The government intends to resume supporting the purchase of zero-emission vehicles in 2027. This plan is included in the proposed State Budget for next year, but details of the program remain unknown, as it ran out of funding just hours after being proposed in the previous edition.

"By 2027, decarbonization in the transport sector will be strengthened through measures that promote sustainable mobility, public transportation, and the electrification of vehicles, including the provision of new incentives for purchasing zero-emission vehicles," reads the proposed state budget for 2027.

Support without a defined timeline or funding

While confirming the intention to introduce new incentives, the document does not specify when they will be available, what amount will be allocated, or which vehicles and buyers will benefit from these measures.

The lack of information leaves the details of the next program unclear for now. In the previous edition released in June, the 10 million euros allocated to support electric car purchases were exhausted within hours.

The government also plans to draw on the Modernization Fund to finance decarbonization measures for freight transport and the public administration fleet.
