The trucks started on Monday evening 22:00 local time at the Vienna airport, Austria, and drove the whole night via Brenner highway to Bolzano. The freighter took over the carriage free of charge, the Austrian Government gave logistic supply for the transport from China to South Tyrol. The South Tyrolean Business Association supported the delivery. The masks and protective suits can now be distributed in South Tyrol and other northern Italian regions where they are urgently needed .
