Representatives of the automotive industry in Italy’s Molise and Abruzzo regions have submitted a formal request to the Ministry of Economic Development (MIMIT) asking for the areas to be designated as a “complex crisis zone.”
The applications outline priority intervention lines, focusing on financial support, supply chain stabilization, and workforce training. They also highlight the need for targeted tax relief and infrastructure investment to mitigate the downturn affecting local manufacturers.
Industry leaders argue that the combined impact of reduced demand, rising raw‑material costs, and limited access to credit has pushed the regional automotive sector into a severe, prolonged crisis. They urge MIMIT to act swiftly to prevent further job losses and plant closures.
