Car manufacturers and dealers, through the associations that represent them, remain concerned about the prospects of the sector in the year that has just begun.

If we consider the pre-pandemic data (2019), the market lost 18.7% and it is not comforting that the Italian situation is within that of the European Union, whose definitive data will be released in mid-January, but does not promise to be positive.

“On the European side, one is needed urgent review of the path that will lead to 2035 and beyond, and, from this perspective, we strongly support the government’s work with the Mimit non-paper and the work of ACEA and CLEPA to modify the current legislation in terms of flexibility and technological neutrality”, ANFIA writes in a note. In the meantime, we remind you that the European Commission has announced the launch of a “Strategic dialogue on the future of the European automotive industry” scheduled for January 2025.
