Daejeon Eases Eligibility Requirements for Children's School Bus LPG Conversion Program

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jung Ilwoong] The city of Daejeon is easing the eligibility requirements for its LPG conversion program for children's school buses in order to encourage more vehicle owners to participate.

According to the city on August 26, the relaxation of requirements centers on removing restrictions related to vehicle age and changing the timing for scrapping old vehicles and registering new ones.

First, the city will eliminate the previous restriction that limited eligibility to vehicles registered before December 31, 2011. In addition, the requirement that owners scrap their old vehicles and register new ones only after being selected as program beneficiaries will be relaxed. Now, vehicle owners who have scrapped their vehicles and completed the registration of a new vehicle within two months prior to selection will also be eligible for support.

Eligible recipients will receive a fixed subsidy of 5 million won, with selection made on a first-come, first-served basis. Vehicle owners must submit the application documents by mail to the city's Fine Dust Response Division, and will be notified of their selection status within 14 days.

Afterwards, they must submit a new vehicle purchase contract, deregister their old vehicle, and register the new LPG vehicle within two months in order to claim the subsidy.

For further details regarding the children's school bus LPG conversion program, refer to the announcement posted on the city's website (search for 'children' in the website's search bar) or contact the Fine Dust Response Division for guidance.

Kim Changil, head of the Fine Dust Response Division, stated, "We urge vehicle owners to show active interest and participate in the program," adding, "The city will continue its efforts to reduce fine dust in the region."
