[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporters Yongwoo Kim and Gwiyul Kim] Andong City will accept additional applications for the early scrapping support for old diesel vehicles and new LPG cargo truck purchase support project for five days from the 13th to the 17th to reduce fine dust.

The eligible vehicles for early scrapping support are diesel vehicles classified as emission grade 5 and three types of road construction machinery (dump trucks, concrete mixer trucks, concrete pump trucks). The vehicle must have been owned and registered in Andong City for more than six months and must not have been equipped with emission reduction devices or converted to low-emission engines through government support.

When applying, applicants must bring their ID and vehicle registration certificate and visit the administrative welfare center of the town, township, or neighborhood office that has jurisdiction over their address and vehicle usage location. If the vehicle is under 3.5 tons, the vehicle must be brought along.

If selected, vehicles under 3.5 tons can receive support up to 3 million KRW, and depending on the vehicle type and model, 50% or 70% of the standard price will be supported.

Additional support is provided when scrapping old diesel vehicles and purchasing vehicles of grade 1 or 2 that are not diesel. When purchasing zero-emission vehicles, a fixed amount of 500,000 KRW is supported, and when purchasing a new LPG 1-ton cargo truck, 2 million KRW is provided. If planning to purchase a new vehicle, the application must be submitted together with the early scrapping application.

An Andong City official said, "Since the additional application period for the second half of the year is slightly earlier, we ask that you apply within the period."
