The Eco Fund is to publish this year's tenders in February, and individuals, the state, local communities and companies will be eligible to apply.

Since 2011, the fund has made available 1.8 million euros in grants for e-cars, while it has actually paid out 1.1 million euros for the purchase or remodelling of 274 vehicles.

Apart from the grants, the fund also made available 15 million euros in low-interest loans for environmental investments.
