About us

VADO E TORNO was founded in 1962 and remained part of the Pirelli group until 1975, when it was transferred to the umbrella of Edizioni Tecniche Moderne. In 1987, the magazine was acquired by VADO E TORNO EDIZIONI, an independent publishing house that immediately launched an expansion program. This led to the birth of the monthly magazine, DIESEL, now POWERTRAIN, specifically for the highly specialized professional category of OEMs. Two other magazines, AUTOBUS and TRATTORI, followed in 1991 and 1998, respectively. These too had a strong professional character and were developed intorno to the main theme, mechanization. Between 2019 and 2021, three English-language publications were added to the national publications: Powertrain, Sustainable Bus, and Sustainable Truck&Van.

Today, VADO E TORNO EDIZIONI, in addition to the newspapers, organizes conferences, events, creates videos and films, and manages four international awards, in order of institution, TRACTOR OF THE YEAR, DIESEL OF THE YEAR, SUSTAINABLE TRUCK OF THE YEAR, SUSTAINABLE BUS AWARD.
