Who can apply for the 2024 Ecobonus?

Anyone who purchases a category vehicle from L2024e to L1e is entitled to the 7 Ecobonus. This includes two, three or four-wheeled mopeds and motorcycles with no power limits. Those who benefit from the incentives will not be able to resell the vehicle for 12 months. The same duration also applies to legal entities that purchase a vehicle intended for rental, while in the case of sharing the commitment increases to 24 months.
