The Merlo telescopic handler range offers two ways to benefit from tax credits under the “Transition Plan 5.0”, introduced by Italian Law Decree 19/2024 on March 2, 2024. Businesses can either. Replace an outdated machine with a Stage V-compliant Merlo handler equipped with Industry 4.0 technology invest in an all-electric “eWorker” model without needing to retire an existing machine
Funded by Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the Transition Plan 5.0 grants tax credits to companies investing in energy-saving innovations between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2025. Eligible projects must achieve:
A 3% reduction in overall energy consumption
A 5% reduction in specific production processes
This incentive is cumulative with other national and EU grants, and its base tier, particularly relevant to the agriculture sector, supports investments of up to €10 million, offering tax credits of 35%, 40%, or 45%, depending on the achieved energy savings.
Two Ways to Maximize Your Tax Credit with Merlo handerl
The most traditional approach is to trade in an old machine for a Merlo Stage V-compliant telescopic handler—whether from the MultiFarmer, Panoramic, or TurboFarmer series.
- No need to prove energy savings if the replaced machine has been in use for at least two years
- Automatic eligibility for a 35% tax credit with the possibility to qualify for higher rates (40% or 45%) by demonstrating greater energy efficiency
- Industry 4.0 compliance through seamless interconnection with business management software
