The measure remains valid until June 30, 2021, unless funds run out. It is important to note that in the text there is no express reference to electrified engines, therefore the incentives are technically valid not only for full hybrid or mild hybrid cars, but also with traditional petrol and diesel engines, as long as they have a low environmental impact. Support for cars with emissions below 61 g / km has also been reformulated. Cars in the range between 0 and 20 g / km of CO2 enjoy an incentive of 8,000 euros, in addition to the 2,000 euros contribution from the dealership: all this in the event of scrapping a car with at least 10 years old. In the absence of scrapping, the bonus drops to 5,000 euros plus 1,000 of the concessionaire’s contribution. For cars with emissions between 21 and 60 g / km of CO2, typically plug-in hybrids, the bonus is € 4,500 plus 2,000 of the concessionaire’s contribution in case of scrapping, 2,500 plus 1,000 in case of non-scrapping.
