Between direct and indirect workers, or those who use it as a tool for their profession, the automobile involves about 1.2 million of people in Italy. A heritage not only human but also of taxpayers and consumers to which, obviously, the value of companies, which is not only economic, must be added. The situation of the market for registered cars is in decline, thanks to various factors: the consequences of Covid-19, the expensive life, the waiting times for a new car, the uncertainty generated by technological transition. The numbers are clear: already in 2019, the last pre-pandemic year, in the face of 1.9 million registrations, there were signs of stagnation; in 2021 the figure dropped to 1.45 million. The trend of car incentives, with the rapid exhaustion of those dedicated to small-displacement cars, it clearly indicates what Italians buy most. All themes of which the majority will come out of political elections of September 25 will have to deal with. That is why we have heard some of the main parties on the topic automotive and we asked them what they intend to do, both for consumers and with regard to employment and industrial policy. It is a broad but partial point of view. All the teams questioned answered except the Action alliance of Carlo Calenda and Italia Viva of Matteo Renzi. Furthermore, our gaze also includes the point of view of labor unions and a focus on Motor Valley.
