Summary

MICRO-VETT S.p.A. is the top firm in Italy – and one of the leaders in Europe – for the design and construction of electrically powered vehicles.

Since 1986 Micro-Vett has been producing electric, hybrid and bimodal vehicles with the aim of improving environmental sustainability and energy efficiency through continued technological research, in full respect of current regulations and upholding the interests of all those involved. 

Working closely with large-scale vehicle manufacturers (FIAT, Piaggio and Iveco) and with well-known research institutes (Fiat Research Centre), Micro-Vett is able to produce high-level technology that combines high standard, quality vehicles with the complete technical reliability of an electric traction system designed and produced in-house. In this way it's possible to offer concrete solutions to mobility and environmental problems in urban areas.
