According to car dealers, it was expected that the bonus would be reduced, but that it was removed completely came as a shock to many.
– Remove it completely, we had no idea, says Fredrik Björk, car dealer in Norrköping.
Today, several thoughtful customers are calling when it is the last day to use the climate bonus when buying a car. Many callers wonder how the decision can be implemented so quickly. From getting 70 thousand to now zero kroner at the time of purchase, many people want to sign the purchase agreement as soon as possible.
– Many people get in touch. Both those who want to buy a car now and then we have those who ordered cars last year who are worried about whether it could affect them. But there we can provide reassuring information that the rules that applied then still apply.
Convinced of a sale of a hundred cars
Up until Tuesday evening, sales were up to 60 cars, a number that will rise to a hundred when the evening is over, says Fredrik Björk. He admits that sales went well today but that there was no time to prepare.
– In the past, the car industry usually held that it was registration that applied, but now it is sales, i.e. purchase agreement. So customers must place an order for the car today to get the bonus.
