THE Community of Madrid launched an ambitious program of aid to promote the use of sustainable vehicles and reduce polluting emissions in the region. Under the name of “Moving Madrid Plan”this initiative aims not only to facilitate access to eco-friendly mobility options, but also to adapt to increasingly restrictive environmental regulations in urban areas. With an investment of 8.5 million euros and validity until 2026, This program becomes one of the Community’s most important commitments to promote more responsible transport adapted to new climate challenges.
This aid is part of a regulatory framework which encourages the purchase of vehicles with low environmental impact, the renewal of the vehicle fleet and support for other ecological mobility options. The proposal to receive this aid from the Community of Madrid ranges from from electric cars and hydrogen vehicles to e-bikes and shared mobility servicesaimed at individuals as well as professionals and small businesses. The Community thus seeks to facilitate the transition to a less polluting transport model, compatible with the restrictions imposed by the Madrid 360 regulation in low-emission zones.
This plan is aimed at those who wish to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle. Citizens who own a vehicle without an environmental label can benefit from an economic incentive to scrap your old car and buy a new one with the ECO or Zero label. Additionally, vouchers are offered for the use of shared transportation, an ideal option for those who want to contribute to the environment without having to purchase their own vehicle.
