The president of Anfia Paolo Scudieri and the governor of the Campania Region Vincenzo De Luca illustrated the "Borgo 4.0" project at the "Adler Speed Lab" experimentation circuit in Ottaviano, which will see the construction of a technological platform for sustainable and safe mobility in Lioni (Avellino). Directly supported by the Campania Region with an investment of 50 million euros, Borgo 4.0 is a supply chain project that integrates research, development and technological innovation actions with the experimentation, in a real and scale environment, of new technologies for autonomous and connected driving. The car of the future will take shape in Lioni: a highly automated, connected, digital and sustainable vehicle intended to revolutionize the car's relationship with man and the environment. The public-private partnership is coordinated by the managing body “Anfia Automotive”. 54 companies in the sector, three public research centers and five Campanian universities participate in the program of technological innovation applied to industry, in addition to the Cnr. Scudieri, president of Anfia and Adler Group, defined Borgo 4.0 «The industrial and technological challenge of 5G to car mobility and automation. What will arrive in Lioni and in Alta Irpinia is the most advanced modernity there is today and in the near future ». For years, Scudieri has emphasized the strategic significance of this program for Italy and its historic protagonism at world level in the history of mobility, without neglecting the opportunities that the project will offer to the territories involved, starting with what was renamed the heart of the Crater after the 1980 earthquake, Alta Irpinia. In Lioni, the initial investments will be used to transform the infrastructural and urban habitat of the town with 5G and digital connection technology, which will open the door of the future to the province of Avellino. With the Borgo 4.0 Lioni will be equipped with the mandatory infrastructures provided for by the "smart road" decree, necessary to test highly automated cars. It will have the 5G network for fast connections, different real-time survey and monitoring systems, then V2I and V2X, systems that allow the vehicle on the road to communicate with the surrounding environment. The regional intervention aims to encourage research, technology transfer and innovation processes in the field of sustainable and safe mobility with the aim of stimulating the attraction of new investments, affirming the central role of the Italian components chain at the national and international level.
