E-taxi support programme
If you want to purchase an e-taxi as a taxi company, the city of Munich will subsidise this purchase with a financial grant.
Course description
Overview of the funding programme:
- 10,000 euros per vehicle is subsidised (for net acquisition costs of less than 30,000 euros, the subsidy amounts to one third of these costs).
- There is a "climate speed bonus" of ten per cent of the subsidy amount (maximum 1,000 euros) for the first 100 vehicles. Prerequisite: The vehicle must be ordered within two months of the subsidy application being approved.
- The subsidy must be indicated by a sticker on the e-taxi, which is specified by the Department for Climate and Environmental Protection.
- Duration of the funding programme: 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2025(or until no funding is available).
- If you would like to convert your taxi into an inclusive taxi, there is additional funding available. You can find more information under "Links & Downloads".
Information on the expired e-taxi funding programme (2017 to 2023) can be found at the end of the "Questions & Answers" section.
