(Finance) – “Car incentives are planned because they focus mainly on vehicles that can be produced in our country” and “in Europe we managed to get the regulation changed Euro7, Stellantis’ main request to invest in Italy”.
For these two reasons, “cWe now expect significant increases in national car production.” The Minister of Business and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, said this on the Rai Radio 1 program “Il Rosso e il nero”.
“For cars we do not give financial aid to individual companies – the minister further said -. We can create a new and extraordinary incentive plan, with greater resources, which this year are almost 1 billion euros”. According to Urso, the aid criteria are three: in addition to supporting cars produced in Italy, he explained, “we give more resources to those who scrap the most polluting cars and to those with the lowest incomes, with incentives of up to 13,750 euros”.
“The problem is how to increase national car production – concluded Urso -. In the last ten years there has been a reduction in production capacity. But just yesterday Tavares (CEO of Stellantis) said that he could change Stellantis’ projects, to arrive in the next few years 1 million vehicles produced in Italy (per year, ed.).
“In 2023, Stellantis’ production in Italy increased by +9.6% to 752 thousand vehicles, that of components by +10.5%. We have the capacity to reach 1 million vehicles by 2030 and perhaps even earlier if production continues to grow by 10% per year“, the CEO of Stellantis Carlos Tavares said in the last few hours in a press meeting on the 2023 accounts. “In 2023 we took a first significant step. I want to congratulate all the Italian employees for their commitment and contribution to the group’s record results – underlined Tavares –. 63% of Italian production is exported. Stellantis It is a major contributor to the country’s trade balance.”
