The vast majority of the companies operating within this industry (an estimated 93% according to the aforementioned report) will be able to <strong>reconvert workforce skills and resources and channel them towards new lines of production<\/strong>, to jump on the electric engines wagon. The remaining 7%, which includes companies specifically and uniquely engaged in the production of components that can only be used in traditional engines, will find it harder to adapt.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_large squared\" href=\"https:\/\/www.milanvenue.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #dd9933\" >Find the perfect venue for your corporate event in Italy!<\/a>\n<h3>Innovation is the key<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5019\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Italian-automotive-industry-electric-tesla-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Italian automotive industry electric tesla\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>The Italian automotive industry, it has to be acknowledged, has withstood major technological revolutions in the past and survived admirably, thanks to its ability to acknowledge and embrace innovation. The more seamless the transition to new technologies within the same industry, after all, the lower the risk of increasing unemployment as a consequence of technological advancements. <strong>Investing in research<\/strong>, therefore, <strong>is crucial to any industry\u2019s ability to stay relevant through the years<\/strong>. This is particularly true of the automotive industry, which is currently undergoing a substantial and fast-paced transformation. The number of electric cars sold in Europe has increased by nearly 50% from 2016 to 2017, while <strong>half the new non-electric cars sold last year where hybrid<\/strong>. The European regulations sanctioning the progressive dismissal of diesel engines undeniably had an impact on these trends, as public policies in individual member states were adjusted accordingly.<\/p>\n<h3>How is the Italian automotive industry coping with change?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5018\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.smarteventi.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/Italian-automotive-industry-electric-ferrari-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Italian automotive industry electric ferrari\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>Italian automotive companies have not been sitting on their hands in this respect: 18,5% have been involved in <strong>projects and training programs focusing on alternative energies, electric or hybrid engines and fuel cell powertrains<\/strong>. This does not mean, of course, that the full switch to electric vehicles is close to happening in Europe, not by a long stretch: steep prices and scarce infrastructure are still a major obstacle and, so far, the impact of brands such as Tesla on the European market has been negligible. It would be short-sighted, however to ignore that this is likely to be the future evolution of\u00a0the automotive\u00a0market. This second decade of the XXI century is, therefore, one of the pivotal moments in which whole industries and individual companies will determine their future relevance by deciding to stick to their old ways \u2013 and therefore become obsolete once the market changes \u2013 or explore, embrace and try to keep abreast of technological innovation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"mks_button mks_button_large squared\" href=\"https:\/\/en.smarteventi.it\/contact_us.html\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #dd9933\" >Want to do business in Italy?
