Overview

• Registrations reached 126,679 in September, up 4.1% year over year and ending four consecutive monthly declines, which UNRAE linked to an extra working day and a weak comparator.
• January–September totals fell 2.9% to 1,167,437 registrations and remain about 20.5% below 2019 volumes, underscoring a structurally weak market.
• Electrified models gained share in the month with BEV at 5.6%, PHEV at 8.7% and rechargeables at 14.3%, yet Italy’s EV uptake trails EU peers such as France (19.4%) and Germany (19.1%) in August.
• Private buyers’ share slid to 55.9% while long‑term rental rose to 22.7%, as petrol and diesel receded and average CO2 emissions dropped to 110.1 g/km, down 6.3% from a year earlier.
• At the Turin motor show, UNRAE and other associations sent a joint letter pressing for stable incentives and faster charging rollout, with a new government EV incentive window scheduled for 15 October.
