With this measure, the Government seeks to expand the sustainable mobility offer and facilitate access to electric and hybrid vehicles at more competitive prices.
The Government implemented a New regulation that establishes the importation of electric vehicles and hybrids without tariffs, eliminating the 35% tax on the right of extrazone importation.
This measure, aimed at promoting sustainable mobility in the country, seeks to reduce the costs of these vehicles and increase their market accessibility. The decree establishes a limit of 50,000 units annually that can be imported without additional taxes, over the next five years.
This number will be divided equally Among the national automotive terminals and private importers. The initiative is part of a broader plan to promote cleaner technologies and improve transport infrastructure, aligning with global trends in sustainability.
