Renewing the heavily polluting car fleet in Italy is a problem that “cannot be resolved with a single measure”. This was stated by the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto, when questioned on the sidelines of an event by the Civita association, explaining that “it is a path that must see, on the one hand, a little help with incentives, from another thing is a standardization of the prices of the new market, where the road is electric but not only, because in the meantime the technologies will allow us to also have endothermic engines with technological neutrality”.
In Italy, the minister recalled, “there are 40 million cars, we even have almost 3 million between euro 1 and 2, which pollute 28 times a euro 6”.
Regarding the 127 million euro incentives for unused electric cars, the minister recalled that “there was a stop in production because it was realized that microchips were being produced in two places in the world, in South Korea and Taiwan” . And as regards the remodulation of the incentives, it is “an assessment that the competent minister will have to make”, concluded Pichetto.
