The Italian car market recorded a new collapse in August: registrations - according to data from the Ministry of Transport - were 64,689, 27.3% less than in the same month of 2020. Since the beginning of the year they have been sold in all 1,060,182 cars, up 30.9% compared to the same period last year, but down 20% on 2019.
Stellantis sold 21,636 cars in Italy in August, 36.3% less than in the same month of 2020. In the eight months, the group's registrations totaled 412,580, up 31.3% over the same period of the year last.
In the coming months, the situation of the Italian car market "can only worsen given the rapid exhaustion of the Ecobonus allocated by the Sostegni bis in favor of pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with 0-60 g / km CO2 emissions".
Unrae
underlines this
, the association of foreign car manufacturers. "A paradoxical situation - explains the president Michele Crisci - because, as is well known, with the expiry of the Ecobonus, the complementary funds allocated to finance the Extrabonus remain unusable. In this way, the purchase of more vehicles is effectively blocked. in line with the Pnrr's commitments to accelerate the path of decarbonisation of transport and the modernization of the obsolete Italian fleet. The solution is an immediate refinancing of the Ecobonus for the 0-20 and 21-60 g / Km CO2 bands through a any regulatory vehicle available in a short time, or, in an emergency, with a partial transfer to the Ecobonus of the resources stopped in the Extrabonus,thus immediately restarting the incentive mechanism and relaunching the sales of pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids ". Unrae invites" to refinance as of now the incentives for the higher emission bands, 61-135 g / km of CO2, which so far have made it possible to obtain excellent results for renewing the old fleet ":" even for cars in this range - warns Crisci - early exhaustion of funds is expected in the first week of October, while commercial vehicles are not Bev the allocated funds have already run out in recent days. We therefore look forward to an urgent intervention by the Government to give substance to the good intentions demonstrated so far, and we also continue to insist that long-term strategic measures be adopted for the entire market,starting from 2022 which is now upon us, abandoning the logic of stop and go interventions ".
the worsening of the Italian car market in August is due to "the lack of sales support given by the scrapping incentives foreseen for the first half of 2021 for cars with CO2 emissions between 61 and 135 gr / km" the "extension of the crisis in the supply of microchips with heavy repercussions on the production activity and therefore on the delivery times of the cars". The
Promotor Study Center
explains it
. "The icing on the cake is the fact that in the last days of August the allocation for eco-bonuses for the purchase of cars with CO2 emissions from 0 to 60 gr / km was also exhausted. 57 million still remain available for extra bonuses at the same cars, but these extra bonuses are payable only to those who benefit from an eco-bonus. So at the moment the allocation is not usable. This has resulted in a situation that defining a perfect storm on the car is absolutely appropriate ". According to Gian Primo Quagliano, president of the Centro Studi Promotor, "the recovery of the Italian economy cannot gain further momentum if the car sector proves to be a ball and chain. It is therefore necessary that the Government and Parliament intervene immediately to overcome the August storm.This means immediately refinancing the eco-bonuses for green cars. Refinance also the incentives for cars from 61 to 135 gr / km of CO2 which should run out by October and then use the 2022 Budget Law to create the premises for a car policy that gives a concrete perspective to the transition towards electric car: it is now an irreversible choice for the EU, for car manufacturers, for national and local governments and must become a concrete perspective for the people as well. It is necessary to ban the episodic solutions and to launch a policy of permanent incentives in favor of the ecological transition ".Refinance also the incentives for cars from 61 to 135 gr / km of CO2 which should run out by October and then use the 2022 Budget Law to create the premises for a car policy that gives a concrete perspective to the transition towards electric car: it is now an irreversible choice for the EU, for car manufacturers, for national and local governments and must become a concrete perspective for the people as well.
