Canary Islands Eco-Friendly Transport Grants

Overview

The Canary Islands government has announced a new set of grants aimed at boosting eco-friendly transport. The funding targets both private companies, such as taxi owners and transport firms, and local government bodies like city halls and regional authorities. The main goal is to support the transition to greener mobility by subsidizing the purchase of electric and zero-emission vehicles, as well as installing infrastructure for electric charging stations and alternative fuels.

Funding Distribution

• Funding is divided equally between:
  • Acquiring electric vehicles—focused on transport for public and private use
  • Setting up public access charging and fuel stations
• Total grants of up to 625,000 euros are available for each sector,
  • with specific allocations for different types of vehicles and infrastructure projects.

Application Process

• Applications must be submitted through the government’s electronic portal.

Context and Goals

This initiative reflects regional efforts to reduce pollution and promote sustainable transport, crucial for residents’ health and the islands’ tourism-dependent economy.
