The Sino-Italian Green Week is dedicated to the cooperation between Italy and China for the protection of the environment and sustainable development.
It focuses on the presentation of a number of projects announced by the Italian Ministry for Environment and Territory in collaboration with the Chinese Ministry for Environmental Protection (SEPA). Other partners involved include the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), the Ministry of Sciences and Technology (MOST), the Municipalities of Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Xi’an and Suzhou, as well as the Tsinghua University of Beijing and the Tongji University of Shanghai.
Since the programme started in 2000, 57 projects have been developed for environmental protection, including transport and urban emissions.
One of the projects has seen the Fiat Group involved in the development and supply of natural gas engines for public transport urban buses operating in the Chinese capital.
“Iveco is committed to the development of industrial and commercial activities in China with the objective of offering the local market a complete range of products, which are competitive in terms of quality and price,” said Mr Monferino.
“Our long-standing presence in China dates back to the 1980s and has seen us work with excellent partners including the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation group (SAIC) and the Nanjing Automobile Corporation (NAC). Indeed, with our current partner Naveco, we are committed to developing an even stronger presence in one of the most rapidly developing markets in the world,” he added.
