The manager of the UIRNet platform will be chosen within the next December. Rodolfo De Dominicis has confirmed today, president of UIRNet, in occasion of the debate on the gratuity of the onboard equipments up to now granted to the road haulage enterprises, remembering that the ban of the contest for research purposes of the manager of the logistic platform is published on December 20, 2013 and that will expire at the end of the next month.

Referring to the demands for information formulated by Confetra and to the declarations returned from minister Lupi on the gratuity of UIRNet ( on 20 June 2014), the same UIRNet has specified that the onboard equipments up to now are granted free of charge in use to the enterprises that of it have made demanded, so as to make to increase the critical mass of users to the aims of the experimentation of the platform, and that the law previews that you carry and to interpose to you they must be however free of charge connected to the platform, while for the private centers the connection is at the expense of the subject beneficiary. Until this moment - it has specified UIRNet - the experimentation of the platform near the haulers and the companies of road haulage has been completely free for the enterprises.

For UIRNet, therefore, the declaration of the relative minister to the onboard equipments expresses, therefore, on one side the truth of whom has happened up to now, from the other a political will for the future that UIRNet considers absolutely coherent with the development model on which it has worked in these years. According to UIRNet, the declarations of minister Lupi confirm in fact the political will to make to take off fastly the platform, being assured however - also in the future - the gratuity of the onboard equipments and the relative installation, let alone of the activity of connected formation. UIRNet has wished that such will is translate in a norm that, still more explicitly than does not make the enforced norms, assures also for the future the gratuity of the onboard equipments and that they take off of the platform is accompanied by incentives for the users of the services. This - it has found the society - could support the phase of start-up and accelerate the phase of insertion and spread of the services to added value from which it attends the economic balance and the profit of the platform in mean-along term.

UIRNet has emphasized moreover that the strategy that has determined the realization of National the Logistic Platform (the value of the concession - it has remembered the society - is of about two billions) is based on the necessity to at least recover part of the gap logistic that weighs on the operators and that it has contributed to sanction the devastating decrease of the Gross Domestic Product one of last the five years.

Regarding the contest for the realization and the management of the platform, UIRNet has clarified that this previews that the potential manager must write up a business plan on the base of the market analysis, than does not only concern to the road haulage but also to fixed infrastructures. From this analysis the proposals of the potential managers with respect to times of introduction will derive and rates are of the services base that of the services to added value and moreover the direct and indirect economic benefits on the users and the system country. UIRNet, felt the ministry, will have to select the more favorable proposal, that it will successively find expression in a convention between UIRNet and the manager and that is however subordinate to the ministerial approval.
