The “horribilis” year of the ecological car

Editorials

2016 was a terrible year for ecological cars in Italy. Sales for diesel cars increased +19% (covering 57% of the market share).

Regular petrol cars were registered a +22% (33% of the total market) while the alternative fuel cars diminished by –12,1% (10% of the market share). How can we change car driver’s minds? With economic incentives: a governmental incentive on one side, and decreased fuel costs on the other. And what about 2017? The market for alternative fuel cars registers a growth: an 171.664 new car matriculation, an increase of +10,1% compared to the same period in 2016, with an increase for LPG cars of + 31% in just January alone.

We hope this trend continues to be a favorable one for low impact cars, such as the gas ones which have been the subject of a very important initiative sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment called “ICBI Convention”. This initiative, that has been active for years now for the conversion of vehicles to LPG and methane, is now developing a program of measures to reduce pollutant emissions that will be submitted to the Minister.
