The Government has decided to allocate 420 million euros. 120 million will go to cars with emissions between 0 and 60 g / km of CO2. 250 million, on the other hand, will be used to offer a bonus for the purchase of vehicles with emissions between 61 and 135 g / km of CO2. The government has also decided to allocate 50 million euros to be allocated to incentives for light commercial vehicles. Let’s go into more detail now.
Regarding electric and plug-ins nothing changes compared to the past. The obligatory contribution from the concessionaire continues to be envisaged. The new funds can be used throughout 2021. In the event of premature exhaustion, the “old” Ecobonus will return. To summarize, here is the incentive scheme for cars with 0-60 g / km CO2 emissions valid from 1st January 2021.
- Auto 0-20 g / km CO2: with scrapping 8,000 euros of bonus + 2,000 euros of concessionary contribution
- Auto 0-20 g / km of CO2: without scrapping 5,000 euros bonus + 1,000 concessionary contribution
- Car 21-60 g / km of CO2: with scrapping € 4,500 bonus + € 2,000 concessionary contribution
- Car 21-60 g / km of CO2: without scrapping 2,500 euros of bonus + 1,000 euros of concessionary contribution
Let us now move on to cars with emissions of 61-135 g / km of C02. Here are two substantial changes. The first is that the upper limit has been moved to 135 g / km as it is now referred to to the WLTP cycle and no longer to the NEDC one. The second is that the incentive will be paid only in case of scrapping. Nothing to do if you don’t have a vehicle to be scrapped. This incentive will last for 6 months until 30 June 2021, subject to early exhaustion of the fund. Here is the scheme:
- Auto 61-135 g / km of CO2: with scrapping € 1,500 bonus + € 2,000 concessionary contribution.
With 2021 upon us and given the uncertainties on the health front that are leading to new limitations, the new incentives repeatedly requested by industry associations will be important to help the auto market move forward and try to recover. These new incentives will be incorporated within the 2021 Budget Law whose approval is expected shortly.
