Today, Wednesday 25 May, with the opening of the online platform, the motorcycle incentives are officially activated. Reflections from the starting blocks, given that probably, at least this year, it will be a very rapid sprint. When not everything is clear and “accessible” yet, we talk about it with Paolo Magri, President of ANCMA
May 25, 2022
P.aolo Magri is the flag of the recovery and relaunch of ANCMAas well as the autograph at the bottom of the management of EICMA in a very difficult moment. President elected loudly by the plebiscite and in the third season of office, he has faced and crossed with a lineup of champions one of the most difficult times of our history, not only of passionate motorcyclists.
Rolling up your sleeves, he sank his arms and teeth into the mud, dug, cleaned up, and gave the Builders’ Association a solid new foundation. The first fruit of the reinvigorated oak trunk is the solid success of an unlikely Salone staged in unlikely times.
Of course in the meantime the “Front” of perturbationsinstead of shrinking, it has expanded. There is the stupidest of wars, so stupid that it risks becoming fatal to humanity, and in any case certainly extremely harmful to its health, and there is the infinite persistence, now in the phase of apparent tail effect, of the scourge of the pandemic. One trouble after another held together by the evil secretions of events that have resulted in crises, hardships, impoverishment and disintegration of the social structure and of the single or collective units that compose it.
Paolo Magri
C.i like Motorcyclesis one of our passions, and incentives arrive. For a moment we are distracted from a favorable, happy perspective. Discounts, refunds, invitation to electric, the possibility of renewing our petrol motorbike.
Once the initial enthusiasm has passed, the march begins thicket of bureaucracy and regulations, of the rules for obtaining them. It is not really a jungle but the bush is also tangled, and the advance towards the result is littered with obstacles and unknowns.
The Government has allocated 15 million to invite to the electricAnd 10 to renew the endothermic. For this year, but the program is three years. A first filter inevitably comes from the total budget made available to citizens, a second from the roof of opportunity, a third from the conditions. The 15 and ten million, the first, from 2,500 to 4,000 euros per dossierthe second, a scrapping in case of petrol and six months for close the deal, among the relevant items of the third filter. It starts publicly with the opening of the portal on May 25and arriving at the moment of the final click is not like registering on Ruetir …
C.whatever it is, the Motorcycle Incentives phenomenon derives from the Auto Incentives model and fits into a difficult situation. The motorcycle market, unlike the car market, pullsand various types of flu, among that asianThey make that there are not enough motorbikes in the windows of dealers and in the warehouses of importers.
Long times and uncertainty, but deposit required anyway and almost everywhere. Enthusiasts wonder if they will make it, the Dealers if that was the case (also considering that for to unlock the operation is required to intervene with one 5% discount, even with empty halls). Also from Industrywhich should be one of the default beneficiaries, there were no manifestations of particular enthusiasm.
Those who build here with us suffer the slowdowns caused by various impasses by now known, and perhaps abused or taken as a pretext: from the cost of transport to the chip crisis, from the uncertainty of unstable borders to the immoderate increase in the price of fuels. Many beautiful surprises that slow down or make supplies intermittent and, therefore, the completion of pieces on assembly lines.
And this is the reason why, we fourteen year olds with the high fever for the “almost given” Motorcycle, we agitate in search of answers to accelerate the… haste. And for this we go back to Paolo Magrito have from the experience and the tested matrix of the character that we respect and trust blindly, incidentally Red Helmet by territorial genetic code and passion, if not answers, which are still impossible, at least a more precise orientation on what will happen.
A thousand thanks!
