‘Interport confirms its central role within Tuscan and national logistics. We want to play a leading role in a path of innovation that can improve business operations, lower emissions, and ensure increasingly efficient services for users. We address both the public and private sectors, getting to the heart of the measures outlined in the NRP‘, explains President Francesco Querci.
The partnership with municipalities
The initiative in the Interporto della Toscana Centrale will also be attended by the president of the region, Eugenio Giani, and the mayor of Prato, Matteo Biffoni.
Some of the submitted projects will be operational as early as December. The Freight Village will also use the initiative as a bridge to the last-mile revolution, on which in agreement with the municipalities involved there will be developments as early as after the summer.
Mission decarbonization and digitalization
‘Digitization, energy transition, and issues associated with the mobility of people and goods, including the last mile are now an inescapable unicum for those in the logistics industry.
The many partners already operating in our project will accompany us on our decarbonization and digitization mission, making the Freight Village an experimental hub of excellence at the national level,’ explains Roberto Maldacea.
