The early retirement support target vehicles are diesel vehicles with exhaust emission grades 4 and 5, and road-use type 3 construction machinery manufactured before August 31, 2009, under the applicable emission standards, which ▲ have been continuously registered in Yeongyang-gun for more than 6 months ▲ have a normal operation judgment on the early retirement target vehicle confirmation issued by the procedure agent ▲ and have not been equipped with emission reduction devices or converted to low-emission engines through government or local government support.

The old diesel vehicle early retirement support project will accept applications from February 24, and applications can be submitted by visiting the Environmental Conservation Division of Yeongyang County Office, by registered mail, or online (Vehicle Emission Grade System).

If selected as a beneficiary, support of up to 3 million KRW is available for vehicles under 3.5 tons. Additional support funds due to inability to attach reduction devices for vehicles under 3.5 tons (corresponding to grade 5) (1 million KRW for cargo and special vehicles, 600,000 KRW for other vehicles) and additional support funds (500,000 KRW) for scrapping grade 4 and 5 vehicles and newly registering zero-emission vehicles will be provided within the upper limit.

For more details, please contact the Environmental Management Team of the Environmental Conservation Division.

Oh Do-chang, the governor of Yeongyang-gun, said, “We expect that this project will greatly help reduce exhaust emissions by encouraging the scrapping of old diesel vehicles, and we ask owners of eligible vehicles to actively apply to create a pleasant air environment.”
