Microtec is pushing forward with the transformation into the electric future of the company by investing in e-bikes for its employees. With this ‘green solution,’ we want to achieve mainly three main objectives: easying journeys between home and the workplace, offering a fun way to exercise more, and giving the employees the chance to travel sustainably without causing noise and traffic problems.
The beginning of the construction works of the new Microtec building led to a shortage of parking spaces and this is when the idea of renting e-bikes was born. After testing various solutions, such as the renting of parking lots at nearby companies, we decided to rent a bunch of e-bikes and to provide them free of charge to the employees who live in Brixen or the nearby surroundings.
The electric bicycles are available for daily travel from home to the workplace as well as for private use, in order to go on errands or do leisure activities. “These e-bikes are an excellent alternative to the cars to reach quickly and without stress the workplace without getting stuck in traffic jams”, commented one of our satisfied e-bike drivers.
So far, our staff welcomed the initiative with great enthusiasm: instead of driving a car, now they come to work with their e-bikes, an ideal mean of transport during the hot spring and summer months. This is why the company is considering the possibility of repeating and consolidating the proposal in the next few years and therefore to install more bicycle racks.
As the world's leading manufacturer of wood scanning solutions, Microtec is developing new approaches and solutions that allow obtaining a higher wood yield with substantial economic benefits for our customers.
Consequently, while ensuring a unique insight into the wood, Microtec's innovative solutions also contribute to reduce waste and making full use of a natural resource. In alignment with the company’s values of innovation and sustainability, these goals go hand-in-hand with the daily use of electric bikes by the employees – also a measure in favor of the environment.
Avoiding stress and traffic jams: our employees welcomed the e-bike initiative with great enthusiam!
