Italy’s 2026 Two‑Wheeler Ecobonus Funds Are Snapped Up Within Hours of Launch

A first‑come system via Invitalia saw dealers claim the €30 million on day one, prompting ministry checks for possible hoarding.

Overview

  • Dealer bookings opened at 12:00 on March 18 for incentives on new L‑category vehicles, and the entire €30 million 2026 allocation was quickly committed, according to the MIMIT monitoring site.
  • Discounts are applied at the point of sale by dealers and later recovered through the Invitalia portal, with reservations assigned in order of submission.
  • The incentive equals 30% of the purchase price up to €3,000 without scrappage and 40% up to €4,000 with eligible scrappage; without scrappage, contributions apply only to electric motorcycles and mopeds.
  • Eligible purchases must be new factory vehicles in categories L1e–L7e, which include motorini, scooters, motorcycles, tricylces, quadricycles and microcars; buyers must keep the vehicle for at least 12 months.
  • For the higher tier, the scrapped vehicle must be an L‑category model registered to the buyer or a cohabiting family member for at least 12 months and be Euro 0–3; both individuals and companies can access the scheme, capped at 500 vehicles per tax ID, and a different 2027–2030 package is planned pending approval.
