Ferrari Steps In To Help Fight Against Coronavirus

The Agnelli family, original founders of Fiat and current owners of Ferrari, are now working with the Italian Civil Protection Department to support the Italian national health service. The family has provided a 10 million euro (about $10.6 million) donation, which will go towards helping to respond to the local health and social needs in the city of Turin and Piedmont. In addition to the financial donation, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ferrari, and CNH Industrial have teamed up with outside companies Ermenegildo Zegna and Pesenti Group to purchase a total of 150 ventilators and other medical equipment.

Leasys (FCA Bank) has also provided the Italian Red Cross and ANPAS (the Italian National Association for Public Assistance) with a fleet of vehicles to distribute food and medicine across Italy. In times of crisis, it is great to see companies like Ferrari step up to help people in need. In the US,Honda has agreed to pay its employeesduring plant closures and Genesis will pay up to six months of payments. No one knows when things will go back to normal but with the help of large corporations, we can fight the virus.
