The acquisition of the trailer must be proven to the granting authority two months after purchase and by December 31, 2021 at the latest. According to the BAG, "acquisition" means that the applicant must be the owner or lessee of the vehicle. It is important to note that the vehicle must remain in the applicant's ownership for at least 24 months or be leased for 24 months. A prerequisite for the subsidization of intelligent trailer technology is the simultaneous purchase of a brand-new truck that meets the requirements of the current Euro VI emissions standard or is electric or hydrogen-powered if an existing truck with Euro 0 to Euro V/EEV emissions standards is scrapped at the same time.

Large selection of green trailers

Kögel offers all transport and logistics companies a range of eligible equipment as part of the fleet renewal program. The additional costs incurred by creating the conditions for using a trailer in combined transport are also subsidized. The range of rail-loadable trailers eligible for subsidies is diverse. In addition to the Kögel Cargo, Kögel Cargo Coil and Kögel Mega curtainsider versions, the Kögel Box box trailer is also available for rail loading. The rail-loadable Kögel Cargo Rail scores highly in terms of body height and rail codification, as the double codification enables the use of different rail routes with the same vehicle thanks to the optional FlexiUse body. Other eligible equipment includes OptiTire (tire pressure monitoring), Tire Pilot (tire pressure monitoring and control), the electronically controlled air suspension system OptiLevel (ECAS), the dynamic wheelbase control OptiLoad & OptiTurn and, in the "aerodynamic attachments" category, the OptiFlow Side Wings. All of the products presented fall under the funding guidelines of the 2021 fleet renewal program.
