Italy plans a subsidy scheme worth almost 1.0 billion euros ($1.1 billion) in 2024 to support car purchases and the transition to less polluting vehicles, an industry ministry official said on Thursday.
The outlay is part of a wider multi-year program, worth over 8 billion euros, that Italy announced in 2022, to support its carmaking industry.
