[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong County announced on the 19th that it will start this year's fine dust reduction support projects, including the early retirement support project for old diesel vehicles, from the 22nd.

The projects to be promoted this time include four initiatives: △early retirement support for old diesel vehicles (300 units), △support for purchasing new LPG cargo trucks (10 units), △electric vehicle distribution (29 passenger cars, 9 cargo trucks), and △electric two-wheelers distribution (20 units).

The support amount for △early retirement of old diesel vehicles will be paid differentially according to weight and engine displacement based on the quarterly vehicle standards calculated by the Insurance Development Institute. Vehicles under 3.5 tons can receive up to 6 million KRW, and vehicles over 3.5 tons can receive up to 40 million KRW.

△For new LPG cargo truck purchases, a fixed amount of 4 million KRW per vehicle is provided when purchasing a new LPG cargo truck (1 ton) after scrapping a diesel vehicle. △Electric passenger car distribution provides up to 15.4 million KRW per vehicle depending on the electric battery capacity and performance, and △electric cargo trucks can receive up to 24.4 million KRW per vehicle. Electric two-wheelers can also receive subsidies ranging from 1.2 million KRW to 3.3 million KRW depending on the model.

Applications for ‘early retirement of old diesel vehicles’ and ‘new LPG cargo truck purchases’ can be made at the Environmental Ecology Division of Boseong County Office, while applications for ‘electric vehicle distribution’ and ‘electric two-wheeler distribution’ are handled at electric vehicle dealerships and sales offices.

A Boseong County official stated, “The old diesel vehicle retirement support project will continue until the end of the year, but it may close early if the budget is exhausted.” He added, “Those planning to scrap old vehicles or purchase electric vehicles should carefully check the schedule and project volume to receive the necessary benefits.”
