment without downloading apps or registering for a service, ensuring a quick and easy charging experience even for transient or occasional customers.
The intervention, consistent with current sustainable urban mobility policies, contributes to the transfer of traffic shares from the private car to collective transport and to the development of new forms of travel, including shared and electric travel.
"Metropark car parks play a fundamental role in the transition to a new, more sustainable and shared mobility model," comments Francesco Parlato, CEO of Metropark, "as well as strengthening the role of railway stations as multi-service hubs. The installation of Charging Stations is one of the cornerstones of the FS Italiane Group's shared mobility vision." Our spaces are all designed as hubs with cultural, social, and economic value, in line with international standards, with the aim of monitoring the legislative compliance of sites in terms of environmental impact and constantly improving the sustainability performance of assets. With a view to ecological transition, the application of the UNI EN ISO 14001 standard provides useful tools for creating a mindset focused on achieving objectives to facilitate the transition from a system of polluting energy sources to a virtuous model centered on green ones.
"We are very pleased to have started this first step in our collaboration with Metropark, starting right from Pisa Station, which plays a key role in fostering the transition to increasingly sustainable mobility, both for local users and for owners of electric vehicles in transit. We are only at the first phase of the project and we are already planning the next installations to reach a total of 600 charging points in different Metropark parking lots located in railway stations throughout Italy." - concludes Federico Fea, CEO of Powy.
"The inauguration of the charging station in Pisa, represents a new part of Stellantis' commitment to driving the energy transition, ensuring safe, sustainable and accessible mobility," stresses Ciro Papa, e-Mobility manager of Stellantis Italy.
"We welcome with great pleasure," says Pisamo administrator Andrea Bottone, "the intervention in the Metropark rest area at Pisa Station because it fully espouses the commitment carried out by Pisamo in recent years in the transition to an increasingly sustainable and green model of smart mobility, helping to propel our city into the future."
"As the Municipal Administration," says the mayor of Pisa Michele Conti, "we are happy that Metropark, a company of the Urban Pole of the Italian FS Group, together with Powy, a partner of the Stellantis Group, have chosen Pisa as the first city in Italy where to build a green parking lot available to citizens, visitors and users of the Station, to take advantage of charging services for electric vehicles. The new parking lot constitutes an innovative service for an area of great transit such as Pisa Station, with more than 18 million travelers, an area that our Administration right now is redeveloping with a major urban regeneration project, carried out in agreement with Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, to make it increasingly welcoming functional and sustainable."
