Sustainability
A long-standing value, reflected in its investments in energy efficiency, digitalisation and sustainable architecture.
Green: our colour, a real commitment
The Merlo green colour is not just a distinctive feature. It is a real, visible and measurable commitment. It represents a conscious choice: investing in clean technologies, optimised production processes and solutions that reduce environmental impact at every stage of the product life cycle.
A daily commitment to a sustainable future
At Merlo, sustainability is not an abstract concept, but an operating principle that guides every choice, from design to production. The goal is ambitious yet achievable: to become energy self-sufficient by combining technological innovation, environmental awareness and continuous investment in efficiency.
The entire plant is powered by renewable sources and designed to minimise environmental impact. LED lighting, intelligent heating and natural lighting control systems, as well as new buildings with high thermal efficiency, are part of a production ecosystem optimised to consume less and better.
Internal logistics and equipment are constantly being improved to avoid waste and reduce consumption, while in industrial processes we drastically limit the use of non-essential materials, such as metals and printed paper. Resource management is also entrusted to smart technologies: water and light sensors and automatic shut-off systems limit daily waste, contributing to an increasingly responsible production cycle.
Zero Emissions range
With the Zero Emissions range, Merlo is ushering in 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
The first fully electric Merlo telehandler. Battery-powered, equipped with regenerative braking and providing zero emissions. Ideal for urban environments or indoor spaces where noise and pollution must be minimised.
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
The compact, fully electric tracked carrier. Designed to operate indoors, in confined spaces and in situations that require low noise, precision and zero emissions.
Lithium-ion batteries
Zero Emissions machines can also be equipped with high-efficiency lithium batteries to ensure long autonomy, faster recharging cycles and a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional technologies.
Concrete sustainability, driven by innovation
For Merlo, sustainability is not a trend, but a commitment that starts in the factory and is reflected in every machine, process and technological choice. Thanks to continuous investment in energy efficiency, digitalisation and intelligent design, we work every day to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a more responsible future. From production systems to Zero-Emissions solutions, every step is geared towards an advanced industrial vision, where performance, safety and respect for the environment coexist in balance.
Join us in the new era of a sustainable future.
