October 18, 2011
ECGs (The Association of European Vehicle Logistics) has exhorted the European governments to introduce the incentives for destruction of the cars in order to avoid that the field of the logistics that work to service of the automotive industry is devastated by a new economic crisis. In the course of its participation to the conference anniversary of the association, held friday slid to Paris, the president of ECGs, Costantino Baldissara, has emphasized that the consequences of a new recession would be disastrous not only for operators of the logistics, but also for the automotive industry, that it gives job directly and indirectly to 12,6 million people in Europe.
"If not there is a serious one and concerted action plan in order to face the problems of the sovereign debit that are manifesting in Europe and in order to block the contagion that is diffused between the banks - Baldissara has explained - then simply the expense of the consumers will be arrested. And this would be disastrous. Many of our associates, that they are already fighting in order to obtain a profit, would be in great difficulty in having to put up with another crisis".
"After Lehman Brothers - it has added the president of ECGs - from a day to the other the ability to transport of car of our field is cut of 20%. By then the margins so they are compressed that our associates have not had neither the money neither the desire to invest in renew of the fleet. Since the investments are reduced and the fleet ages, there is the risk that the producers are found to tackle to a determined resumption without the possibility to carry their cars to the markets".
