The Government will finally approve this Friday, in an extraordinary Council of Ministers, the Renewal Plan to encourage the acquisition of vehicles, also diesel and gasoline, in exchange for scrapping an old one and which has a budget of 250 million euros ( 230 million if trucks and buses are excluded).

The Executive had planned to have brought it to the Council of Ministers last Tuesday, as announced by the Secretary General for Industry and SMEs, Raül Blanco, during the Automotive Table the day before. But it was finally removed from the agenda. The evolution of car sales during June, known yesterday, once again highlighted the need to implement such aid.

However, these aid tranches could vary, especially in the case of plug-in hybrid models that have a state premium of 4,000 euros according to the Renove, and 2,600 if the operation accommodates the Moves II. In both cases, delivering an old car in exchange (with more than 10 years or 7 years, respectively).

In the case of SMEs, aid is 3,200 euros for the 'Zero', between 500 and 800 euros for the 'Eco' and between 350 and 650 euros for the 'C', while large companies will receive 2,800 euros in the first case, between 450 and 700 in the second and between 300 and 550 euros in the third.

To be able to apply for the aid of this plan, the acquired cars may not have a price of more than 35,000 euros (or 45,000 euros if they have a ZERO label from the DGT)
