Also Northern companies take sides against the Cite proposal to ban the sale of new cars with heat engines starting from 2035. Confindustria Nord and the presidents Francesco Buzzella of Confindustria Lombardia, Pietro Ferrari of Emilia-Romagna, Marco Gay of Piedmont and Enrico Carraro of Veneto have expressed in chorus all their concern and their bewilderment at a decision that came as a out of the blue, and that it will not be managed properly could create a strong sentiment of negativity throughout the national automotive sector.
“We denounce the lack of clear planning which allows the thousands of Italian companies in the sector to gradually adapt to the European Union’s imposition to proceed with the electrification of engines, completely abandoning combustion – their words reported in a note quoted by Il Sole 24 Ore on newsstands today – Italian entrepreneurs are in favor of decarbonisation but advocate technological neutrality ”. Above all, they hope that the more than 70,000 jobs threatened by the electric transition to mobility can be secured in some way: this is also why they are convinced that the established timing of 2035 is utopian, or using their own words “impracticable“. On the other hand, it must be said that the industry is facing an unprecedented technological transition, and that it risks, without any gradual mechanism, the blocking of investments in combustion engines.
“In relation to the willingness expressed by the Deputy Minister for Economic Development Alessandra Todde, Confindustria confirms its full willingness to discuss, quickly, on all issues concerning the attractiveness of investments in Italy and the complex issues of crises and industrial supply chains with particular reference to the automotive “, concludes the note. The protest voice of the northern companies echo those of Anfia, which just yesterday asked for a rethink or in any case a clarification from the competent authorities regarding this measure.
