(Finance) – “Come on car incentives last year, one extremely small part equal to approximately 2% ends up Chinese cars and this year’s incentive plan was designed even more closely on the model of national production and on the model of needs of the working classes”. OLo clarified the Minister of Business and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso on the sidelines of CIBUS 2024 in Parma.
“It’s a incentive plan – he underlined – which supports to a greater extent the scrapping of older cars and, therefore, more polluting (0, 1, 2, 3) and we still have 25% of highly polluting car fleets in circulation, the oldest and most polluting in Europe.
“The second line is that of support especially those who cannot afford it – explained the Minister – therefore citizens, workers and lower income families, so that they too can aspire to have an ecologically sustainable car. There third direction is that the incentives are packaged in such a way, by encourage national production. This is an incentive plan that we can define as Italian.”
About the pcontroversy over the name “Modena” to an SUV produced by Xiaomi, Urso explained “after my speech on Saturday, very clear and clear, in support of the just claims of the mayor of Modena, the company contacted the Ministry to ensure that he would not use this name ‘Modena’ on a product made entirely in China and which would have complied with all the rules on false indicationsto protect the consumer and national production, which the ministry has highlighted very clearly so that companies know how to regulate themselves”.
