Romania reopens Rabla Auto 2026 program with 35 million lei

The Romanian Ministry of Environment has announced the reopening of the Rabla Auto 2026 program for individuals, starting November 3 at 10:00 AM. This new session is specifically for those who were unable to register in previous stages.

A total budget of approximately 35.4 million lei has been allocated, sourced from funds previously reserved for applications where financing procedures were not finalized. The budget is distributed across several categories:

- 25.6 million lei for new thermal engine vehicles (including LPG/GNC) and hybrid vehicles, with subsidies of 10,000 lei for thermal/LPG and 12,000 lei for hybrids. - 9.2 million lei for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, offering 18,500 lei for fully electric models and 15,000 lei for plug-in hybrids. - 550,000 lei for motorcycles, providing 10,000 lei for conventional models and 15,000 lei for electric ones.

To qualify, applicants must scrap a vehicle that is at least 8 years old. Registrations are conducted online via the Environmental Fund Administration (AFM) application and will remain open until December 31, 2026, or until funds are exhausted.
