Park&Charge is the project realised by Telepass in collaboration with ADR Mobility for Rome Fiumicino Airport. Launched in December 2024, it allows Telepass customers to park and recharge their electric or plug-in hybrid car in a dedicated area of the airport's multi-storey car park, with a single tariff that integrates parking and recharging. The service includes reserved parking spaces, access via dedicated lanes, automatic recharging without the need for its own cables and, finally, direct payment via Telepass device.

The evolution of urban services also concerns the digital management of city access. Among the most recent initiatives is the activation of automatic payment for Palermo's ZTL through the Telepass app.

After Milan, Palermo is among the most digitised cities

Since the beginning of May, Telepass customers have been able to access the limited traffic zones of the Sicilian capital through an entirely digital process, without paper permits, manual operations or separate payments. After Milan, Palermo is, in fact, among the first major Italian cities to introduce an integrated system of this kind. The service, which can be activated directly in the app, includes a digital request and confirmation process, with dedicated procedures also for specific types of vehicles as set out by the City Council.

The aim is the integration of services into a single platform

The digitisation of parking, blue strips, charging and urban access is one of the main directions of development in city mobility. The integration of services into a single platform will in the future not only reduce the operational friction that can occur with payments, but also simplify the motorist experience and make travel management in urban contexts more efficient.
