‘Braking’ carbon dependency in Italy

As Europe accelerates its green transition, Wabtec Corporation is leading by example at its Piossasco plant near Turin, Italy. The facility, which specialises in braking systems and air-handling components, has significantly reduced its carbon footprint. In 2024, solar energy met 64% of its energy needs, up from 29% in 2023. The site also enhances biodiversity by planting 500 trees, maintaining beehives for air quality monitoring and collecting rainwater for irrigation. These initiatives earned the Piossasco team recognition at Wabtec’s 2024 Sustainability Awards, underscoring its leadership in sustainable innovation. Learn more on Invested in Europe.
