Grant scheme for conversion of vehicles to LPG extended

Transport Malta, in conjunction with the Ministry for Transport and Infrastructure, is extending the scheme to incentivise vehicle owners to convert their vehicle’s fuel system to Autogas/LPG, in accordance with measure proposed in the Budget 2015 speech.

This environment friendly budget measure is aimed at reducing the amount of emissions generated from road traffic.

Subject to various conditions, the grant amounts to €200 which will be given upon the conversion to Autogas/LPG of a Category M1 vehicle, (a passenger vehicle with a seating capacity of up to eight passengers and the driver) or a Category N1 vehicle, (a vehicle designed and constructed for the carriage of goods and having a maximum mass not exceeding 3.5 tonnes).

The scheme came into effect from 1 January 2015 and closes on 31 December 2015 or earlier if the maximum of 250 claims has been reached. Applications are processed on a first come first serve basis.

Persons who have converted their vehicle to Autogas in 2014 may still apply for the scheme.

Applications for such scheme are available from Transport Malta Offices, Vehicle Licensing Unit, Hornsworks Ditch, Floriana or downloaded from: http://www.transport.gov.mt/land-transport/government-scheme-to-incentivise-the-conversion-of-vehicles-to-autogas
