A singular fact, given that the registrations of October 3 will be in effect September 30.

incentives stuck at the stake
–
In the comments of the players in the automotive supply chain, there is the alarm regarding the funds allocated to incentives for zero or very low emission cars also by long-term rental companies. Two months after approval, the Dpcm of 4 August was published in the Official Gazette, a necessary step to unblock the use of funds, but an extremely restrictive interpretation of the provision seems to emerge, according to which the funds intended for rental would be none other than those previously allocated for car sharing, and to date largely unused, which however amount to only 20 million euros, just 5% of the total for a channel that normally absorbs 20% of the volumes of cars that benefit from incentives. “This interpretation greatly demeans the scope of the provision – underlines the President of Unrae Michele Crisci – and does not at all correspond to the expectations of the sector, leaving the problem of the full use of funds completely unsolved”. “I want to hope – continues the President of Unrae – that an effective solution can be found as soon as possible, also by way of interpretation, which will allow a wide and complete operation of the sector, being able to benefit from the amount allocated to promote the diffusion of vehicles low emissions “. Similar tones from those of Adolfo De Stefani Cosentino, President of Federauto, the Federation of car dealers: “After the restoration and alignment of the telematic systems of Mims, the unavailability of which on September 30th had caused strong apprehension among the operators of the supply chain , the final figure for the month shows growth attributable not only to the first effects of the incentives launched with the Dpcm of last April, especially in comparison with a disastrous September 2021, whose registration volumes had recorded -32.5% »”.
