Leasys and Metropark, Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group, together for a sustainable mobility

• Leasys continues to revolutionize electric #mobility and is on track to reach 1,200 #ev charging stations by the end of 2020 in the over 400 #leasys #mobility Stores located throughout Italy in the main cities, airports, ports and train stations.
• Installed 14 22-KW charging stations for #leasys customers in the #metropark parking garage at Torino Porta Susa train station, with support from Enel X, the first step in a broad collaboration agreement between the FCA Group, coordinated by the e-Mobility department, and the FS Group.
• Further increase of modal interchange possibilities at the train station.

Turin, 8 September 2020

With the installation of 14 additional #ev charging stations, FCA Bank and its Leasys subsidiary continue to revolutionize sustainable mobility in Italy. This installation in the #leasys #mobility Store in the train station of Torino Porta Susa follows in the wake of the electrification of the #leasys #mobility Store in Torino Caselle airport, and is a further step in the broader cooperation arrangement with Metropark, a company of the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane Group.

Leasys’s customers will now have available 14 reserved stalls, equipped with Leasys’s charging columns, to park their electric vehicle inside the train station, every day during opening hours, from 5 a.m. to midnight, gaining access through license plate recognition technology.

This is just the first of a collaboration project where #leasys and #metropark, a company specialized in the development and management of parking and #mobility services in rail station areas, will electrify the other Italian train stations to enhance their role as intermodal hubs, in keeping with the goals of the FS Group to improve accessibility to the railway network and to foster new forms of movement, including shared and electric #mobility.

The #partnership sees the active involvement of FCA’s e-Mobilty team, which is working on different fronts with the FS group and cooperates on a daily basis with #leasys in providing innovative solutions to customers of the FCA Group. 

FCA Bank and #leasys, in keeping with their nature as #mobility pioneers, will contribute to disseminate the culture of electric and hybrid mobility, together with #metropark, expanding their service offering for customers, simplifying access to rail transportation services through environmentally sustainable solutions. 

Thus, #metropark and the FS Group continue to make a contribution toward the achievement of a new sustainable paradigm for urban #mobility, where train stations play a key role as service hubs and interchange nodes for citizens, commuters and tourists.

By the end of 2020, the number of #leasys #mobility Stores will increase to over 400, all electrified, for a total of 1,200 new charging stations, installed with support from Enel X, Leasys’s partner in this project. The main city centres, airports and, in particular, train stations and #metropark parking facilities in Italy will be equipped with charging points for Leasys’s customers, including Turin, with over 100, to be followed by Milan, Bologna, Rome, Naples and Palermo, among others.   

The electrification of the #leasys #mobility Stores is the first step toward an increasingly sustainable #mobility. In fact, Leasys’s fleet is expected to be electrified in the next few months, thanks to the new range of FCA products, including the electric Nuova Fiat 500 and the Jeep Renegade and Compass 4xe plug-in hybrid models. The goal is to have electric or hybrid vehicles account for 60% of the fleet by 2021, thus obtaining a significant reduction of CO₂ emissions.
