the Association of European Vehicle prompt Logistics the reintroduzione of the incentives to destruction



From many months the Association of European Vehicle Logistics (ECGs), the European organization that represents the logistic companies that take care of the transport of motors vehicle, periodically throws again an alarm for the crisis crossed from the field and the European automotive industry. But that launch last week from the association in occasion of own assembly anniversary and the Spring conference, held thursday and slid fridays to Dublino, is not a new a real one, but danger signal deprived of hope appeal for survival.

"Many companies - the president of ECGs has declared, Costantino Baldissara - are fighting in order to survive. This is an emergency situation". Emphasizing that the European political class has the responsibility to place attention to the real economy, Baldissara has explained that "without an answer hard not there will be hope, no new place of work and no activity".

The association has confirmed that the European automotive industry is slipping more and more in a deep recession and more and more is dependent on the export markets. The production of light motor vehicles in Europe is come down newly under to the levels of 2007 and in Italy the crisis is particularly serious: the registrations of new cars in Italy are come down to the level of 1978. Moreover a third party of all the European automotive plants are only taking advantage of 20% of the productive ability and, if some constructors are still in profit - he has specified ECGs - this have happened alone thanks to the strong orders to out of Europe, in particular in China, where the sales are increased of beyond 10 million between 2008 and 2012.

According to the association, it is necessary to introduce the incentives to destruction, that they have stimulated with success the question in 2009. "If we are worried for the economies of nations as Greece - it has found Baldissara - then we would have to be worried also for the automotive field, that it gives a contribution to greater the European economy regarding that of Greece". ECGs has remembered that the automotive industry is one of the main economic engines of Europe, appoints to a job about 12 million people and contributes to about 16% of the Gross Domestic Product one of the European Union. In this within, the associated companies to ECGs occupy 70,000 people directly and anticipate turnover aggregate of 22 billion euros.

In the course of the assembly the associates of ECGs have elected the new directive council of the association, than now Massimiliano Altmann (ARS Altmann is composed of), Peter Borrmann (STVA), Michael Bünning (BLG Logistics Automobile), Marcos Duato (Flota Suardiaz), Mats Eriksson (AB Skandiatransport), Ömer Gürsoy (Me-Par), Ray MacDowall (ECM Vehicle Delivery Service), Marek Nowicki (PW Wega A), Kirill Petrunkin (Autotechnoimport), Antoine Redier (GEFCO), Roberto Volpato (Eliambrosetti) and Konrad Zwirner (Hödlmayr International). The mandates of the president president Baldissara and the vice president Wolfgang Göbel still have a duration year.
