New 2016 scale for the ecological bonus and the conversion premium
Decree No. 2015-1928 of 31 December 2015 amended the aids for buying or leasing low-emission vehicles. Diesel vehicles (including diesel hybrids) were excluded from the bonus. Aids for hybrid vehicles, previously a percentage of the price capped at €2,000 or €4,000, were set at €750 or €1,000 depending on the category. The conversion premium paid to non-taxable households was set at €1,000 for a new non-diesel car meeting the Euro 6 standard and emitting at most 110 g CO2/km, and a new €500 premium was created for a non-diesel Euro 5 car; the scrapped diesel vehicle must have been registered before 1 January 2006 (instead of 2001).

Measure impact
Buyers of hybrid vehicles receive a reduced aid and buyers of diesel vehicles no longer qualify for the bonus. Non-taxable households scrapping an old diesel car benefit from a wider conversion premium. Earlier orders invoiced within three months remain under the previous scale if more favourable.
