Are there incentives for the purchase of a new vehicle also driven by LPG or for subsequent conversions to petrol-driven vehicles?

Currently there are incentives for the purchase of both new bi-fuel and for the conversion of petrol-driven vehicles already in circulation. For LPG conversions, the availability of public funds and other regional or local incentives should be checked from time to time (through freephone numbers, internet sites, etc.) with the individual administrations and also with sector associations and specialised publications. In 2008 and 2009 there are certainly contributions available from the Ministry of Economic Development, with a unit value which is currently equal to €350 for the LPG conversion of already registered petrol-driven vehicles, of all Euro categories. As for the purchase of bi-fuel vehicles, the government contribution is worth €1500, and this will certainly continue until the end of 2009. Both of these grants are given in the form of discounts at the installation of a GPL system or the purchase of a new bi-fuel vehicle.
