Cruising into a New Chapter: Laura Echino Takes the Helm at Aiaga
Focus on Education and Electrified Vehicle Operations
Embracing the challenge, Laura Echino steps into the presidency position at Aiaga, succeeding Giovanni Tortorici. Her heartfelt words echo, "I'm taking on this role with a mix of emotion and responsibility, as Aiaga is a project I was instrumental in initiating and hold close to my heart. I am well aware of the substantial work done by our founding president, Giovanni Tortorici, who has paved a formidable path for us. My commitment is unwavering, to keep the founding values of this association burning bright."
With a solid scope in mind, Echino's focus for this term is geared towards fortifying ties with existing members and expanding Aiaga's foundation, cultivating a community that thrives on the exchange of expertise and experiences. "Aiaga will remain attentive to the latest technological and legislative advancements, advocating for the development of sustainable mobility models that benefit the environment, economy, and society" says Echino. The electrification of fleets stays top-of-mind. Echino emphasizes, "What we need is a flexible approach, evaluating real-life operational needs and targeting ways to minimize environmental impact. Electric motors alone do not guarantee a fully sustainable ride; it's paramount that we scout every possible technological avenue, enabling each fleet to transform efficiently and responsibly."
Another significant area of focus for the association is training. "Over the years, we have forged strategic partnerships with reputable training entities offering association-approved courses," Echino explains. "This practice will persist, but we are also brewing plans for more swift and nimble initiatives." The international scope of the projects undertaken and relationships forged will continue to be a priority. "We are founding members of FMFE - Fleet and Mobility Management Federation Europe, the federation that unites the key national associations in the sector at the European level. This partnership allows us to offer our members a current and global perspective, assisting them in navigating the changing tides and anticipating future challenges with heightened awareness and expertise."
