Uijeongbu City Begins Reception of Early Scrapping Program for Aged Diesel Vehicles

Uijeongbu City is implementing an early vehicle scrapping support program starting January 9th with a budget of 1.12 billion won this year to improve air quality.

The program targets vehicles manufactured before December 31, 2005 that either have not been equipped with emission reduction devices or have not been retrofitted with low-emission engines. Eligible vehicles must have been continuously registered in the air management jurisdiction for at least two years, the final owner must have owned the vehicle for at least six months, and the vehicle must operate normally within emission standards. Only these vehicles qualify for support.

The city plans to actively support early vehicle scrapping to reduce air pollution and create a comfortable living environment.

Vehicle owners interested in the program can apply with the Korea Automobile Environmental Association starting January 9th.
