Who and which vehicles the Alto Adige contribution covers

Who can receive the contribution

Private individuals are among the beneficiaries of the contribution. Beneficiaries and any co-holders of the vehicle must have their residence or seat in the province of Bolzano on the date of the application and keep it for the whole period of the obligation of article 11(1). Residence or seat in the province of Bolzano must be kept for at least two years from the date of issue of the invoice. The beneficiaries undertake not to sell or rent the subsidised vehicle before two years from the date of the expense document.

If the vehicle is co-owned, the beneficiary must be the person registered as the owner of the vehicle and not a co-owner. A private individual can obtain the contribution for at most one car, one motorcycle and one cargo bike every two years. This page describes motor vehicles; motorcycles, mopeds and cargo bikes follow other amounts that are not described here.

Which vehicles are eligible

The contribution can only be used to buy vehicles that are new from the factory; used vehicles are not eligible. The eligible new electric vehicles must have a first registration from 1 May 2017.

The eligible motor vehicles are of these types:

• Battery electric motor vehicles (BEV).
• Hydrogen fuel cell electric motor vehicles (FCEV).
• Battery electric motor vehicles with a range extender (BEV with REX) with a battery capacity of at least 15 kWh.
• Plug-in hybrid motor vehicles (PHEV).

Range extender motor vehicles and plug-in hybrid motor vehicles may not emit more than 70 g of CO2 per km. The motor vehicles covered, for the transport of persons and of goods, are those of classes M1, N1 and N2.

The price cap for passenger cars

For passenger cars of class M1 the price of the vehicle must be below €50,000, a figure that excludes VAT, the registration costs and the provincial transcription tax (IPT). The criteria described here are those in force when the sources were read; they may have changed since.
