Facing the cost of buying a new car in Madrid can be a smaller outlay if you take advantage of the new line of subsidies that the Madrid City Council has announced to promote sustainable mobility in the capital.
With an investment of 9.8 million euros -expandable up to 23.3-, the new call of the Cambia 360 Aid Plan will allocate nearly half of it -4 million euros- to subsidies for those who want to buy a new private car, distributed in the following way:
- Purchase of vehicles with ZERO emissions label: 4,000 euros.
- Purchase of vehicles with ECO label: 2,000 euros.
- Purchase of vehicles with C label: 1,500 euros (and the condition of scrapping a polluting vehicle).
In addition, the budget is expandable up to 20 million euros to cover and encourage certain cases such as the donation of vehicles with environmental classification category A or B for delivery to those affected by the DANA, which increases the grant by 1,500 euros.
You can consult all the cases in the Official Gazette of the Madrid City Council (BOAM), published this Tuesday, June 10. In addition, the Madrid City Council provides a search engine to find the dealers and points of sale adhered to this plan.
