Czech low emission vehicle plans approved

Plans for the creation of refuelling and recharging stations for low emission vehicles in the Czech Republic have been given the go ahead by the European Commission.

According to Air Quality News, the scheme will see the support of over 44.5 million Euros available over the course of six years.

It will go towards the construction of publicly accessible recharging and refuelling stations for alternatively-fuelled vehicles and will cover the entire country.

Commissioner Margrethe Vestager told Air Quality News: “The Czech scheme is yet another good example of how Member States can contribute to the fight against global warming.

“The scheme will promote alternative fuels and reduce harmful car emissions, and will encourage consumers and businesses to use greener transportation, without distorting competition.”
