Germany has allocated €2.2 billion from 2023 to 2026 to support the deployment of climate-friendly vehicles, including fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The program covers the procurement of light and heavy commercial vehicles (EU classes N1, N2, and N3) and the development of hydrogen refueling stations (HRS). Incentives include up to 80% of the additional investment costs for alternative drive vehicles, up to 80% of eligible costs for HRS, and up to 50% for feasibility studies. Funding for heavy-duty vehicles is capped at €500,000 per application, and infrastructure funding requires at least one associated vehicle purchase under the program.
