The Politecnico di Torino and Iveco Group have signed a collaboration agreement aimed at developing shared research programmes in the mobility sector. The collaboration is aimed at conducting studies and research in the field of commercial vehicle design, with a clear focus on sustainable innovation.

The studies will focus on the contribution of digitalisation, aided by Artificial Intelligence algorithms, in the design of new, innovative propulsion systems to support the transition towards a more sustainable future. The partners have established goals for the collaboration in areas related to energy management and reducing environmental impact, which are achievable in joint research like this through the adoption of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) criteria and eco-design methodologies. A fundamental tool in support of the European Green Deal and environmental sustainability, LCA is a multi-criteria evaluation methodology capable of covering a wide variety of impacts associated with human health, ecosystem health and resource availability.
