Italy advances eco‑driving tips and corporate car tax reforms to curb emissions

Guidelines for reducing fuel consumption emphasize eco‑driving techniques such as smooth acceleration, maintaining steady speeds, proper tyre pressure, and regular vehicle maintenance. These practices aim to lower fuel use for cars and motorcycles across urban and highway driving, offering measurable cost savings while preserving safety and comfort.

At the policy level, the Italian government’s Decreto Omnibus, currently under parliamentary review, proposes tax treatment for company cars based on engine size rather than actual emissions. Industry representatives from the Union Energia per la Mobilità argue that the decree should reward real reductions in greenhouse‑gas output and recognise renewable fuels, warning that the current approach could impose heavy fiscal burdens on employees and hinder the transition to cleaner mobility.

Both the practical advice and the tax debate target the same goal: decreasing the environmental impact of road transport in Italy.
