PN leader Alex Borg unveiled a series of transport and economic proposals during a Nationalist Party activity in San Pawl il-Baħar, including a new voluntary vehicle licensing scheme based on how much drivers actually use their cars.
Addressing supporters alongside PN candidates from the 12th district, Borg said the proposal is built around one simple principle: “Issuq inqas, tħallas inqas” (“Drive less, pay less”). He explained that cars driven up to 500 kilometres annually would pay no licence fee at all, while vehicles driven between 500km and 5,000km would benefit from reduced rates.
Under the proposal, drivers covering around 5,000 kilometres yearly would pay only 80% of the current licence cost, while those exceeding that amount would continue paying the normal rate. Borg described the measure as a fairer system for pensioners, hybrid and remote workers, and families who use their vehicles only when necessary.
The PN leader said the aim is to reduce the country’s average vehicle usage from over 7,000 kilometres yearly to around 5,000 kilometres in order to cut traffic and pollution while giving families “more quality time.”
During the event, Borg also highlighted proposals including lower taxes, cheaper electricity bills, investment in solar panels, AI and data industries, affordable housing schemes, and plans for a mass transport system.
