Road transport
In the front line, at least regarding the amount of resources, is the tax credit dedicated to road transport, with the first 300 million just receiving the green light from the EU commission, considering it in line with the temporary framework of state aid linked to the crisis in the Middle East (Metsaf). Meanwhile, the latest decree law introduced to cut excise duties on diesel during the peak summer exodus for motorists (Dl 133/2026) has added a further chip to the benefit: 22 million, thus raising the total ceiling to 322 million euros. And not only that, because the benefit has been extended to cover the higher costs incurred in July.
A measure that follows the path of previous interventions introduced by the Government but also by Parliament. In the conversion of the third excise decree, in fact, approval was given to extend the benefit beyond freight road transport companies, also to passenger road transport companies and to bus rental companies with drivers with vehicles in Euro 5 and Euro 6 classes.

The first implementing piece to define the framework of the benefit was set by the interministerial decree of Infrastructure and Transport in agreement with Economy and with Environment and Energy Security. It is a decree dated May 23, therefore prior to the extension of the subjective perimeter to passenger road transport, and published in the «Official Gazette» on July 21.
The main operational details of the requests are entrusted to a Mit directoral decree but the opening of the application channel on a platform managed by the Customs and Monopolies Agency (Adm) is expected starting from September with a window that, according to what has been anticipated by some trade associations and pending official communications on the matter, could run from the 1st to the 15th. There will be no click day and the amount of the tax credit can cover up to 70% of the higher expenditure incurred from March to July (after Dl 133) compared to the average diesel price recorded by the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security for February 2026.
