State Deputy Dionísio Lins (Progressista), president of the Transport Commission of the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro, presented a Bill (PL) aimed at encouraging the transition to electric and hybrid cars among taxi drivers, through discounts on ICMS. This initiative aims to promote the adoption of sustainable vehicles by this category.

Encouraging Sustainability in Taxis

The bill’s main goal is to encourage the modernization of the taxi fleet, reducing the emission of polluting gases and providing taxi drivers access to more economical and environmentally friendly vehicles. To benefit from this proposal, taxi drivers must be legalized, registered with the competent municipal agency, and have not purchased vehicles with exemption or non-incidence of ICMS in the last two years.

Restrictions and Awaiting Approval of the Bill

The PL also establishes that cars acquired with the discount can only be used as taxis, and the purchase will be limited to one vehicle per person. At the moment, the project awaits voting by the other legislators and its subsequent sanction.
