Croatia Launches New 20 Million Euros Subsidy Scheme for Electric Vehicle Purchases

Croatia will soon launch a new 20 million euros subsidy scheme to support citizens purchasing energy-efficient vehicles, it was announced at the closing conference of the “Driving Economically” (Vozimo EKOnomično) project, organized by the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund.

According to the Fund’s Director, Luka Balen, around 63 million euros in national funding has been allocated in recent years for the purchase of more than 11,000 energy-efficient vehicles.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Green Transition said that the subsidies not only encourage the purchase of electric vehicles but also support the development of the market and charging infrastructure.

• Only nine EU countries truly encourage companies to switch to electric vehicles
• Decline in expectations in the German automotive industry due to tariffs and supply chain disruptions

Officials also noted that a separate 45 million euros funding call is currently open for the purchase of zero-emission vehicles for taxi operators and light commercial vehicle users. In addition, a new 45 million euros financial instrument is being prepared through the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development (HBOR).

The government also announced that nearly 974 million euros will be invested in sustainable mobility through the upcoming Social Climate Plan.
