Engineering, a leader in digitalization processes for businesses and public administrations, is making a significant move towards sustainable mobility in line with its growing focus on ESG topics within its corporate strategy. The company has chosen 50 bZ4X vehicles for its corporate fleet. This model is the first in Toyota's new line of all-electric battery vehicles, offering innovation, quality, and full electric technology.

Accelerating the electrification of the Pool Fleet is one of the goals that the Group led by Maximo Ibarra has set in its Sustainability Plan announced in April, which defines measurable targets for all 21 countries where the Group operates with 80 locations and approximately 15,000 employees. Among these targets is a decarbonization plan aimed at significantly reducing the company's environmental impact, including sustainable mobility initiatives. By 2026, the plan aims for 100% of service vehicles to be electric, with the car list consisting entirely of electric or hybrid vehicles with emissions below 60g CO₂.

For over 27 years, Toyota has been developing and improving electrified mobility solutions, continuously enhancing performance and efficiency to meet customer needs and minimize environmental impact. Innovation, environmental respect, and planet protection are at the core of Toyota's approach to mobility, and this vision has established it as a leader in electrification with over 27 million electrified vehicles sold globally.

“The Group has set challenging decarbonization targets for the coming years. Introducing fully electric vehicles through Toyota and KINTO will allow us to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions from our corporate fleet,” stated Federico Antonio Di Paola, Fleet & Mobility Manager of Engineering. “Moreover, by selecting cutting-edge vehicles both in terms of safety and technology, which employees can also use through a new car-sharing system, we aim to guide our people towards electric and sustainable mobility, sharing it even outside the company.”

Engineering has chosen Toyota as its partner for the provision of 50 bZ4X Full Electric vehicles through KINTO Italia, a Benefit Company and third brand of the Toyota Group that offers innovative, digital, and sustainable mobility services covering the needs of private individuals, professionals, companies, communities, and institutions, from long-term leasing to short-term flexible rental, from car sharing to car pooling, and including multimodal integrated mobility apps. KINTO embodies Toyota's commitment to transforming into a "Mobility Company." This journey is designed to ensure maximum movement freedom for all, removing barriers and limitations while respecting the environment, thanks to a combination of innovative digital services and vehicles with extremely low emissions and high energy efficiency, serving over 65,000 users and 4,000 companies in Italy.

Dario Pergolotti Antiochia, General Manager Fleet & Used of Toyota, commented: "We are extremely proud to support Engineering in this journey towards more sustainable mobility. This agreement not only demonstrates a strong alignment of values between our companies but also represents a significant step in promoting innovation and sustainability in the mobility sector. Collaborating with companies like Engineering allows us to advance our mission of supporting the energy transition with effective, sustainable, and inclusive solutions."

The bZ4X, Toyota's first battery electric vehicle (BEV) developed on the dedicated eTNGA platform, represents a key step in Toyota's multi-technology approach. This strategy integrates all electrified technologies, from Full Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid for transition, to zero-emission solutions: Full Electric and Hydrogen Fuel Cell, as well as advanced research on internal combustion engines powered by “carbon neutral” fuels and hydrogen. All this is aimed at providing customers and companies with a wide range of solutions to minimize CO₂ emissions as much and as soon as possible while ensuring each user gets the solution that best fits their needs.
