2025 Updates: New Rules and Amounts for Eco Car Bonus

Ecobonus Auto 2025: What to Expect

The 2025 ecobonus for cars is almost certain, although it won’t be the same as in 2024.
The incentive plan has received extremely positive feedback, meeting two key government objectives: renewing the circulating vehicles in Italy and supporting less wealthy families.
However, one aspect where the aid fell short was in supporting the production of Italian cars, as domestic facilities did not significantly increase their sales volume.

For this reason, the “Automotive Table” has learned from past experiences, confirming the ecobonus for the new year but with new rules.
The meeting between government representatives, automotive sector stakeholders, and Minister of Made in Italy and Industry Adolfo Urso, focused on increasing Italian and then European production.

Changes in Ecobonus Auto: Supporting Italian Production

The main changes in the ecobonus auto revolve around increasing Made in Italy or at least European production.
The new incentive plan aims to significantly support the purchase of vehicles with predominantly Italian components.
The strategy now focuses on encouraging investments by automakers, utilizing multi-year resource planning to prevent rapid fund depletion, in line with the long-term budget adopted by the European Union.

Minister Urso stated that support for the Italian economy goes beyond component production to include on-site assembly, production sustainability, and respect for workers’ rights.
This comprehensive program aims to address family and taxpayer needs while boosting the energy transition and broadening safety considerations to include technology, cybersecurity, and low emissions.

Funds and Amounts for Ecobonus Auto 2025

While negotiations are ongoing, it appears that the €5.75 billion fund established in 2022 will be utilized.
According to the multi-year plan, resources should be allocated as follows: €750 million for 2025; €1 billion for 2026; €1 billion for 2027; €1 billion for 2028; €1 billion for 2029; €1 billion for 2030.
The focus on supply would increase from €50 million in 2022 to €350 million annually for the following biennium to enhance Italian component production and assembly.

Although new rules are expected for 2025, a significant portion of incentives is likely to benefit individuals.
In the previous year, a quarter of these resources went to families with an ISEE below €30,000.
However, the government intends to increase this proportion or introduce more specific income criteria.
Emphasis will be on supply to benefit consumers, prompting negotiations with major Chinese manufacturers like Dongfeng Motors for investments.
This could revamp disused production sites and position Italy significantly in the ecological transition of vehicles in the European market, with investors playing a role in the process.
