Six out of ten cars in Italy are eight years old or older. And the average age of an Italian car, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), is on the rise: 12 years and eight months in 2023, up from 11 years in 2018. At the tail end of the Peninsula in terms of car fleet age is the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani with 80.4% “old” cars. Among metropolitan areas, however, the worst are Catania (78.9%) and Naples (77.7%). The Islands are also bad: more than seven out of ten cars (75.5%) are dated. At the antipodes, however, are three Tuscan provinces: Prato (53.3%), Florence (56%) and Pisa (56.5%) have the lowest share of cars registered at least eight years ago. In addition, after the Tuscan capital, there is the metropolitan city of Milan (56.6%). Higher seniority corresponds to higher polluting capacity. There are still few electric cars in Italy. Bolzano leads the national ranking with 13 electric cars per 1,000 registered, followed by Trento with 10.4 and Aosta with 9.5 vehicles.
