The Italian government continues to express concern about the situation in the automotive sector. After Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso also expressed his opinion on the subject with words that were certainly not too optimistic. “We are faced with a substantial failure of the Green Dealthe automotive system is close to collapse“his statements collected by Ansa at the end of the Confindustria assembly.
Urso and a car system at risk of collapse
To support his thesis, Urso cited the example of several German car manufacturers that are about to close some of their production plants and to revise their sales estimates downwards, in this sense the cases of Volkswagen and BMW are exemplary. Of course, the situation in Italy is not going swimmingly: car production fell by 35.5% in the first seven months of the year and by 54.7% in July. Translated: the government’s target of one million vehicles is further and further away.
Meeting scheduled
Can we try to patch up this situation? The government and industrialists will try to understand it next week, since a meeting between the same Urso, Confindustria and the unions has already been set for September 23rd at Palazzo Piacentini: the minister should anticipate the industrial policy proposals for the sector that he will present in Brussels at the competitiveness council the following Thursday, including that of move up the activation of the review clause provided for by the “Regulation on CO2 emissions from new cars and light vehicles” for the end of 2026 will be in the early months of next year.
