There are investments of about 11 billion in the new industrial plan of Ferrovie dello Stato which will be ready towards the end of the month.
The announcement comes from the managing director of the group Mauro Moretti. "In the next few days – he said – we will present a plan with a self-financing investment programme, with 2,1-2,2 billion a year over a period of 5 years, for a total of 11 billion". The investments will be used to purchase rolling stock, while another 3 billion a year will come from the State through the program contract.
In addition there are another 500 million allocated by the Government for buses and trains, 200 million for the latter. “They are already a trend reversal – declared Moretti – but it is not sufficient to respond to the problems that commuters have. Firms must ensure maximum productivity and industrial efficiency – observed Moretti – in using resources but resources are needed so that things can be placed at the level of demand”.
