The Italian case is a global benchmark for CNG development Italy is considered as a best practice in Europe and in the world for the development of CNG as an alternative fuel FCA and CNHi were chosen as partners of reference by the Israeli Government for the development in Israel of gas-based alternative fuel program FCA is the first OEM which produced a CNG technology for the pick up truck market in the USA FCA and CNHi are cooperating with Engie for the development of CNG in the transportation field in Belgium, France and Romania FCA and GRDF are cooperating for the development of CNG in the automotive field in France In Italy, also within the DAFI framework, FCA and CNHi are promoting a second wave of CNG development

CNG: Economy and Environment Lower costs for consumers / citizens, leading to the reinvestment of savings in the economy Real emission improvement in the medium term, resulting in better air quality CNG Positive impact on GDP thanks to: 1. Re-investment of consumers savings; 2. Production at national level of components / technologies related to CNG; 3. Promotion and enhancement of national know how and technological resources of excellence DAFI Timeline 2014 Directive Completed Planned 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2022-25 National Plans for Alternative Fuels Infrastructures (Nov. 2016) National plan implementation Building of Infrastructure..2020-2025 Building of CNG and LNG infrastructures in TEN-T Network National implementations of Directive Alternative Fuels Infrastructures
