While public incentive plans for electric mobility (such as MOVES III) are progressing slowly or are simply exhausted in many communities, the Stellantis group - owner of brands such as Peugeot, Citroën, Opel and Fiat Professional - has launched an initiative that many drivers are still unaware of, but which is already making a difference in its dealerships: the CAE program, based on the Energy Savings Certificates. It is not a state subsidy or a one-off promotion, but rather a mechanism regulated by the Government of Spain which recognizes and quantifies the energy savings generated by certain actions. In this case, replacing a combustion vehicle with an electric one.

Stellantis has been the first major automotive group to transfer this system to commercial practice, integrating it into its sales operations so that the customer receives a direct bonus of up to €1.000, without additional procedures, without waiting, and compatible with any other current public aid. In the company's own words, it is "a way to transform energy efficiency into real and immediate savings for the customerAnd, judging by the results, it works: the dealer network now automatically applies the CAE to every transaction that meets the requirements.

How the CAE works (and why Stellantis handles it for you)

The Energy Saving Certificates (CAE) These are certificates that certify a reduction in final energy consumption. Every time a company or individual replaces a thermal vehicle with an electric one, an "energy saving" is generated that can be certified and monetized.

In practice, Stellantis manages this process in an integral way: the buyer gives up the right to energy savings that generates your change of vehicle, and the brand validated before the competent bodies, returning that certification to the client in the form of direct bonus.

The figure, set at up to €1.000 per transaction, is automatically deducted upon signing the purchase. The customer doesn't have to process anything or wait months for the payment. Everything is resolved at the dealership itself, as part of the invoice.

A perfect complement to the MOVES Plan

The appeal of the CAE program lies not only in its simplicity. It also lies in the fact that It is compatible with the MOVES III Plan and with any other regional or local aid. That is, the client can benefit of MOVES + CAE simultaneously, accumulating both incentives.

This makes it an especially useful tool for those in communities where MOVES payments have been exhausted or are behind. The CAE does not depend on public budgets: It is a private but official system, validated by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and managed by accredited entities.

Why Stellantis Leads It

Stellantis has deployed this system across its entire network of brands —Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Fiat Professional— with special focus on their electric commercial vehicles, a segment where electrification is advancing rapidly and where every euro difference counts.

From small urban vans like the Citroen ë-Berlingo and Peugeot e-Partner, up to larger capacity models such as the Opel Vivaro-e and Fiat E-Scudo, all of them can benefit from this bonus.

In parallel, the company seeks facilitate the transition of self-employed workers and companies towards zero-emission fleets, offering real and tangible advantages: direct savings, reduced maintenance and full access to low-emission zones.
