Problem
Many public and private transport operators rely on aging diesel or gasoline vehicles, which generate high emissions and incur costly fuel expenses. Replacing these fleets with brand‑new electric vehicles requires large capital outlays, making the transition financially prohibitive for many operators.
Solution
Riconversione Elettrica offers a retrofit service that converts existing buses, trucks, tractors, and marine vessels to electric propulsion, optionally combining battery packs with hydrogen fuel‑cell modules for higher power or extended range. By reusing the original chassis and body, the company delivers zero‑emission performance at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new electric units. The conversion process includes removal of the internal‑combustion powertrain, installation of electric motors, control electronics, and energy storage tailored to the vehicle’s duty cycle. Customers receive a fully certified, road‑legal vehicle that integrates with existing maintenance routines while reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
Target Audience
Primary customers are municipal transit agencies, logistics companies, agricultural operators, and marine service providers that own conventional vehicle fleets and seek cost‑effective electrification.
