Subsidies to purchase electric trucks
The State Environmental Fund has announced a call for proposals under the Modernisation Fund (ModF – TRANSCom No. 2/2025), in which road freight transport operators can obtain subsidies for the purchase of electric trucks. The call reflects the current trend towards the decarbonisation of transport and the reduction of environmental impacts.
Applications for subsidies can be submitted from 2 February to 30 November 2026. The support is intended for the purchase of new electric trucks in N2 and N3 categories, including the option to install charging stations (a maximum of one charging station for every two vehicles purchased). The condition is that a new electric vehicle replaces an existing diesel-powered truck. Business entities registered in the Czech Republic that operate road freight transport can apply for this type of subsidy.
The funds for allocation are CZK 960 million, with 80 percent of the funds primarily earmarked for N3 category vehicles. The aid intensity for large enterprises is set at 30 percent of eligible expenses (the aid intensity for small and medium-sized enterprises is higher). Eligible expenses represent the difference between the price of the vehicle being purchased and the price of a reference (conventional) vehicle, which is fixed. At the same time, the maximum price of a newly purchased vehicle is set for the calculation of the maximum amount of support.
For example, the maximum price for a newly purchased N3 category vehicle is CZK 7.25 million, while the price for a reference vehicle with a diesel engine in the same category is CZK 2.75 million. The subsidy for a large enterprise would thus be CZK 1.35 million (i.e. 30 percent of the difference, which is CZK 4.5 million). For charging stations, the amount of support is limited to CZK 50,000 per station.
Projects must be implemented no later than three years after the decision to grant support is signed.
