Ulsan City Operates Vehicle Carbon Point System... Recruiting 230 Vehicles

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Ju Cheol-in] Ulsan City announced on the 20th that it will officially implement the '2020 Automobile Carbon Point System,' which evaluates eco-friendly driving performance such as reduced vehicle mileage and provides incentives.

The Automobile Carbon Point System is an expansion of the carbon point system currently applied to households and commercial establishments, extended to the automobile sector. The Ministry of Environment introduced this system in 2017 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a culture of eco-friendly driving, conducting a pilot operation for three years until last year.

From this year, local governments will officially operate this system. Starting from the 27th, the city will recruit 230 vehicles registered in Ulsan on a first-come, first-served basis to participate in the Automobile Carbon Point System.

The recruitment targets non-commercial passenger cars and vans (under 12 seats), including gasoline, diesel, and LPG vehicles. Applications can be made on the Automobile Carbon Point System website. Greenhouse gas reduction performance is calculated by registering dashboard photos at the start and end of participation on the website, comparing past mileage. The city plans to provide incentives up to 100,000 KRW in Ulsan Pay based on mileage reduction performance.

An official from Ulsan City said, "We hope that active participation in the Automobile Carbon Point System by citizens will reduce greenhouse gases and also decrease fine dust."
