E-mobility revolution: 80 million euros for e-trucks in Vienna!

Wien, Österreich - Mobility Minister Peter Hanke has announced a new phase of the "Emove Austria" funding program, which plays a crucial role in promoting e-mobility in Austria. As reported by Oekonews, there are over 80 million euros for the purchase of electric trucks (N1, N3, N3) Charging infrastructure ready. This measure aims to advance the switch to emission -free transports and to support Austria's climate goals by 2040

It is particularly gratifying that 60 percent of the surcharge are funded in comparison to conventional combustion trucks when purchasing e-trucks. In addition, 40 percent of the costs for the necessary charging infrastructure are reimbursed. Applications for these grants have been submitted since July 9, 2025, the commitments are made in November 2025. The city of Vienna has already shown the first successes: federal subsidies have been purchased and the city plans to decarbonize its entire fleet by 2040.

strong increase in new registrations

The new registrations of e-trucks in Austria show a positive development. In the first half of 2025, almost 2,500 e-trucks were re-registered, which corresponds to an increase of over 150 percent compared to only 1,000 new registrations in the first half of 2022. This means that almost 16,000 e-trucks are now on the streets of Austria. These figures illustrate the growing interest and attention to electrical commercial vehicles, what BMIMI as part of the strategic initiative to promote e-mobility in Austria.

"Emove Austria" bundles several measures to strengthen e-mobility in Austria, including the expansion of the charging infrastructure and the switch to emission-free drives on buses and trucks. The program provides for almost half a billion euros in the years 2025 and 2026, with a special focus on the (quick) charging infrastructure. These are the programs "ECHARGE" for public charging infrastructure, as well as "Ebus" and "Etruck", which support the transition to emission-free drives in local public transport and in truck traffic.

strategic goals and extensions

A targeted goal is that 95 percent of Austrians can reach a quick charging station within 10 kilometers by 2030. This will be particularly important in rural areas, where the expansion of the charging infrastructure is urgently required. In 2026, 30 million euros are already scheduled for low charging stations. ASFINAG is also working on the simplification of the expansion of the charging infrastructure in coordination with mineral oil companies.

The Federal Ministry of Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure has formulated clear guidelines to enable the * Epiremia * and similar subsidies for electric vehicles. This includes, for example, the compensation of electricity for electric vehicle owners used once a year. These framework conditions are designed to facilitate the switch to electric vehicles and to support the decision -makers in implementing climate -friendly measures. Information on funding and requirements can also be accessed online, which further simplifies access to e -mobility ([oesterreich.gv.at] (https://www.oesterreich.at/de/thema/mobilitaet/elektrotroautos_und_e_mobilitaet/ page.4320020)).

Overall, Austria's engagement shows in e-mobility that not only ecological goals are pursued here, but also prospects for economic development are created. The “Emove Austria” program is a central element of this strategy and relies on sustainable mobility for the future.
