Even if the eco-friendly vehicle was purchased earlier this year before the application start date, retroactive support is possible.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “We provide subsidies when purchasing eco-friendly vehicles to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gases. We ask for the active participation of our residents.” He added, “Gwangjin-gu will expand eco-friendly transportation projects to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.”
