2019 scrappage bonus: 122 g CO2/km threshold and doubled bonus for non-taxpaying long-distance commuters

The decree of 28 December 2018 amends the scrappage bonus from 1 January 2019. Vehicles purchased must emit less than 122 g CO2/km. The bonus is €1,000 for a recent combustion vehicle in general and €2,500 for a new electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. For non-taxpaying households whose workplace is more than 30 km from home or who drive more than 12,000 km a year for work, it reaches 80% of the price, up to €4,000 (combustion) or €5,000 (electric or plug-in hybrid).
