General Applicant Eligibility and Household Rules
The programme distinguished clearly between applicant profiles and vehicle types. Eligible applicants included natural persons and legal persons governed by private law. There were no general income thresholds or caps applied to passenger car purchases under the Klimabonus Mobilitéit. However, social criteria were integrated into the broader subsidy package for micromobility: for example, grants for standard bicycles and pedelecs (up to €600) were strictly reserved for households receiving a cost-of-living or energy allowance.
Household composition also played a critical role in unlocking the highest subsidy tiers. Under the standard rules, the maximum €6,000 grant was reserved for vehicles meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines. However, a special household bonus allowed larger families to bypass these efficiency requirements: any passenger vehicle with 7 or more seats qualified for the full €6,000 tier, provided the applicant was part of a household consisting of 5 or more people. This required a formal declaration of household composition. For used electric car purchases, household rules acted as a safeguard against internal family transfers; the buyer could not belong to the same household as the seller.
Vehicle Requirements and Technical Standards
To qualify for the Klimabonus Mobilitéit, passenger cars (M1) had to meet exact technical and emissions criteria. Eligible vehicles were required to emit 0 g CO2/km, limiting the scheme exclusively to battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and internal combustion engine (ICE) models were entirely excluded from support.
The baseline grant amount was tied directly to energy efficiency. To qualify for the standard €6,000 tier, a vehicle had to show an electric consumption of 16 kWh/100 km or less. Cars with a medium efficiency, defined as consumption between 16 and 18 kWh/100 km, or under 20 kWh/100 km if the maximum net power was 150 kW or less, were restricted to a lower grant of €3,000. Additionally, the programme mandated strict minimum holding periods to prevent rapid vehicle resale. Buyers of new cars under contracts signed from October 1, 2024, were required to hold or lease the vehicle for at least 36 months, while used electric cars carried a 24-month holding requirement. Used cars were also required to be at least 3 years old from their first registration and could not have been previously registered abroad.
Financial Limits and Stacking Restrictions
The subsidy operated on a post-purchase reimbursement model, covering up to 50% of the vehicle's cost excluding VAT, capped at the flat rate of either €6,000 or €3,000 depending on the vehicle's efficiency or family status. Used electric cars qualified for a lower cap of €1,500. Entirely state-funded through the domestic national budget, these grants were not stackable with other climate-related vehicle purchase subsidies, enforcing a single-subsidy rule for each vehicle registered.
KYC Verification and Administrative Compliance
Applications were handled through a hybrid administrative channel, allowing applicants to submit forms online via MyGuichet.lu or offline using paper documents. The submission portal and supporting documentation were fully localized in French, German, and English. For online submissions, applicants verified their identity through secure systems like LuxTrust, the Luxembourgish Electronic Identity Card (eID), or eIDAS, while paper applications required a physical copy of an identity document.
To complete the compliance check, applicants had to provide a robust set of documents. This included a registration certificate detailing the vehicle type, the Certificate of Conformity (COC) verifying energy consumption and technical dimensions, a bank account identification document (RIB) for the transfer, and a copy of the sales, rental, or leasing contract. If a leaseholder or keeper filed the application on behalf of the vehicle owner, a formal declaration of renunciation signed by the owner was required. Payouts were issued via direct bank transfer to the applicant once the vehicle was fully registered in Luxembourg. For contracts signed after October 1, 2024, the previous 7-to-12 month waiting period before filing an application was completely abolished.
