Minister of Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichettohe came back to talk about electric cars during Mase’s sustainable mobility initiative as part of European Mobility Week. The minister reiterated a position that the government has expressed several times recently, once again highlighting doubts about European policy in the automotive sector.
Thus, the minister emphasized that electricity is the main path for the transport of the future, but for Italy it cannot be the only one.
We believe in electricity as a great way to power the future of mobility, chief among them. However, for Italy it cannot be the only one. We will continue to fight in Europe for “automotive” regulation so that electricity, which is currently not available to everyone, becomes a real possibility, and not a limit, not a dogma with no alternatives.
So, electric yesBut it shouldn’t be a dogma with no alternatives. The minister then adds that “there cannot be a mobility that a priori keeps production chains at a distance, such as the strong and successful Italian chain for endothermic“It is for this reason,” emphasizes Gilberto Pichetto, that Italy can be one of the best in Europe in the development of e-fuels, although it is already the best in the field of modern biofuels.
Moreover, we are well aware of how much pressure our country puts on the European Union to include biofuels in the environmental transition. In any case, the topic is for the minister sustainable travel it is a mission that involves everyone’s responsibility.
The theme of sustainable travel is a mission that touches on the responsibility of everyone and that starts with the great European goals of decarbonization and “descends” into the depths of the socio-economic structure of the country where the demand for mobility arises.
It is for this reason that the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security is committed to spread the culture of “sharing” and the use of collective transport., to promote low- and zero-emission vehicles for cycling mobility. In this regard, the Minister mentions the Home-School-Work-from-Home pilot program, under which the Ministry is co-financing 80 local mobility projects worth $75 million, an incentive program worth more than $16 million called PRiMUS, which also includes, among other activities includes the creation of 42 km of new cycle paths and a sustainable funding program for school transport that will enable beneficiary municipalities to purchase 81 electric school buses.
Finally, Gilberto Pichetto adds that we are working on a decree on “approve financing of projects for lanes reserved for public transport in relation to centers with a population of more than fifty thousand people with a violation of public orderThe Minister also recalled the investments made in the PNRR for mobility on small islands and the commitment to create charging stations in city centers and on highways.
