Master in Smart Commercial Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility

The second-level master in Smart Commercial Vehicles for Sustainable Mobility trains engineers specialised in the commercial vehicle sector, at a time when the energy transition and digitalisation are profoundly changing the transport of goods and people. The programme covers multi-energy propulsion, electric and hybrid vehicles, sustainable fuels, connected vehicles and digital mobility, with an interdisciplinary approach that combines mechanics, energy, electronics and computer science. The commercial vehicle sector has specific needs compared with cars: high mileage, heavy loads, intensive use and attention to operating costs. The master addresses these aspects together with the new challenges of decarbonisation, with solutions that include electric and hybrid engines, alternative fuels and the connectivity technologies that make it possible to optimise routes and maintenance.

Teaching combines academic lessons, research laboratories and practical activities in the company, with university lecturers and industry professionals. The format is in person with on-the-job training at Iveco Group: over 400 hours of academic activity are accompanied by 210 hours of Iveco training and 525 hours of project work in the company, integrated into the programme. The master lasts two years, is held in Turin and is entirely in English. Participation is at zero cost to the student. The page does not give the credits, the calendar, the start dates and the application deadlines. The collaboration with Iveco Group is the element that distinguishes the programme: students do not merely study in the classroom, but work in a real industrial setting, with defined tasks and responsibilities, supported by company tutors and university lecturers. This model fosters the acquisition of immediately usable skills and makes the experience more like a gradual entry into the company.

The aim is to train professionals for the commercial vehicle and sustainable mobility industry, able to design, develop and manage innovative solutions. The career opportunities indicated include sustainable mobility consultant, transport engineer, mechanical engineer, sustainability project manager and energy efficiency technician. The master is suited to young engineers who want an experience closely linked to industry. A master's degree in engineering or an equivalent qualification, an age under 30 and English of at least B2 level are required. The university is ranked 241st in the 2025 QS world rankings and 103rd in Europe. The programme is demanding, because it requires two years of continuous activity and a level of English sufficient to follow lessons and projects. For this reason the admission requirements are precise and include an age limit: the master is aimed at young engineers who wish to specialise in a sector that is strategic for industry and for the sustainable mobility of the future.
