Rome, Sep 19 (EFE).- Emma Bonino, 72, leader of Più Europa, defends the no in the referendum that will be held on September 20 and 21, that the proposed cut of parliamentarians is a populist strategy. On the contrary, Public Administration Minister Fabiana Dadone, 36, from the Five Star Movement, sees it as an opportunity to lighten the work of Parliament and cut costs. Italians will vote on whether to modify the Constitution to reduce the number of parliamentarians from 945 to 600. The Chamber of Deputies would have 400 members instead of the current 630 and the Senate would have 200 senators instead of the current 315.SOUNDBITES OF PIÙ EUROPA CAMPAIGN.
Starting 2026, all newly developed vans from Mercedes-Benz will be based on just one single innovative, modular and scalable architecture called VAN.EA, short for Van Electric Architecture. According to the “electric-only” strategy, VAN.EA has been developed from scratch as a purpose battery electric vehicle (BEV).All future midsize and large vans will be built on it, both commercial and private. Whether in commercial use as a versatile premium all-rounder or as a private luxury van: VAN.EA-based vehicles will focus on added value for the customers and their individual needs.With the VAN.EA one architecture strategy, Mercedes‑Benz Vans will achieve a comprehensive complexity reduction in its purpose-built EV product portfolio translating into significant economies of scale. It is planned to reduce the portfolio variants by more than 50% compared to current vans with an internal combustion engine (ICE) while covering the same use cases for the customers.
