Sustainability
A long-standing value, reflected in its investments in energy efficiency, digitalisation and sustainable architecture.
Green: Our Colour, Our Commitment
At Merlo, green is more than just a colour — it’s a visible, measurable commitment. It represents a conscious choice to invest in clean technologies, optimise production processes, and develop solutions that reduce environmental impact throughout every stage of a product’s life cycle.
A daily commitment to a sustainable future
For Merlo, sustainability isn’t an abstract idea — it’s a guiding principle that shapes every decision, from design to production. Our ambitious yet achievable goal is to become energy self-sufficient by combining technological innovation, environmental responsibility, and continuous investment in efficiency.
Our entire facility is designed to minimise environmental impact. LED lighting, intelligent heating, and natural light control systems, along with new buildings featuring high thermal efficiency, form a production ecosystem optimised to consume less — and consume better.
We continuously improve our internal logistics and equipment to avoid waste and reduce consumption. In our industrial processes, we significantly limit the use of non-essential materials such as metals and printed paper. Smart technologies manage key resources: water and light sensors, along with automatic shut-off systems, help prevent waste and promote a more responsible production cycle.
Zero Emissions Range
With the Zero Emissions range, Merlo introduces a new era in the world of material handling: electric solutions designed to minimise emissions, improve efficiency and operate in complete safety, even in difficult environments. It is a tangible response to environmental challenges that does not compromise on performance or reliability.

e-WORKER
Merlo’s first fully electric telehandler. Battery powered and equipped with regenerative braking, it delivers zero emissions and minimal noise — ideal for urban areas and indoor environments.
ROTO Plug-In
The hybrid solution that combines an electric motor with a combustion engine, ensuring flexibility, autonomy and reduced emissions in a single high-performance vehicle.
M600TD-e
A compact, fully electric tracked carrier designed for indoor use, confined spaces and operations that require low noise, precision and zero emissions.
Lithium-ion batteries
Our Zero Emissions machines can also be equipped with high-efficiency lithium-ion batteries ensuring long operating times, faster recharging cycles and a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional technologies.
Sustainability Driven by Innovation
At Merlo, sustainability is not a trend — it’s a promise reflected in every machine, process, and technology we develop. Through ongoing investment in energy efficiency, digitalisation, and intelligent design, we work every day to reduce our environmental footprint and contribute to a more responsible future.
From our advanced production systems to our Zero Emissions solutions, every step reflects a forward-looking industrial vision — one where performance, safety, and environmental respect coexist in perfect balance.
