€1.4B to support Poland’s eHDV sector and vehicle charging infrastructure

Poland has received approvals from the European Investment Bank (EIB) for aid programs amounting a total of c.a. €1.4 billion. The funds will be used to develop high-powered charging infrastructure, as well as to support the purchase of heavy-duty electric vehicles (N2 and N3 category).

Despite earlier announcements, the program of subsidies for the purchase of electric heavy vehicles has been approved with twice the original budget. There will be approximately €465 million.

Beneficiaries of the approved programs of the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management will include distribution network operators, charging station operators, as well as small, medium and large companies in the TSL sector.

The approval of the program “Support for the purchase or lease of zero-emission vehicles of the N2 and N3 categories” is an important step in the transformation of the heavy transport sector. The TSL industry—which accounts for 6-7% of Poland’s GDP—has long been waiting for this decision.

The rules of the EIB-approved program have remained unchanged. The amount of subsidies still depends on the size of the company and the type of supported vehicles. For purchases, the subsidy can be a maximum of 30% of eligible costs for large companies, 50% for medium-sized ones and 60% for small ones.

However, the total amount of support cannot exceed €93,000 for N2 category vehicles or €174,300 for N3 category. If leasing is chosen, the subsidy cannot be higher than the amount of the initial leasing fee, according to Piotr Ziółkowski, PSNM Committee Coordinator for Logistics and Transportation.

In addition to eHDV subsidies, other key support programs that have already received approval from the European Investment Bank should be launched soon. Among them will be a program on the development of public charging stations for heavy transport, which will have a budget of €465 million and will benefit, among others, charging station operators.
