Driving Infrastructure
Innovation for a
Sustainable Future
AVL Italy
s the global energy landscape evolves, AVL is expand-
ing its expertise beyond traditional automotive do-
mains, entering the infrastructure business with a clear
mission: to enable smart, multi-vector energy systems.
Expanding Expertise Beyond Mobility
In Italy, this transformation is already visible. With energy vec-
tors such as electricity and hydrogen redefining energy man-
agement and consequently mobility, AVL Italy acts not only as
an integrator but as a technology provider. Contributions range
from automation software, safety systems, and certification to
project management and in-depth know-how in electrolyzers,
fuel cells, and storage systems.
Supporting Industry in Transition
Among the first initiatives is the collaboration with Gruppo
Intergea, a leading automotive distribution group. To support
their energy transition goals, Intergea adopted AVL ATENE™,
our IoT platform for energy monitoring and optimization. This
implementation enables smarter energy use and improves
operational efficiency.
Enabling Heavy-Duty Electrification
Another milestone is the A22 Firmian project, marking a major
step in the electrification of heavy-duty transport. AVL Italy
is developing peak shaving technology to be linked to a new
megawatt-scale charging station along the Brenner motor-
way, one of Europe’s strategic freight corridors. This project
showcases AVL’s ability to deliver high-impact infrastructure
technology with both innovation and strategic relevance.
From heavy-duty electrification on Europe’s busiest routes to pioneering hydrogen
hubs in Southern Italy, AVL Italy is redefining infrastructure. By combining
automation, safety, and engineering know-how, the team delivers solutions that set
new benchmarks for sustainable mobility.
Building Hydrogen Infrastructure
Hydrogen infrastructure is gaining momentum, and AVL Italy
is engaged in several pioneering projects. These include the
design and implementation of a 5 MW hydrogen production
plant and refueling stations for trains and buses commis-
sioned by Ente Autonomo Volturno (EAV) in Naples, as well
as two motorway initiatives for hydrogen refueling stations at
Paganella Est and Sadobre on the A22.
In these projects, AVL serves as both engineering expert and
technology partner, integrating the entire hydrogen value chain
– from production via electrolysis, compression, and storage
(solid and gaseous), to refueling through dispensers. Solu-
tions cover facility engineering, automation software, safety
systems, and certification frameworks, ensuring each station
meets the highest standards of performance and reliability.
“Our commitment to sustainable mobility goes
beyond vehicles – it’s about building intelligent,
interconnected ecosystems that will power the
future. Through these pioneering projects, AVL
Italy is laying the foundations for the innovative
infrastructure that will support the complex
demands of future transport.”
