This expansion brings the total number of beneficiary municipalities to 105 across both programme phases, enhancing emergency preparedness in areas with difficult access. Under the Local Governments Network Plan 2024–2027, the second phase of the programme will deliver vehicles to 49 additional municipalities. Eligibility includes towns with 20,000 or more residents, and smaller towns under 20,000 that host registered civil protection volunteer associations and did not receive a vehicle in the first round. --- ### Full Turnkey Delivery Funded by Provincial Council The 2.2 million euro budget allocated for this phase forms part of a total 4.8 million euro investment across both editions. Each 4x4 vehicle has an estimated value of 45,000 euros, including VAT. The Barcelona Provincial Council will cover all pre-delivery costs, including purchase, registration, homologation, signage, and necessary adaptations, delivering the vehicles on a 'turnkey' basis. > These vehicles are essential for responding to emergencies in forested and rural areas where standard vehicles cannot operate effectively. The initiative addresses longstanding requests from town councils for vehicles capable of navigating forest roads, rural tracks, and remote terrain. The 4x4s will improve response during adverse weather, wildfires, and other emergencies requiring rapid deployment of municipal services. ### Local Commitments and Delivery Timeline Beneficiary councils must formally accept the grant and assume responsibility for ongoing costs from the point of delivery, including insurance, maintenance, inspections, and tax obligations. Vehicle deliveries are scheduled for 2027\. The programme supports territorial equity by assisting smaller municipalities with fewer resources. It aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and 13 (Climate Action), reflecting the council’s commitment to resilience and climate adaptation.
