Who can apply
ADVENIR is aimed notably at professionals and local authorities with a project to install charging points. For the heavy goods vehicle and coach strand, check the exact beneficiary category, the site’s use, the access conditions and the infrastructure characteristics in the specifications in force. This entry concerns charging infrastructure, not general aid for buying the lorry or coach.
Eligibility conditions
The project must match the ADVENIR strand for heavy goods vehicles and coaches. Check the site’s eligibility, the type of charging, the power, the equipment, the installer and the compliance requirements. The bonus application must follow the programme’s official process; confirm when the application must be created in relation to the order and the works.
What the scheme covers
For this project, document the following operations precisely: charging points dedicated to heavy vehicles, grid connection, control equipment and works directly needed for the infrastructure, according to the ADVENIR specifications. For each item, attach a separate quote or a cost breakdown, the technical characteristics needed and an explanation of the link with the aid’s objective. Costs already incurred, recurring subscriptions or items not explicitly provided for must be validated before being included.
Amount and funding terms
The €50,000 amount is a reference cap to be checked, not a guaranteed flat-rate bonus. Consult the ADVENIR scale in force for infrastructure for heavy goods vehicles and coaches. A reference cap is neither a flat rate nor a promise of award. The amount depends on the costs accepted, the funding rate and the funder’s decision. Where the aid is paid as a CEE bonus, the amount may notably depend on the technical characteristics, the site’s situation and the offer of the obligated party or its delegate. Check the calculation and payment conditions before counting it as income in the budget.
How to apply
Create the application through the ADVENIR process and explicitly select the “heavy goods vehicles and coaches” strand. Have the installer draw up a detailed quote, with the number of charging points, power and cost per item. Check the specifications and scale in force before approving the quote, then keep the proof of completion and the invoices requested.
Timeline
Check the version of the CEE operation sheet in force and the written offer from the obligated party or its delegate before committing to the operation. The dates and technical criteria that apply are those in force on the commitment date.
