1st Interregional Electrical and Sustainable Mobility Meeting

Magliano Sabina hosted the first inter-regional Mobility and Sustainable Mobility Rally

From March 23 to March 26, 2017 – Magliano Sabina/Rome

The meeting took place in Magliano Sabina, a “green” town that demonstrated over time his awareness of ecologic and environmental issues, thanks also to the choices made by the mayor Alfredo Graziani and the local administration, through the widespread:

• installation of solar panels
• the inauguration of two electric cars charging stations
• an electric bicycles charging point
• the first electric vehicle in Italy serving as a local police mobile-office
• the restoration of the building now hosting  Magliano Sabina ecoHostel, an eco-sustainable structure providing hospitality and free stay to guests driving electric cars along many other services.

During the day, besides the display of private electric vehicles in the town main square, a conference on the theme of sustainable mobility was held, covering relevant subjects such as:

• the creation of electric corridors (networks of electric charging-points)
• vehicles energy efficiency
• retrofit legislation
• substantial differences between battery and hydrogen charged vehicles
• the new national regulations on building construction
• the recent changes to traffic laws

The silent convoy of the electric cars

After spending the night at the Magliano Sabina ecoHostel, on Sunday morning the easygoing and festive caravan made its way toward Rome on the Flaminia road, taking advantage of the traffic restrictions enforced for environmental purposes by the capital city administration on that same day.
