For mobility and vehicles Grant

About this grant

The 'For Mobility and Vehicles' section of IDAE (Instituto para la Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía) groups together a portfolio of grant and incentive programmes targeting sustainable mobility and vehicle efficiency in Spain. Transport is the highest energy-consuming sector in Spain, accounting for approximately 40% of total national energy consumption, with private passenger vehicles alone representing around 15% of all final energy consumed. These programmes aim to unlock the sector's significant energy-saving potential by supporting improvements to mobility infrastructure and the efficiency of transport modes. The portfolio includes active programmes such as MOVES Corredores (for charging corridor infrastructure), MOVES Flotas Plus (for electric vehicle fleets), MOVES III 2025 (for electric vehicle acquisition by individuals and businesses), as well as closed historical programmes including MOVES Flotas, MOVES Proyectos Singulares II, MOVES II, Plan MOVES, Plan MOVALT Vehículos, and Plan MOVALT Infraestructura, among others. There are also programmes targeting energy efficiency in the railway sector and modal shift in transport funded through the National Energy Efficiency Fund (FNEE). These programmes are co-funded through the EU Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR / Next Generation EU) as well as national public funds. They collectively support the purchase of electric and low-emission vehicles, deployment of charging infrastructure, fleet electrification, and innovative mobility projects across Spain's autonomous communities.

Eligibility

Eligibility varies by specific sub-programme within the mobility and vehicles portfolio. In general, eligible applicants include private individuals, businesses (SMEs and large enterprises), public administrations, and local entities resident or operating in Spain. Some programmes such as MOVES III target individuals and companies purchasing electric or low-emission vehicles, while MOVES Flotas targets vehicle fleet operators. Programmes focused on singular projects or infrastructure may require applicants to be legal entities with a registered presence in Spain. Geographic eligibility is generally restricted to Spain, with some programmes distributed through the Autonomous Communities, which issue their own regional calls.

About this sector

Electric mobility funding supports electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, battery supply chains and fleet transition for buses, vans and trucks. Public authorities buy vehicles and charge points through tenders, while grants back pilots and manufacturing. Applicants usually need site plans, grid capacity checks and an operator for the finished assets.
