We prove some Hardy-type inequalities related to quasilinear second-order degenerate elliptic differential operators . If is a positive weight such that , then the Hardy-type inequalityholds. We find an explicit value of the constant involved, which, in most cases, results optimal. As particular case we derive Hardy inequalities for subelliptic operators on Carnot Groups.
