Bavaria is investing in the expansion of charging infrastructure and supporting freight forwarders in establishing fast charging points for electric trucks.
“In addition to modern internal combustion engines and hydrogen drives, there are also legitimate uses for electric trucks. Therefore, we are promoting charging points with high charging power for electric trucks in our new program. In the first funding call alone, we are investing four million euros. Together with our successful hydrogen fueling station program, we are best positioned to implement a technology-agnostic mobility without fossil fuels,” explains Economics Minister Hubert Aiwanger, who is otherwise more H2-affine.
Starting tomorrow, companies in the freight transport sector can apply for funds from the new subsidy directive "Non-publicly accessible charging infrastructure for e-road freight transport in Bavaria".
Subsidized are the procurement and installation of DC fast charging points on company premises with up to 40 percent of the costs. For small and medium-sized enterprises, the subsidy rate will be increased by ten percentage points.
“For Bavarian companies involved in freight transportation, we are creating a strong incentive to electrify their vehicle fleets," explains Aiwanger.
The funding program is managed by the Electromobility Competence Center at Bayern Innovativ GmbH. Detailed information about the program can be found there under the funding program "Non-public Charging Infrastructure for E-Road Freight Transport in Bavaria".
