Incheon City Provides 7 Million KRW Support for Switching Children's School Transport Vehicles to LPG Cars

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City is investing a budget of about 1.5 billion KRW this year to supply LPG children’s school vehicles, providing a subsidy of 7 million KRW per vehicle for a total of 214 vehicles.

To receive support, one must scrap a diesel vehicle registered in Incheon City and purchase a new small LPG children’s school vehicle (a small van with 9 to 15 seats) to be used as a children’s school vehicle.

However, as a special case, applications for the project can be made regardless of scrapping status until December 31 of this year.

The city plans to accept applications and select priorities on a first-come, first-served basis. Selected applicants must submit a new vehicle purchase contract within 30 days from the notification date and apply for the subsidy within 90 days.

When claiming the subsidy, the address on the children’s school vehicle registration certificate and the application area must be the same. Applicants can submit via the vehicle emission grade system website, visit Incheon City in person, or send by registered mail.

An official from Incheon City said, "Last year, subsidies for converting school vehicles to LPG vehicles were provided to 150 businesses," and added, "We hope many citizens will participate so that the spread of eco-friendly low-emission vehicles can expand."
