It is the inauguration of Automobili Lamborghini’s new trigeneration and district heating systems that have caused the company’s Sant’Agata Bolognese plant to be recognized by DNV GL (Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd), a global and leading environmental risk management classification, verification and service company.

Conservation of energy and preservation of the environment has always been the responsibility of Automobili Lamborghini while higher levels of sustainability has also been its leading objective.
