It is therefore more urgent than ever to refinance the depleted fund so as not to slow down the growth of a sector already heavily hit, in recent months, by the Covid-19 emergency “.
They remain still to be exploited 110 million euro of icar incentives for vehicles falling within the 61-90 grams / km of CO2 and a half range (hybrids) and 45 million euros for vehicles at 0.60 (electric and plug-in cars).
