Mr Schultz van Haegen, the Dutch minister for the Environment, has allocated 2,6 million euros to subsidise green company vans. Commercial companies, water authorities and research institutes that acquire a company vehicle running on ‘green’ gas, biogas, or higher blends of biofuel, are eligible for the subsidy. The scheme will run from July 1st up until and including December 30th. 

The grant must be requested in advance, and only applies for at least three new cars or vans per request. The grant will amount to 3.000 euros, with a maximum of 100.000 euros per project.
