Bucheon City Hall

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City, Gyeonggi Province, will officially implement the Automobile Carbon Point System starting from the 27th for vehicles registered within the region.

The Automobile Carbon Point System is a program that expands the existing carbon point system, which was applied to buildings such as homes and commercial establishments to promote the reduction of greenhouse gases in daily life, to the automobile sector.

Eligible participants are non-commercial passenger cars and vans with 12 seats or fewer, excluding eco-friendly vehicles. This year, 77 vehicles will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Those wishing to participate can apply by signing up on the Automobile Carbon Point System website (https://car.cpoint.or.kr) and submitting photos of the vehicle's license plate, the odometer showing cumulative mileage, and a copy of the vehicle registration certificate.

Vehicles enrolled in the Automobile Carbon Point System this year can receive incentives ranging from a minimum of 20,000 KRW to a maximum of 100,000 KRW in cash or mobile gift certificates, depending on the reduction in driving distance. To receive the incentive, the address on the vehicle registration certificate must match the current address.

A Bucheon City official urged, "We hope many citizens will show interest and participate in the Automobile Carbon Point System, which can reduce social costs such as greenhouse gas emissions and fine dust."
