The Governing Council of the Community of Madrid has approved the extension of the Plan Mueve Madrid, an initiative aimed at individuals, self-employed workers, and small and medium-sized enterprises to facilitate the adoption of less polluting means of transport. This measure, part of the regional Energy, Climate, and Air Strategy 2023-2030, has an initial budget of 500,000 euros.
Scrapping a vehicle without an environmental sticker will grant access to aid of 1,000 euros. This amount can increase to 2,000 euros if a new vehicle with an ECO or ZERO label is purchased. As an alternative to direct financial subsidy, beneficiaries can opt for a C2 zone transport pass valid for three years.
The plan also includes aid for the purchase of electric bicycles, with subsidies of up to 600 euros. For other cycles, such as three-wheeled assisted pedal cycles, the maximum amount will be 1,500 euros; for assisted hand bikes, 1,000 euros; and for electric mopeds, 700 euros. Self-employed professionals and SMEs can receive up to 20,000 euros for the acquisition of hydrogen vehicles intended for taxi or VTC services.
The new conditions of the Plan Mueve Madrid simplify procedures. The three-month period to apply for aid after scrapping or purchasing a new vehicle has been removed. In certain cases, it will no longer be necessary to present the ITV card or the circulation permit if authorization is granted to consult this data with the General Directorate of Traffic. Furthermore, procedures for vehicles received by inheritance are streamlined, and environmental vouchers for shared mobility services have been eliminated.
All detailed information regarding the requirements and necessary documentation for submitting applications is available on the official website of the Community of Madrid.
