Background
In Hong Kong, the transport sector, including road and marine transport, was the largest air pollution source in 2019. It accounted for about 46% of the local fine suspended particulates and 52% of nitrogen oxides. The sector is also responsible for about 18% of local greenhouse gas emissions. The exhaust emissions of motor vehicles are also the main cause of roadside air pollution.
To help improve air quality and reduce carbon emissions, thereby helping to avert global climate change, the Government put in place a $300 million Pilot Green Transport Fund (PGTF) to subsidise the transport trade and charitable/non-profit making organisations to try out green innovative transport technologies in March 2011.
To further encourage trial and wider use of green innovative transport technologies, the Government injected additional $800 million to the fund to extend its scope as below in 2020 and renamed the PGTF as the “New Energy Transport Fund” (“NET Fund”) in September of the same year:
(i) Applications under the original scope of the PGTF are categorised as “Applications for Trial” (“AT”) and detailed conditions of subsidy are also refined;
(ii) A new section of “Applications for Use” (“AU”) is created to subsidise the transport sector and charitable/non-profit making organisations to directly procure products of the technologies that have been proved under the AT to be relatively mature and suitable for adoption locally.
In order to utilise the Fund more effectively to promote the green transformation of the entire transport sector, the Steering Committee in April 2024 supported the Secretariat to further enhance the subsidy framework of the Fund, including the adoption of a merit-based approach in vetting applications, revising the subsidy arrangement, enhancement of the management of trial projects and tightening the arrangement of the transfer of subsidised products or company shares, so as to maximise the benefits.
Applications for Trial (AT)
Eligibility for Application
Eligible Applicants
An AT applicant must be an existing transport operator based in Hong Kong (including cross-boundary transport) who:
- operates commercial transport tools including goods vehicles (including special purpose vehicles), taxis, light buses, buses, vessels, motorcycles, non-road vehicles (applicable to vehicle models approved by the Transport Department or the Airport Authority Hong Kong), or the aforesaid transport tools of charitable/non-profit making organisations providing services to their clients;
- has been in the relevant transport service for more than two years with supporting documents to show at least two-year ownership/use of the conventional counterpart of the green innovative technology product proposed for trial;
- will likely remain in the service after the trial to bear fruit;
- has the potential to put the new technology under test into wider use in its own operation upon successful trial;
- will apply to install its own charging station in the same application, or will use available charging stations in the market, to support daily charging of the subsidised product if it is an electric ones;
- is willing to share with other operators the findings of the test of subsidised product;
- is not receiving or has not received funding from other Government sources, public bodies or charitable organisations for the same purpose of the application, except the tax incentive schemes to encourage the use of electric vehicles and environment-friendly commercial vehicles;
- is not a supplier or manufacturer of green innovative technology product proposed for trial, or its related companies*.
* : "Related Companies" under the NET Fund is defined as:
(i) a holding company which directly owns more than 50% shares of an applicant;
(ii) a subsidiary company with more than 50% shares directly owned by the holding company in (i); and
(iii) a subsidiary company with more than 50% shares directly owned by the applicant.
Please refer to Coverage of [Related Companies] 
In order to allow more operators to participate in the trial of green innovative transport technologies, if applicants with common director(s) or reserve director(s) submit applications on the same type of green innovative transportation technology, the Steering Committee will only consider either one application. If different types of green innovative transport technologies are involved, applicants may submit separate applications for the Steering Committee’s consideration.
The AT applicant will be required to provide supplementary information on its director(s) or shareholder(s) in the application form. For instance, if any of its director(s) or shareholder(s) is employed in other companies and whether such companies have applied or are applying NET Fund, etc., this supplementary information will be considered by the Steering Committee in vetting the application.
Technologies Supported
AT subsidises trial of green innovative transport technology which:
- works on sound scientific principles;
- outperforms its conventional counterpart by emitting significantly less air pollutant or greenhouse gas, or demonstrating much better fuel economy. However, regular upgrading of emission performance of conventional fossil fuel transport tools in accordance with the prevailing international standards (e.g. European standards) should not generally be qualified for application;
- has not been commonly or widely used for day-to-day operation in the relevant transport trade locally;
- is affordable to the transport trades in respect of capital and operation costs;
- is likely able to cope with the local operating conditions such as hilly terrain, hot and humid climate, intensity of operation, etc.;
- does not violate any statutory requirements such as roadworthiness, fire safety, etc. and can satisfy the approval requirements of the relevant regulatory authorities;
- is not for research purpose; and
- is not covered under the Applications for Use of the NET Fund.
The products to be subsidised for commercial transport may involve:
- new energy vehicles or vessels such as electric vehicles or vessels, hybrid vessels, plug-in hybrid vessels, etc.;
- after-treatment emission reduction devices applicable to vehicles or vessels such as diesel particulate filters, selective catalytic reduction devices, exhaust gas recirculation systems, wet scrubbers, etc.;
- fuel saving devices applicable to vehicles or vessels; or
- conversion of in-use conventional (e.g. petrol, diesel or liquefied petroleum gas) vehicles or vessels to new energy vehicles or vessels.
With reference to the government's policy to promote zero-emission vehicles, the Steering Committee agreed to remove hybrid vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles from the list of products to be subsidised, so as to focus the resources on trial of new energy transport technologies with zero roadside emission.
As technology continues to develop, green innovative technology products other than the above may also be available for trial by the transport sectors. The Steering Committee will consider such applications on a case-by-case basis.
Subsidy Level
AT of new energy transport products (vehicles and vessels) only subsidises the capital cost of the hardware of the green innovative technology product proposed for trial. For AT of retrofitting conventional transport tools (diesel, petrol or liquefied petroleum gas vehicles and vessels), in addition to the capital cost of the hardware, the subsidy also includes the conversion and installation cost. AT does not subsidise the associated recurrent expenditure. Please refer to the Table below for the subsidy level of various technologies.
An applicant is allowed to submit more than one application to try out different technologies or to test products from different suppliers for the same technology under the same application to compare performance subject to the caps in the Table. The total AT subsidy for each applicant and its related companies is capped at $12 million. The cap cannot be combined with the subsidy cap of $12 million for Applications for Use of the NET Fund, and vice versa.

The Secretariat will normally be able to complete assessing an application in one to two months and report the outcome to the Steering Committee for deliberation if all the requested information is properly provided in the application. However, a longer time may be required should there be many applications awaiting the vetting or the application involves a technology or issues that require more time to consider. The Secretariat will notify the applicant before the Steering Committee considers the application.
With the increasing popularity of electric commercial vehicles in the mainland and overseas, and that their payload, range and charging speed have also been greatly improved, the operational needs of the trade could be met in general. A merit-based approach has been included to the technical assessment of application (i.e. based on the characteristics of the trial, the potential environmental benefits it can bring, how the trial results can promote the applicant and the trade in adopting electric commercial vehicles, as well as assist the Government in policy formulation) to evaluate whether the applications should be supported, so as to utilise the Fund more effectively to promote the green transformation of the entire transport sector.
Furthermore, to allow more operators to participate in the trial of green innovative transport technologies, the Steering Committee recommended that applicants and companies / organisations with common director(s) or reserve director(s) can only submit new application for testing out the same type of green innovative transport technology six months after completion of their previous trial.
The Government reserves the right to reject an application on the grounds that the applicant has engaged, is engaging, or is reasonably believed to have engaged or be engaging in acts or activities that are likely to cause or constitute the occurrence of offences endangering national security or otherwise the exclusion is necessary in the interest of national security, or is necessary to protect the public interest of Hong Kong, public morals, public order or public safety.
Subsidy Agreement
After an application has been approved, the applicant, as the subsidy recipient, must sign an agreement with the Government and shall comply with all the agreement terms and conditions for receiving the AT subsidy from the NET Fund. Attached below is a sample agreement for reference. In the final agreement to be signed between the successful applicant and the Government, the Government may revise the terms to cater for the situations of the subject application and the relevant recommendations of the Steering Committee.
