Milan, July 30 2020 – The notice has been published to access the contributions intended for companies, the third sector and VAT holders who want to replace or purchase new vehicles with low environmental impact with the aim of renewing the fleet of vehicles in circulation and therefore containing polluting emissions and congestion in the city. A contribution with the same purposes has already been made available to private individuals in recent weeks. 

"We give concrete help to businesses, third sector entities, VAT numbers and artisans, who use motor vehicles for their work, supporting those who move around the city and choose to use less polluting means - declares Marco Granelli, councilor for Mobility -. But we also help our city to have better air quality. Incentives are one of the paths we are taking to facilitate the replacement of the fleet of vehicles circulating in Milan. Replacing an old diesel, buying a van, a truck, or even a car, a scooter or an electric bike will be easier and less expensive."

The contributions are available starting from Thursday 30 July, and no later than 30 November 2020, until the available funds are exhausted, approximately 7 million euros; it is possible to submit an application for vehicles purchased starting from May 4th. All incentives will be paid out only once for up to five vehicles of your choice for each company.

The incentives are intended for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises with registered office and operational headquarters in Milan, for artisan businesses with registered office/local unit in Milan and/or a license to carry out sales activities in public areas issued by the Municipality of Milan, to self-employed workers with a VAT number resident in Milan, to third sector bodies with registered and operational headquarters in Milan.

Companies can access discounts to purchase up to five commercial vehicles or vehicles for the transport of people, from vans to trucks and from cars to buses, electric, hybrid, methane, LPG, Euro 6 petrol and also Euro VI diesel but only for larger trucks and coaches (N2, N3 and M3). For example, in the case of replacing a van the contribution is between 5.500 and 18.000 euros depending on the category and in the case of a truck the contribution reaches up to 21.000 euros. Contributions are also provided for the purchase of hybrid or electric powered scooters and cargobikes. 

The concessions for companies are granted to subjects who at the same time will demolish a vehicle of categories N1, N2, N3, M1, M2 and M3 powered by petrol up to and including Euro 2/II or diesel up to and including Euro 5/V , or a two-stroke motor vehicle or moped (classified as category L) up to Euro 2 or powered by diesel up to Euro 2 or powered by four-stroke petrol Euro 0, 1.
