"This spring we are celebrating our 14th anniversary," says Massimo Ferro, founder of the guiding and shuttle company "Aosta Valley Freeride". "It's hard to believe how far we've come, always faced with changes, challenges, failures and new goals. This is also what spring, the season of change, is all about. It's the inner drive that makes us do more for family, friends, our community and also for ourselves."

For the company, this means that the renowned shuttle and guiding company is well aware that bike transportation causes emissions. The decision was therefore made to use an e-shuttle in order to gradually move away from combustion engines. The towing vehicle is a Peugeot E-Traveller, whose battery lasts for around 300 kilometers according to the manufacturer. However, Ferro expects a shorter range with the mountain trips and bike trailers. But after the still short test phase, he and his team are already in agreement: "The vehicle performs its duties perfectly, which is why we will be replacing all existing vehicles with e-shuttles over the years. The battery lasts for around 170 kilometers during our operations, which is the equivalent of an entire shuttle day."
