Electric vehicles not the only way to meet CO2 targets, Italy car lobby says
Electric vehicles are not the only effective route to reducing carbon emissions produced by the car industry, the head of Italy’s automotive lobby said on Tuesday. Other technologies could help to decarbonise the industry, meeting the same targets on emissions while preserving know-how and jobs in Italy, said Paolo Scudieri, the chairman of automotive industry association ANFIA. “I refer to the tangible contribution that biofuels and synthetic fuels, as well as hydrogen, can provide,” Scudieri said opening ANFIA’s public assembly, adding the Italian automotive industry was already making huge investments on hydrogen.
