The car industry is one of the pillars of the Italian and European economic system and at present it is undergoing a profound change process. Indeed, the mobility sector accounts for 19% of greenhouse gas emissions overall, the vast majority of which is represented by car emissions. Hence the urgency, also with a view to meeting the time limits set by the European Union calendar, to transform cars into an increasingly sustainable and innovative product capable of meeting the needs of mature consumers who are sensitive to the protection of the planet they live in.
The transformation will not be easy or painless but the Italian automotive supply chain, with the support of the competencies and resources of the IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division, can seize the opportunities offered by this challenge to improve its competitive structure. Fabio Matti, Head of Industry Automotive & Industrials, and Fabiola Delfino, Corporate Banker Industry Automotive & Industrials of the IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division, analyse the metamorphosis and prospects of a key industrial sector.
