It is an October to forget that of commercial vehicles on the Italian market. Registrations of this type of vehicle were equal to 15,130 units in the tenth month of the year: we are talking about an important drop not only on the same month of 2020 (-19.1%) but also on October 2019, the last “normal” October before the pandemic took over. In the cumulative of the first ten months of the year, the total number of commercial vehicle deliveries thus reached 152,380 units, 0.2% more compared to the period January-October of 2019.
According to Unrae, the responsibility for the decrease registered in October is attributable to shortage of microchips and semiconductors, which is continuing to heavily affect the entire global automotive sector. “If in these critical circumstances a signal of attention from the Government was to be expected, we must unfortunately note that the draft budget law lacks concrete measures to support the sector – commented Michele Crisci, the president of Unrae – While appreciating the fiscal measures envisaged for businesses, such as the tax credit for the purchase of capital goods and the facilities offered by Nuova Sabatini, it is necessary to reiterate that the economic maneuver under discussion in Parliament is the right occasion to formalize in terms by law a medium-term strategy. To renew the circulating park according to Unrae are necessary progressive three-year incentives based on the motorization and, for traditional combustion vehicles, supports only for scrapping “.
Also on the commercial vehicle market the happiest note comes from the segment electrified: hybrid vehicles have shown a strong acceleration, to 5.7% from 0.2% a year ago, while electric vehicles have risen to 1.3% of the total. As for the others power supplies, petrol loses 33% of volumes, stopping at 3.3% share, while an even greater decrease stabilizes methane at 2.2% share. A slight decline also involves diesel, at 84.8% of the market, and finally LPG is confirmed at 2.7% of the total.
