Plan VIVE, a joint project between Spain’s
ministry of public work and transport (Ministerio de Fomento), and
the state financial agency, Official Institute of Credit (ICO),
aims to improve the efficiency of the fleet and to reduce
pollution.
It launched last year, and has financed 755
leasing agreements worth €143m for the purchase of new buses in the
past 12 months. There were 271 agreements in 2009, amounting to
business worth more than €48 million.
Additionally, there will now be 0 percent
interest on the first €70,000 or €130,000 of the purchase price
(for passenger vehicles with more than 8 seats and weighing up to 5
tonnes, and for vehicles of more than 5 tonnes respectively).
