In view of the next edition of E-Charge, taking place from October 7 to 9, 2026, at BolognaFiere, we are republishing the interview with Francesco Quaglieri, Business Development Manager at MOON POWER Italia, conducted on the occasion of last year’s edition.

“At E-Charge 2025, the partnership with MAN Italia for the electrification of heavy-duty transport was presented. The aim is to support Italian companies in the transition to electric mobility through integrated solutions and dedicated charging infrastructure, energy consultancy, and support for the MAN dealer network.”

Francesco Quaglieri, Business Development Manager at MOON POWER Italia, a Volkswagen Group Italia brand that markets solutions for charging infrastructure and energy management, strongly believes in the project and emphasizes its importance.

“In this sector, reliable hardware is essential because this is a business that simply cannot afford downtime,” he says. “The partnership is important and highlights Volkswagen Group’s ability to create an integrated system by bringing together expertise and solutions that go beyond the automotive sector.”

MOON POWER’s charging projects are tailored to the specific needs of each company, based on a preliminary analysis of its vehicle fleet and a customized energy proposal.

“Our consultancy covers the entire process, from design to after-sales support. It also includes energy storage systems and software for managing charging points,” Quaglieri adds.

Room for growth

How does all this fit into the market?

“In Italy, we are still behind many European countries, where electrification has now become well established,” he replies. “So far, what may have been missing is strategic planning at a national level.”

According to Quaglieri, however, there is no alternative to the transition to electric mobility, and there is considerable room for growth. The real turning point in the automotive market will come with the introduction of more affordable vehicles, both in terms of size and price.
