Ulsan City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulsan City is actively promoting the ‘2022 Second Half Vehicle Emission Reduction Project’ to reduce fine dust in urban areas.

The project includes support for early scrapping of Grade 5 diesel vehicles (3,000 units), purchase of LPG cargo vehicles (30 units), installation of reduction devices (700 units), and engine replacement for construction machinery (50 units).

Support projects for early scrapping and purchase of LPG cargo vehicles have been accepting applications continuously since April.

Applications for the installation of reduction devices and engine replacement for construction machinery will be accepted until July 22.

The reduction devices will be prioritized for livelihood-type (basic livelihood security recipients, etc.), commercial use, and vehicles over 3.5 tons.

For general private vehicles, newer models will be prioritized. Applications can only be submitted online.

The ‘Construction Machinery Engine Replacement Support Project,’ implemented for the first time this year, supports the replacement of engines in forklifts and excavators registered in Ulsan City as of the project announcement date, equipped with Tier 1 or lower engines, with new engines.

Applications can be submitted online or by registered mail.

Application forms are available at nearby Dong Administrative Welfare Centers, and no additional documents are required when applying online.

Detailed information can be found in the announcement posted on the Ulsan City website under public notices.

A city official stated, “Since the operation of Grade 5 emission vehicles will be restricted during high-concentration fine dust emergency reduction measures and the seasonal management system (December to March of the following year) starting December 2023, we ask for active interest and participation from citizens in reduction projects such as early scrapping of diesel vehicles.”
