(Finance) – in the month of March 2025 The commercial vehicle market (PTT up to 3.5 t) records a new decline, marking the eighth consecutive decline in double digits: -14.1% with 17,415 registrations compared to 20,280 units of the same month of 2024, losing almost 2,900 vehicles. The first quarter of the final year therefore a total of 47,724 units, with a flexion of 15.2% compared to 56,295 of the previous year. This is what emerges from the data published by URAE.
Registrations of vehicle electric pure They stand out on a share of 3.2%, in line with the result of February and growing compared to 1.6% in March 2024, which was penalized by waiting for the start of the incentives.
It also concerns the climate of uncertainty generated by geopolitical tensions and, in particular, by the effects of tensions commercial with the States United. In this context, the exclusion of the automotive sector from the 90 -day postponement of the application of American duties, with potential negative impacts on the European market.
On the floor regulationsUNRAE welcomes the presentation, last April 1, of the proposal for the regulation concerning light vehicles, with which the European Commission intends to introduce greater flexibility in achieving the CO2 emission objectives set for 2025. The new setting would allow to calculate the average performance on a three-year period (2025-2027), allowing you to compensate for any deviations in one or two years with excess results in others, without changing the prefixed targets.
“We positively welcome the proposal of the Commission European to introduce a mechanism of greater flexibility for emissive objectives, but we continue to strongly report the lack of concrete interventions to support the energy transition, both in the European and above all, above all in our country “, he declares Michele CristciPresident of UNRAE. “In Italy It is urgent to provide a structural plan that includes funds dedicated to the revision of taxation, in line with what is indicated in European automotive action planwhich provides recommendations and identifies the actions that national, regional and municipal authorities can adopt to accelerate the adoption of zero -emission vehicles in company fleets “, continues Crisci.
“In addition – concludes the president – it is necessary to fill the infrastructure gap which today represents one of the main obstacles to the transition. Light Duty Vehicles are included in the European incentive programs for the development of charging infrastructures, like heavy vehicles “.
For this purpose, UNRAE asks that for our country there is a tax credit 50% for private investments in Fast charging infrastructures (above 70 kW of power) for the three-year period 2025-2027. These are essential measures to accompany the decarbonization of light commercial transport in a concrete and structural way.
There market structure of March 2025, with almost definitive data, compared with the same period 2024, confirms a generalized flexion between the sales channels, except for the self -packs that remain substantially stable in volume and rise to 10% altitude (+1.4 pp, to 8.5% in the 1st quarter).
