In recent years, synergies between civil and defence industries have become a central element in European security policies.
The evolution of the international scenario has highlighted the need to integrate civil infrastructure and private production capacities into defence plans, going beyond the traditional boundaries of the military sector.
The automotive industry stands out as a strategic partner thanks to its large-scale production capacity, advanced engineering expertise and depth of supply chain. These characteristics make it essential for supporting increased production of defence systems and promoting European operational readiness.
The convergence between automotive and defence represents a concrete response to the new requirements of strategic autonomy, industrial resilience and competitiveness. In Italy, this collaboration offers opportunities for industrial revitalisation and skills enhancement, contributing to the strengthening of the national production base and the protection of employment.
The integration between the two sectors is supported by European initiatives that promote the reuse of civilian production lines and the mobilisation of underutilised industrial assets, with the aim of ensuring greater responsiveness in crisis situations and reducing dependence on external suppliers.
