The new “zero-emission vehicles” aid scheme under the microscope
As an extension of the tripartite agreement reached on March 31, 2022, the government introduced new aid in April 2023 for companies investing in heavy-duty vehicles (categories N2 and N3) with zero emissions.
This aid is temporary and will be subject to review in the context of the transposition into national law of the new European provisions on State aid.
On the initiative of the Ministry of the Economy, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Energy, with the support of Luxinnovation, an information webinar for the players involved in this field was organized on Tuesday 13 June from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., in French.
