Check which commercial vehicle incentive fits your fleet
On 29 July the Commercial Vehicle Ecobonus funded by the DPCM Automotive ran through its 2026 funds within a few hours, and the PNRR micro-enterprise measure is closed, but the Nuova Sabatini is still active, and a new tranche arrives in 2027 for vehicles up to 7.2 tonnes, own-account or for hire. In 2026 there are several separate measures for vans, each with its own rules: in 5 questions you'll know which one to look at first, without entering any personal data.
The 2026 windows for your profile have closed: here's what's left
Your profile (micro-enterprise, electric vehicle, urban-area base) matched the micro-enterprise incentives of the PNRR, Italy's post-Covid recovery plan, which closed on 30 June 2026 with no reopening. The other route to an electric van, the Commercial Vehicle Ecobonus funded by the DPCM Automotive, also ran through its €40 million for 2026 on 29 July, within a few hours. Neither has been refinanced: the next real window for an electric van is the 2027 tranche.
What to do now
- The active lever today is the Nuova Sabatini: it doesn't cut the price but the cost of the loan or lease you buy the vehicle with (electric vans included, as long as they are brand new; the ministry does not accept swapping an old vehicle for an equivalent newer one), and applications are open, first come, first served.
- Put the 2027 Ecobonus commercial tranche on your calendar: of the €180 million programmed through 2030, €40 million is set for 2027, with 40% reserved for electric and hydrogen, for vehicles up to 7.2 t. The opening date will depend on the director's decree, which in 2026 came out two days before the window.
- Arrive ready for the next window: the 2026 funds vanished within a few hours, and the winners were those with the order and paperwork already in place. Prepare your fleet data and line up the dealer before it opens.
The direct commercial channel is closed for 2026: here are the active levers
As an SME (or micro-enterprise) that moves goods, whether for hire or on its own account, with a powertrain already chosen, the structured channel would be MIMIT's Commercial Vehicle Ecobonus, the same measure funded by the DPCM Automotive for N1/N2 vehicles up to 7.2 t. But the €40 million for the 2026 tranche ran out on 29 July, within a few hours, and no refinancing has been announced: until the 2027 tranche, the right move is to use the levers still active.
What to do now
- Nuova Sabatini: the most solid lever today. Refinanced with €650 million for 2026-2027, it cuts the interest on the loan or lease you buy the vehicle with (commercial vehicles included, as long as they are brand new; the ministry does not accept swapping an old vehicle for an equivalent newer one), and applications are open, first come, first served. Check your region's grants as well.
- If your vehicles weigh more than 7.2 t, the Ecobonus doesn't cover them: hauliers can look to the Transport Ministry's fleet renewal fund (€100 million in 2027, rules not yet published), while own-account operators are left with the Sabatini and regional calls.
- Start preparing now for the 2027 Ecobonus commercial tranche (€40 million, 40% reserved for electric and hydrogen) and plan renewal on total cost of ownership, not just the discount: a first-come-first-served grant runs out within hours, your TCO doesn't.
Choose the powertrain for your routes and get ready for the 2027 tranche
Since you haven't decided the powertrain yet, the choice of measure stays open, but the 2026 window is already closed: the Commercial Vehicle Ecobonus (the measure funded by the DPCM Automotive) ran through its €40 million for 2026 on 29 July, within a few hours, with no refinancing. The next real window is the 2027 tranche, for vehicles up to 7.2 t. In the meantime, the Nuova Sabatini and regional grants remain.
What to do now
- Decide the powertrain starting from the vehicles' mission profile (mileage, routes, low-emission-zone access): this is what determines whether electric actually pays, even before the incentive.
- Use what's open now: the Nuova Sabatini cuts the interest on the loan for brand-new vehicles, though not for one that simply replaces an equivalent vehicle already in the fleet; your region may also run its own grants.
- Prepare your fleet data (age, real costs, downtime) to arrive ready for the 2027 Ecobonus commercial tranche: first-come-first-served funds run out fast, and in 2026 they were gone within a few hours.
Verify your profile's eligibility
The main 2026 measures for commercial vehicles are designed for micro-enterprises and SMEs that move goods, for hire or on their own account. If you're a large enterprise, or your profile isn't clear-cut, the first step is to verify each measure's eligibility requirements before planning the purchase.
What to do now
- Read the full guide to understand the requirements, beneficiaries and status of the measures (Commercial Vehicle Ecobonus exhausted on 29/07 with the next tranche in 2027, PNRR for micro-enterprises closed on 30/06, Nuova Sabatini active) and identify the one applicable to your case.
- Always verify the call in force on the official portals: company size, location and type of activity determine actual access.
- Regardless of the incentive, base renewal on total cost of ownership (TCO): that's what tells you which vehicles are actually worth replacing and with which powertrain.
This tool is for guidance only and does not replace the official calls. Requirements, amounts and deadlines may vary: always verify the measure in force on the official portals (ecobonus.mimit.gov.it) before purchasing. For an analysis of your fleet, talk to our team.

Frequently asked questions
How many commercial vehicle incentives are there in 2026?
The measures differ, and so does their status. MIMIT's Commercial Vehicle Ecobonus (the same measure funded by the DPCM Automotive for N1/N2 vehicles up to 7.2 t bought by SMEs, whether they haul for hire or carry their own goods) ran through its €40 million for 2026 on 29 July, within a few hours, with no refinancing: the next window is the 2027 tranche. The PNRR measure for micro-enterprises closed on 30 June 2026. The Nuova Sabatini, which cuts the interest on financing, remains active. The LPG/methane retrofit on the same portal only covers passenger cars.
Does the tool tell me the exact contribution amount?
No. The tool indicates which measure best fits your profile (company size, powertrain, location). Exact amounts vary by weight band and powertrain and must be verified on the official portals: the DPCM sets them, unless a later decree changes them.
