Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland has been established as a dedicated Office charged with supporting consumers, the public sector and businesses to continue to make the switch to zero emission vehicles. The Office will lead on the delivery of the Ireland’s ambitious targets under the Climate Action Plan 2023 to have an expected 30% of our private car fleet switched to electric by 2030.
Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland launched on 21 July 2022, along with the announcement of new initiatives and grants.
The eSPSV24 Grant Scheme is now open. €11.5 million has been allocated for grants this year via the eSPSV24 Grant Scheme, to enable owners of small public service vehicles, such as taxis, hackneys and limousines, to buy electric vehicles. The scheme is funded by the Department of Transport and administered by NTA. Further information about the eSPSV24 Grant Scheme, including how to apply, can be found here
The Zero-Emission Heavy Duty Vehicle Purchase Grant Scheme (ZEHDV) will open on 12 February 2024.
The Scheme awards grants to assist companies and enterprises who wish to buy zero-emission heavy duty vehicles (ZEHDV) which are supported by the Scheme instead of buying the diesel equivalent.
The Zero-Emission Heavy Duty Vehicle (ZEHDV) Purchase Grant Scheme is funded by the Department of Transport and administered by Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
Applications to the scheme will be accepted the week commencing the 12th of February 2024 and more information can be found here .

Note: Changes to the General Block Exemption (Reg. 651/2014) in July 2023 impacted the Alternatively Fuelled HDV Purchase (AFHDV) Grant Scheme and made the scheme no longer viable under the new regulations. In response, the Department of Transport have established the Zero Emissions Heavy Duty Scheme (ZEHDV).
