The incentives

 The automotive fund for the purchase of vehicles with low CO2 emissions was refinanced with 350 million euros set aside by the conversion law of the Sostegni bis decree. Compared to the past, the main change concerns the allocation of 40 million euros dedicated to used cars, petrol or diesel, of a Euro class of no less than 6 and emissions of up to 160 g / km of CO2. To access this incentive, which will become operational after the necessary technical modifications of the platform, it will be necessary to scrap a car registered before January 2011, or that has reached ten years in the period in which the eco-bonus is requested.

In detail, the 350 million euros that refinance the automotive fund are divided as follows: 200 million to purchase, exclusively with scrapping, vehicles with emissions between 61-135 g / km CO2. The contribution is 1,500 euros; 60 million to obtain the extra bonus and purchase vehicles with emissions between 0-60 g / km CO2. The contribution amounts to € 2,000 with scrapping and € 1,000 without. And again: 50 million for the purchase of commercial and special vehicles, of which 15 million exclusively for electric vehicles. Among the novelties of the Sostegni bis decree there is the possibility of purchasing this type of vehicle with financial leasing, already starting from 25 July 2021. The contributions provided for by the 2021 Budget Law remain unchanged and can therefore be booked on the basis of the "Total Ground Mass - MTT"and power. Finally, 40 million for the purchase of used M1 category vehicles, of a Euro class of no less than 6 and emissions of up to 160 g / km of CO2. A contribution of up to 2,000 euros is recognized, calculated on the basis of the issue band. To take advantage of the contribution, another older vehicle must be scrapped.
