“In 2021, a package of European reforms was presented Suitable for 55 years oldcontaining the EU strategy to achieve, through twelve major directives, a reduction in carbon emissions in the European Union by at least 55% by 2030, with the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050, and one of the directions is focused on the topic of mobility,” he commented Elisabetta Vianello, group president. “Given national vehicle fleet data and the still significant cost of all-electric vehicles, even assuming truly significant subsidy efforts along with economic recovery, the internal combustion engine will still be important in the years beyond 2035.

Our mission is to set ourselves on a path of growth and make a positive impact that can engage and benefit everyone.”
