De-minimis – apply now for funding

The new period for De-minimis funding by the Federal Office for Freight Transport (BAG) for commercial vehicles in road haulage started on January 7, 2020. Various measures to optimize your fleet with regad to safety and the environment are eligible. Investments in TELEMATICS systems are also eligible for up to 2,000 euros per commercial vehicle. This also includes efficiency-optimizing measures such as telematics systems and software for displaying, evaluating, managing and archiving the data from the digital tachograph – applications that TIS GmbH also offers.

As part of the De-minimis funding, the BAG assumes a maximum cost share of 80% of the total costs for eligible measures.
A maximum funding amount of EUR 33,000 per year (or EUR 100,000 in three successive tax years) is possible per company.

Important note: Apply for funding BEFORE you order hardware or software for the implementation of your planned measure or receive an order confirmation. This is one of the basic requirements for a positive decision by the BAG. AFTER you have received approval for funding, you can place your order for products and solutions, such as TIS products, for your fleet immediately, without jeopardizing your funding.

New: The nature of planned measures or planned investments does no longer have to be specified when applying for funding!

You have time to decide what you want to use the funding for until you have received a positive decision from the BAG.
