A government decision issued in 2018 imposes an increase on hybrid vehicles tax, reaching 35 percent in 2019, 40 percent in 2020, and 45 percent in 2021, and 55 percent in 2022.

Dealers expect that the decision will raise the price of a single vehicle between JD1,500 and 3,000, and fear a low demand by citizens on this type of vehicle, which will ultimately affect the treasury’s revenue from this sector.
