The 2022 fund for car incentives for small displacement cars, light hybrids and full hybrids has been exhausted. The 170 million euros available for the purchase of new cars with carbon dioxide emissions between 61 and 135 g / km are over. For private individuals who are interested in this range of cars, we will talk about it again in 2023. At the time of writing this article, just over 11 million euros remain available for car sharing operators who want to buy cars of this kind.

the heart of the market

The segment of cars with emissions between 61 and 135 g / km of CO2 emissions represents the heart of the market in Italy, combining cars with small displacement thermal engines, light hybrids (mild hybrids) and full hybrids. In other words, these are cars that have lower list costs than electric and plug-in hybrids. For these last two categories of engines, on the other hand, good endowments of the funds foreseen for 2022 remain. Also at the time of writing this article for the electric (range 0-20) 187.3 million remain while for the plug-in (range 21- 60) 202.6 million.

nearly 11 million a day

The 61-135 incentive mechanism provides for a contribution of 2 thousand euros, for the consumer it translates into a discount, against the scrapping of a car with approval between Euro 0 and Euro 4. Looking at the glass half full then this it means that with the incentives in the coming months 85,000 old cars will be removed from the road compared to the same number in circulation with the most up-to-date emission standard. The half-empty part of the glass is the obvious lack of measure for this range of machines. Considering the 16 working days that elapsed between May 25 (but the valid pre-contracts could be signed from May 16) and June 13, 10.625 million euros of incentives were consumed per day. A number that says little, however. The trend in bookings in the first day alone was much more significant, with 93.5 million consumed from morning to afternoon. These are clear indications of the current functioning of the market.
