Training objectives, learning contents and organization of the activities
Nowadays, the so-called “carbon neutral” logistic requires a deep innovation of the current propulsion systems based on internal combustion engines fueled with petroleum-based fuels (Diesel) or with alternative fuels (CNG and LNG). The adoption of renewable fuels, also of the "drop-in" type, and of different levels of hybridization of the traction system (including the complete electrification of the powertrain for certain applications and missions) represents the main solution for the reduction of CO2 emissions equivalent and pollutants.
The progressive consolidation of the standards that defines intervehicular communication, the rapid evolution of the regulatory framework relating to assisted and autonomous driving vehicles, as well as the pervasiveness of the electronic instrumentation on board the vehicle have made the issues relating to the connected and autonomous vehicle extremely interesting for manufacturers of industrial vehicles and related industries.

The official language of the programme is English.
Classes are held in hybrid mode, with remote/in presence classrooms at Politecnico di Torino – Campus Lingotto*, starting in October 2022 and ending in December 2024.
The programme is residential.
*Furthermore, additional preparatory activities will be organized at CNH Industrial Italian sites for participants who accept the CNHI's job-offer.
Safety measures for in-person teaching and curricular activities
Politecnico di Torino enforces all the regulations and applies specific operational procedures in order to prevent infection with COVID-19, which aim to protect public health and maintain adequate safety conditions in order to facilitate teaching and curricular activities in person (please refers to http://www.coronavirus.polito.it).
In order to promote the widest possible protection of the health of the students and the people working at Politecnico di Torino’s premises, in case it would not be possible to hold classes on site, the Specializing Master’s School will guarantee all classes online, through a virtual classroom platform (on synchronous basis with possibility to register classes to make these available on asynchronous basis).
