Somebody recalls the past, somebody live the present somebody dreams the future and somebody else, on the other hand, chose to create his own destiny day after day, with courage and passion. We would have never arrived at this point without commitment, love and dedication. And without the support of a tight and skilled team, which keeps high the honour of our Group and the reputation which proudly has always accompanied us. Many operators are active in logistics and freight, but only one is called Arcese: That’s our difference. Our brand, our values, our history. It was not casual that we became European leaders in our market, but rather a specific choice. We deliberately decided to represent excellence, to be always driven by a strong innovation spirit, to offer a range of highly advanced and tailored services with a real added value. And together we build and reached our ambitious goals, day by day. And that’s why I can declare, without any doubt, that any success, any achievement, any recognition gained belongs to each one of you. And it’s for you and with you that we’ll keep on building day by day the future of logistics for being evermore unrivalled front players, yesterday and tomorrow. Thank you, my fellow travellers. Thank you, Arcese Group.

100% EURO 5 Our fleet, recently renovated, is composed at 100% by Euro 5 certified vehicles and new EEV (Enhanced Environmentally-friendly Vehicle) vehicles, capable to return values which further improve those shown by the ordinary Euro 4 and Euro 5, namely in low smoke emissions and the cut of particulate levels.
The Arcese fleet is constantly monitored in our workshops, the constant maintenance, together with the use of the latest technologies, helps to maximise efficiency of vehicles and minimize consumption.
