The Disposition 340/2026 allows up to 865 units to be reassigned, plus any additional units freed by non-compliance with nationalization deadlines. The measure aims to facilitate access to these vehicles priced under $16,000 FOB, targeting automakers and importers interested in applying. Priority is given to those who registered earlier and offered lower prices, while companies that used extensions lose priority.

This follows a previous decree (49/2025) establishing zero tariffs for alternative fuel vehicles, citing global industry trends toward cleaner technologies.
