The support target is applicants (including those planning to apply) who purchase new LPG vehicles with 9 to 15 seats (mid-size passenger cars or vans) registered as children’s school buses.

This year, according to special provisions, applications are possible regardless of whether the existing vehicle is scrapped, and vehicles newly registered after November 1, 2022, are also eligible for support. However, government vehicles are not eligible.

A Yeosu city official stated, “It is also possible to receive overlapping support with the early scrapping subsidy project scheduled for early March.”
