ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The UNRAE Study and Statistics Centre – on the basis of the registration data provided by the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transport (MIT) – carried out an estimate of the market of vehicles towed for the month of October 2025 compared to the same month of 2024. Trailers and semitrailers with total ground mass exceeding 3.5 tonnes: October 2025 vs 2024: +12,4% (1,350 units registered to 1.201) The trailer and semi-trailer market is confirmed in positive ground in October, with registrations showing an increase of 12.4% compared to the same month of 2024. In the first ten months of the current year, the total registrations reach 12.945 units, with a surplus of 13.4% compared to 11.419 of the same period of 2024 and an increase of volumes of more than 1,500 units.
“The October market confirms a positive trend and allows for a closure of the growing year, even in a context still characterized by signs of uncertainty”, commented Michele Mastagni, Coordinator of the Rimorchi Group, Semirimorchi e Allestimenti di UNRAE. “We now expect that the Investment Fund for incentives for renewal of the park – whose Decree was published last month in the Official Journal – will become fully operational. We hope for a rapid publication of the Actual Decree, which clearly defines the timing and opening of instances.”.
UNRAE reiterates that the resources currently allocated, of € 3.8 million, are insufficient to renew a circular park with an average age of 17,5 years. While welcoming positively the indication present in the supplementary notes to the Draft Law of Budget, which previews a multiannual fund of 590 million euros in favor of investments of the road haulage in the period 2027-2031, it is urgent to define the mode of use of the further allocation of 6 million euros already previewed from the Government for 2025.
“We feel no longer procrastinable – Mastagni concludes – the resolution of the normative vulnus that still today prevents the circulation of vehicular complexes in Italy with a length of 18.75 meters. A situation that has lasted for more than four years, i.e. since Law No. 156/2021 has amended Art. 61 of the Road Code, aligning the maximum length of self-taught to European law. However, the requirement for suitability of vehicles drawn to the other limits provided for in the implementing Regulation of the Code does not, in fact, permit the free movement of such complexes. This leads to technological delay and enormous inefficiencies in freight transport in Italy compared to other European countries. It is essential to intervene quickly to remove an anacronistic and harmful obstacle for the competitiveness of the entire national logistic system”.
