Emission Incentive or Surcharge
If your school bus has a maximum laden weight (MLW) of not more than 3.5 metric tonnes, it may qualify for additional incentives based on its emissions under the Commercial Vehicle Emissions Scheme (CVES). If your school bus is classified under Band A, you will receive a $30,000 incentive, which will be disbursed annually in equal payments to you over 3 years (i.e. $10,000 a year). If your school bus is classified under Band B, you will receive the full $10,000 incentive upfront upon registration. If your school bus is classified under Band C, the full $10,000 surcharge will be imposed upon registration. You can refer to the table below for more details on the Band A, B, and C classifications. If you are registering a school bus, for yourself or on behalf of someone else, that qualifies for Band A or B, please read the full terms and conditions pertaining to the CVES incentive. For clarifications on the CVES (such as on disbursement of CVES incentive, etc), you may send your enquires to NEA using the online feedback form.
