Diesel and petrol cars are decreasing, hybrid and electric cars are increasing

In 2025, the fleet in circulation in Italy will improve, diesel and petrol will decline, hybrid and electric vehicles will grow.

Also in the first half of 2026, the share of sales of hybrid cars increased, compared to the same period of 2025, from 44.4% to 49.7%, of plug-in electric ones from 5.3% to 9% and battery-powered ones from 5.2% to 8.4% (overall they reached 17.4%).

Sales of petrol cars fell from 26% to 19.7% and of diesel ones, from 10% to 6.8%.

This is supported by the report for the States General of the Green Economy, organized by the Edo Ronchi Sustainable Development Foundation at the Ecomondo fair in Rimini.

Between 2015 and 2025 the National Transport Fund, which finances local and regional public transport, nominally grew by only 6%, but in real terms it fell by 13.5% in 2025, so as to be 660 million less than in 2015.
