The actual amount of the eco-bonus will be determined by the emissions data. The legislation provides for three different ranges (0-20 g / km, 21-60 g / km and 61-135 g / km).
There is another limit to consider. This is the list price. For each emission band, a maximum limit is established on the list price that the model can have in order to be purchased using the 2022 car incentives. It should also be noted that an extra discount is provided for the first two emission bands in the event of scrapping of a car up to Euro 4. For the third band (61-135 g / km), the eco-bonus is only foreseen with scrapping.

Lo The discount is higher in case of scrapping of a pre-Euro 5 car. Consequently, for the 21-60 g / km range it is possible to obtain an eco-bonus of 4,000 euros on the purchase of a new hybrid car and with the simultaneous scrapping of a used vehicle compatible with the provisions of the law. Without scrapping, however, the amount of the incentive will drop to 2,000 euros.

Manufacturers will also bea> able to modify the price list of their own models to make them compatible with the purchase through ecobonus.
