Gas conversion scheme for cars, extended

Transport Malta is extending a scheme to incentivise vehicle owners to convert their vehicle's fuel system to Autogas.

This environment-friendly budget measure is aimed at reducing the amount of emissions generated from road traffic.

Subject to various conditions, the grant amounts to €200, which will be given upon the conversion to Autogas of an M1 motor vehicle used for private purposes.

The scheme comes into effect on the 1st January, 2014 and closes on the 31st December, 2014 or earlier if the maximum of 750 claims has been reached. Applications are processed on a first come first serve basis. Persons who have converted their vehicle to Autogas in 2013 may still apply for the scheme.

Applications for such scheme are available from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Unit, Hornsworks Ditch, Floriana or downloaded from www.transport.gov.mt.
