The Tunge nullutslippskjøretøy program from Enova SF provides investment grants to Norwegian enterprises purchasing or leasing new heavy zero-emission vehicles. The maximum grant per vehicle is 5,000,000 NOK, and the award covers up to 60% of the additional cost of the zero-emission vehicle compared to an equivalent diesel model. Eligible vehicles must exceed 4,250 kg permitted total weight and must be zero-emission by either battery electric or hydrogen electric drivetrain. Qualifying vehicle types include electric trucks, battery and hydrogen buses, and electric minibuses. The next application deadline is 2026-06-15 at 12:00 noon.

Both vehicle operators and leasing companies that register vehicles to Norwegian enterprises are eligible to apply; nonprofits, universities, and individuals are not eligible. Applicants must be registered in the Norwegian Business Register. The program uses a competitive bidding model in which applications are ranked by cost-effectiveness—specifically, NOK of grant support requested per tonne of CO2 equivalent reduced—with the highest-value applications funded first from each monthly allocation window. Applications are typically processed within three to seven business days, and Enova publishes monthly funding allocation results.

Applicants should calculate the incremental cost above a comparable diesel alternative with care, as the 60% coverage cap applies to that cost differential rather than to the total vehicle price. Enova provides a truck cost calculator on its website to assist with this calculation. Hydrogen truck refueling infrastructure support has been discontinued, meaning battery-electric is now the dominant pathway for applicants. For enterprises with large fleets, submitting applications that demonstrate strong NOK-per-tonne-CO2 ratios—rather than simply maximizing the per-vehicle grant claim—is the key to competitive positioning.
