Carabinieri police in
Trentino Alto Adige on Thursday took delivery of a
hydrogen-powered car from the Brenner motorway operator.
The vehicle is a Hyundai Ix35 Fuel Cell with a maximum range
of 600 km.
"It is the first time in Italy that a police force has
received a hydrogen vehicle," said General Massimo Mennitti,
commander of the Legione Carabinieri Trentino Alto Adige.
"This is one of the first trials in the world, and we are
truly proud that the Carabinieri police force is the first to
reach this new frontier of security combined with
sustainability," he continued.
"The Brenner motorway has always worked closely with the
forces of law and order in order to guarantee maximum security,"
CEO Walter Pardatscher said.
The Brenner motorway runs through the Dolomite region from
the northern city of Modena to the Brenner pass on Italy's
northern border with Austria.
