ANFIA publishes four types of press releases on a monthly basis:
- Italian Car Market: provides commentary on the processing of data relating to vehicle registrations in Italy issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport every first working day of the month at 6.00 p.m.
- European Car Market: provides commentary on the processing of data relating to car registrations in Europe released by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) around the middle of each month, according to the ACEA calendar
- Automotive Industry Production in Italy: provides information on the automotive industry (motor vehicles and their engines - car bodies, trailers and semi-trailers - parts and accessories for motor vehicles), with production, turnover and order indexes compared to those of industrial output as a whole. This is provided at the time of the monthly publication of ISTAT data relating to industrial production in Italy (see ISTAT calendar). In addition to ISTAT surveys, preliminary data collected by ANFIA from manufacturing companies are communicated and commented on.
- Markets for industrial vehicles, buses and towed vehicles: this section publishes and comments on the data regarding new registrations of industrial vehicles (trucks and buses) and towed vehicles held in the Archives of Vehicles of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, which is updated with data from the issuing of registration certificates.
In order to give precise and definitive information on the market, ANFIA chooses to process data based on the dates of issue of registration certificates. The adoption of this criterion avoids market estimates generated by data being read according to the date of issue of the number plates, whose registration is delayed in the archive by 3-4 months.
The data processed by ANFIA are the latest data on the Italian market published by ACEA for the EU28+EFTA countries.
