Transport Malta has re-opened the scheme on the Purchase of New Environment-Friendly Hybrid Vehicles for the third time

Following its success, after it was launched in January, Transport Malta is extending the scheme for the third time by allocating another €100,000.  Transport Malta will be receiving further applications for the Grant which will be processed on a first come first serve basis. 

The initiative is aimed to encourage people to dispose of their old vehicles and invest in new cars with lower emissions.  100 vehicles have already benefitted from this scheme amounting to €200,000 in grants.

Subject to various conditions, the amount of €2,000 will be granted upon registering a new Category M1 hybrid vehicle with CO₂ emissions between 51-65g/km whilst at the same time de-registering a vehicle in the same category. 

Applications for such scheme are available from Transport Malta, A3 Towers, Paola or downloaded from http://www.transport.gov.mt/land-transport

The scheme in the form of a grant to incentivise the purchase of other M1 motor vehicles as per below is still applicable:

• €700 or €900 shall be given upon the purchase of a new Category M1 motor vehicle and 
• €3,000 upon registering a new Category M1 motor (plug in Hybrid Electric vehicle) with CO₂ emissions between 0-50g/km.
