The associations that represent in Italy the entire world of sustainable mobility and the automotive industrial and commercial chains “are cohesive and incredulous in the face of the total absence, in the budget law, of measures to address the ecological and energy transition of mobility”. This is what is indicated in a joint note signed by Anfia, Aniasa, Assofond, Federauto, Motus-E, Ucimu and Unrae, which complains that “despite the active participation in the work of the Automotive Table, it has produced various proposals for intervention, both political industry for the reconversion of the automotive supply chain, which of multi-year planning to support the purchase of vehicles with zero and very low emissions for citizens and businesses, the institutions, on the occasion of the economic planning of the country, seem unwilling to intervene “.
The associations ask “President Draghi, the competent ministers Giorgetti and Cingolani, as well as Minister Franco, to promptly remedy the total absence of automotive policies in an extremely delicate moment for the sector, keeping faith with the announced commitments and implementing to the measures that have long been shared and made explicit in a united way by all the actors “. Italy “is the only European country, with an important automotive manufacturing vocation, which does not support and direct the consumer towards the purchase of zero and very low emission cars and commercial vehicles, nor does it intervene with specific measures to safeguard levels occupational “. Faced with this, concludes the joint note, without a strategic plan to favor “the renewal of the fleet” and “support the spread of ecological vehicles”, there is the risk of “not allowing Italy to reach the targets on penetration in the fleet of vehicles with zero and very low emissions pre-established by the National Energy and Climate Plan and for the reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030 and 2050, pre-established at European level and signed by our country “.
“It is not clear why Italy, which currently has exceptional resources, has not so far launched a plan to support the car sector which is in dire straits” says Gian Primo Quagliano, president of the Promotor Study Center. . “The budget law, like the NRP, condemns the automotive industry and workers to a dramatic crisis. Thousands of workers are at risk “say Michele De Palma, Fiom national secretary and Simone Marinelli, automotive coordinator for Fiom, who do not rule out” a national mobilization in Rome if answers arrive “. Gianluca Ficco, Uilm national secretary, argues that “the government continues to flaunt a guilty indifference towards the fate of the sector”, while the national secretary Fim Cisl Ferdinando Uliano and the automotive coordinator Stefano Boschini insist on the need for “a fund to support the transformation of the automobile industry as other countries in Europe have done ».
