"Italy is late" on the transition in the auto sector and we must "accelerate investments" but the "times and ways that Europe imposes on us do not coincide with the European and above all Italian reality".
This was stated by the Minister of Industry and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso on 'Radio anch'io regarding the EU stop to vehicles with internal combustion engines in 2035. "We cannot face reality with an ideological and partisan vision that seems to emerge from the European institutions".
The minister wondered why Europe does not adopt "technological neutrality" and a timing that responds more to reality and gradually, also allowing other sources such as biofuels, biomethane and hydrogen.
"This ideological vision - he says - seems to me the same as a few years ago when Russia was looked at as the only energy source for Europe" and we now risk "moving from energy dependence on Russia to technological dependence on China on the electricity supply chain ".
