You got it right, said 'Vasco', today you can....anzi, today you must!
The so-called Retrofit mechanism is finally law. Since 26 January 2016, the regulation governing the electric retrofitting of conventional vehicles has been in force, and it is important to point out that Italy was the first country in Europe to regulate this.
The regulation, dated 1 December 2015, No. 219 'Electric retrofit system, intended to equip vehicles of categories M and N1', was published in the Official Gazette on 11 January and sets out the technical and administrative procedures that will allow people to type-approve their cars through so-called 'electric retrofit systems'.
'Italy is awake', thanks to the commitment of institutions, politics, the Ministry of Transport and all those who believed in it, a utopia has become reality.
The Hon. Ivan CATALANO (Misto), a true catalyst for the legislation, declared: 'For over two years now in parliament and at the Ministry of Transport I have been working on the development of electric vehicle retrofits. After approved amendments, motions, and resolutions, but above all after the Minister's decree on the subject drafted by the civil motorisation, we now have the first Italian company, Newtron, accredited to the electric retrofitting of vehicles. It is an achievement that fills me with satisfaction and pride. The work does not end here. In September I will present an aggregation project of companies for the market. It is a project that I gladly donate and it has cost me and my staff two years of work and research. I will make it available to those who want to join it."
The Newtron group present in Rome, Milan, Turin and Messina is already operational, you can see the first electric vehicle retrofitting systems online at www.kitnewtron.it.
