TORINO — Incentives of up to 13,750 euros to buy a new electric car if you scrap an old car, from Euro 0 to Euro 2, and you have a family income of less than 30 thousand euros. It is the maximum foreseen by the new Ecobonus mechanism developed by the Meloni government. Tect which drops to 11 thousand euros if the ISEE is higher than 30 thousand euros. A system on which the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, led by Adolfo Urso, has been working for months, which was shared in the last specific car table, which brings together unions, Stellantis and Anfia. Debut in 2024after the government has issued a new Prime Ministerial Decree, by January, to implement the changes and innovations, including social leasing for families with medium-low incomes. A system exchanged by France that will also be tested in Italy: it will allow families with a low income to have a contribution against a rental contract of no less than three years to use a car that is among those incentivized with the Ecobonus. The details will be defined after the launch of the Prime Ministerial Decree, as will the body that will manage the leasing, a mechanism proposed by the Aci.
The new incentives follow three objectives. The first. Replacement of the car fleet circulating in Italy, the oldest in Europe, with 11 million euro 0-1-2-3 vehicles that pollute. The second one. “Support less well-off families who have old cars, but don’t have the resources to change them,” Urso remarks. “We seek social sustainability as well as, and this is the third objective, environmental sustainability which must favor the national product – says Urso – we will try to encourage the purchase of cars made in Italy”.
Car table: from government, unions and Stellantis green light to return to 1 million vehicles produced by Diego Longhin 06 December 2023
The highest contributions go to electric cars. Those who do not have vehicles to scrap can count on a contribution of 6 thousand euros. With ISEE under 30 thousand the incentive rises to 7,500 euros. Anyone who scraps a Euro 3 can count on a 10,000 euro discount, which can reach 12,500 based on income. Same mechanisms for plug-in hybrids, while for thermals the contribution is only available if it is scrapped and there are no extras based on income. They range from a minimum of 1,500 euros to a maximum of 3 thousand euros.
How many funds will be available? There will be 610 million, to which we must add the 320 million left over from 2023. The incentives designed by the Draghi government to buy electric and plug-in hybrid cars have not been successful, due to the excessively high prices of the cars. Will the strengthened incentives of the Meloni government serve to encourage the registration of cars on tap in Italy? “It’s an experiment – replies Urso – if the new bonuses reverse the trend we will have to take note of it and shift resources to productive investment plans”.
The EU car market slows down, Germany weighs by Diego Longhin 20 December 2023
Contributions that should support registrations. Sales in Europe are slowing: the market, after thirteen months of double-digit growth, rose by only 6% in November. The slowdown in Germany (-5.7%) is taking its toll precisely due to the stop to incentives with a collapse in sales of electric vehicles (-22.5%) and plug-in hybrids (-59.3%). And in Italy the “pure” electric market is just over 4%.
