Vehicle replacement aid: check your eligibility
The scheme listed by Clermont Auvergne Métropole concerns replacing or upgrading vehicles used by professionals in the context of the low-emission zone (ZFE). The catalogue targets businesses and associations with fewer than 50 employees established in the area and mentions polluting commercial vehicles, notably Crit’Air 5 or unclassified. The vehicle categories, treatment of purchases and leases, the scale and current opening are not confirmed by a specific regulatory source. No amount should be extrapolated from other ZFE aid.
Replacing a polluting commercial vehicle can be a major cost for a small business, especially when it must keep serving customers or carrying equipment in a low-emission zone. Clermont Auvergne Métropole has listed aid linked to this type of transition. The catalogue fiche cites businesses and associations with fewer than 50 employees and several types of vehicle, but confirms neither the scale nor the categories currently eligible. Before buying or leasing a vehicle, check that the scheme is still active and that the chosen model meets the rules in force.

Who can apply
The catalogue mentions businesses and associations with fewer than 50 employees established and active in the Clermont Auvergne Métropole area, using a polluting commercial vehicle.

Eligibility conditions
The headcount thresholds, area, vehicle categories, ownership/business use obligation, eligible replacement vehicles and combination rules must be confirmed with the manager. Do not rely on an amount without updated rules.
What the scheme covers
The fiche lists buying or leasing certain low-emission vehicles, including cargo bikes, scooters, commercial vehicles and small heavy goods vehicles. It also cites diesel vehicles, which requires careful checking against the current ZFE rules. Do not treat any vehicle category or purchase as eligible without explicit confirmation from the manager.
Amount and funding terms

Present the business, the vehicle used, its Crit’Air sticker and the planned replacement vehicle. 3. Have the model’s eligibility, the type of operation allowed and the supporting documents required confirmed. 4.
