VEHICLES MADE IN FRANCE OR THE EU WILL BE PRIORITISED The list of vehicles that people can buy with government aid has been released. We explain how this scheme works and present the 22 cars
that are eligible. President Macron announced the vehicles eligible for this _bonus écologique_, alongside the LAUNCH OF THE €100-PER MONTH RENTAL SCHEME for electric cars on December 14.
In both schemes, almost all of the cars are produced in France or in Europe. WHAT IS THE SCHEME? The _bonus écologique_ scheme provides financial aid of up to €6,000 – or 27% of the cost of
a vehicle – to buy a car with a low carbon footprint. It can also be used to lease an eligible vehicle. The criteria include: * An environmental rating based on the vehicle’s production and
transport carbon emissions * A purchase price of less than or equal to €47,000 * A weight less than or equal to 2,400kg. The aid is not means tested, meaning anyone purchasing or leasing an
eligible vehicle can apply for it. While the aid previously also applied to used vehicles, President Macron confirmed that only new cars will be eligible. Full information on the scheme can
be found HERE. WHAT VEHICLES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE BONUS ÉCOLOGIQUE? The complete list is as follows: * Abarth 500 * Audi Q4 45 E-TRON * BMW Serie 4, Serie X, iX1, iX2 * Citroën E-C4, E-C4 X,
