December 11, 2025. Mariarosa Baroni, President of NGV Italy, stated that the decree from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT), allocating €590 million over five years to renew the commercial vehicle fleets of road transport and logistics companies, “is a significant public contribution that comes at a crucial time for the sector, on the eve of the European Commission’s proposal to revise the Automotive Green Deal.” In this regard, the executive added that they expect a finally pragmatic and technologically neutral approach that overcomes the ideological rigidities of the past.
The President of NGV Italy continued: “Now we need to foster a high level of collaboration with all stakeholders, establishing a dedicated forum that includes not only the trade associations meeting on December 16th, but also the leading automotive and energy industry associations. This will allow us to implement a truly effective mechanism capable of providing concrete support to road transport companies in the technological modernization of their fleets.”
In conclusion, Baroni outlined some strategic priorities for the new measure: “It is necessary to agree on a resource allocation that adequately incentivizes all technologies, particularly those most in demand by the market—diesel and biodiesel, C-LNG and Bio-C-LNG, as well as electric vehicles—in accordance with the principle of technological neutrality. We must also jointly discuss a new reimbursement system for companies that is more efficient and fairer than the current one: it is unacceptable that road transport companies have to wait up to three years to receive reimbursement of the MIT incentive.”
