money.it (Italian)

A new law allows the scrapping of vehicles under administrative seizure, ending a long-standing prohibition. This change, effective February 20, 2026, aims to reduce environmental pollution from unusable vehicles. However, owners cannot receive new car purchase incentives. Owners must obtain an "unusable" certificate and use authorized disposal centers. Failure to comply can result in fines ranging from €1,000 to €10,000.
