De-Minimis

**Brand Description:**

The De-Minimis Fördermittelprogramm Umweltschutz und Sicherheit, formerly known as De-Minimis, is an initiative by the Federal Office for Logistics and Mobility (BALM) aimed at supporting companies in the commercial goods transport sector. This program provides substantial annual grants of up to €2,000 per heavy vehicle (over 7.5 tons) and a maximum of €33,000 per company. The funding is designed to promote investments in environmental protection and safety measures, including vehicle upgrades, telematics, theft prevention, and driver safety equipment. Both transport and logistics firms, as well as any businesses operating heavy-duty vehicles, can benefit from the program. Since its inception, the program has become a vital resource for reducing operational costs and enhancing fleet safety. Additionally, the program offers expert consulting services to streamline the application process, providing tailored support every step of the way. For those interested, a comprehensive newsletter, the De-Minimis Depesche, offers valuable updates and insights on maximizing the program's benefits.
