RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
The commitment to reduce the impact on the environment of our products and processes is a fundamental tenet of our philosophy, a 360-degree vision that permeates our organisation, at every level, and at each and every stage of our vehicles’ lifecycle. Investing huge design and economic resources in research & development of technologies, designed to impact on the environment, has characterised our identity for many years. Investing huge design and economic resources in research & development of technologies designed to attenuate impact on the environment has characterised our identity for many years. In addition to devoting a large proportion of our research activities to solutions geared to emission reduction and the development of alternative engines, our efforts focus on advanced vehicle design, resulting in minimised impact on the environment during and at the end of vehicle life (optimised use of energy, salvaging an ever greater proportion of the materials and minimising residual waste). By capitalising on our creativity, innovation potential and experience in research & development, we use well thought-out measurement methods and tools to attenuate the environmental impact of a product during its entire lifecycle.
