The Tasmanian Government will be providing grants to small businesses that purchase new battery electric delivery vans.
Applications for the Tasmanian Government’s Deliver-e Small Business Grant Program will open on Thursday 6 February 2025 at 10am.
Deliver-e supports small businesses to purchase new battery electric delivery vans for short to medium length delivery of goods and services. The program encourages Tasmanian businesses to reduce their transport emissions by replacing internal combustion engine delivery vans with electric alternatives.
Eligible Tasmanian small businesses can access grants of $20,000 for new battery electric delivery vans. Total funding of $300,000 is available. Applications will close when the funding is fully allocated.
It is important for Dealers to note that:
- Dealers are not required to process applications or provide a rebate; the application is made to the Department of State Growth.
- Small businesses must complete an online application form and provide a quotation for the battery electric delivery van on their application.
- To be eligible the vehicles must be new BEV delivery vans.
- If the application is approved, the business must provide proof of a deposit of at least 10 per cent for the van.
- This proof will need to be provided before the grant can be paid to the small business’s bank account.
Please see the attached factsheet for a brief overview of the program and for contact information at ReCFIT.
