Description
Dedicated EIB loan to finance investments by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-caps in fleet renewal, in collaboration with incentive programmes from Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment and Ministry of Public Works and Transport.
Objectives
The project concerns financing the renewal of road transport fleets in the private sector in Spain, including freight and passenger transport, as well as agricultural machinery, exclusively for SMEs and mid-caps.
The loan will be dedicated to financing the renewal of fleets with new models equipped with more modern technology, which are expected to lead to improved safety and working conditions, as well as to increased energy efficiency and protection of the environment.
The EIB financing will contribute towards public programmes promoted by the Spanish government supporting the renewal of transport fleets (Planes de Impulso al Medio Ambiente – PIMA), including PIMA Aire and PIMA Transporte.
