Italy also sets the deadline for the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines. A note from the Ministry of Ecological Transition, issued at the end of the fourth meeting of the Cite, the Interministerial Committee for Ecological Transition, states that the phase out of new cars with internal combustion engines must take place by 2035, while for vans and light commercial transport vehicles by 2040. A decision that will have a strong impact on the future of the Italian automotive sector, including that of components.
The aforementioned timelines were defined by the ministers of ecological transition Roberto Cingolani, of sustainable infrastructure and mobility Enrico Giovannini and of economic development Giancarlo Giorgetti. “In this process, it is necessary to implement all the functional solutions for the decarbonisation of transport in a logic of ‘technological neutrality’, thus enhancing not only electric vehicles, but also the potential of hydrogen, as well as recognizing the essential role of biofuels for the transition, in which Italy is building a state-of-the-art domestic supply chain – reads the official press release – As far as niche manufacturers are concerned, specific measures could possibly be evaluated with the European Commission within the Community rules “. Even Italy, therefore, is preparing to put an end to the era of heat engines: the appointment was set for 2035, after which space only for the electric.
