Emission control is one of the main environmental objectives of recent times. Among the measures that have been taken is the incorporation of low emission zones in cities or the promotion of public transport.
Depending on the age or the fuel used, vehicles carry an environmental label. In some cities even the most polluting cars cannot access certain areas. In the case of Madrid, it will allow registered vehicles to circulate without a label until 2026.
However, the Community has programs to continue advancing in sustainable mobility and aid can be requested to replace vehicles. Last November, aid of up to 2,000 euros was approved for the scrapping of vehicles without an environmental label.
Likewise, the Mueve Plan has a investment of 8.4 million of euros until 2026. These aid are directed to natural persons, of legal age and registered in municipalities of the Community of Madrid, self-employed workers and SMEs that carry out their economic activity in low-emission areas.
Free public transportation for scrapping the vehicle
There is aid for new two- or three-wheeled electric cycles, bicycles, electric mopeds, M1 fuel cell electric vehicles intended for taxi or VTC services and vehicle scrapping.
It is about the latter where one of the main novelties arrives: «It stands out, in the case of scrap vehicles without environmental marking, is that it will be possible to grant the transportation subscription for tariff zone C2 to users for a period of three years».
