The support targets are ▲ diesel vehicles rated Grade 4 or 5 for emissions ▲ three types of road-use construction machines (dump trucks, concrete mixer trucks, concrete pump trucks) manufactured before August 31, 2009, under the applicable emission standards ▲ forklifts or excavators manufactured before 2004 equipped with Tier-1 or lower engines.

Among Grade 4 diesel vehicles, those equipped with a reduction device (DPF) at the time of shipment are also included in the support targets starting this year.

Eligibility requirements include ▲ continuous registration in Jangseong-gun as the primary place of use for more than six months as of the application date ▲ passing the regular inspection with a ‘suitable’ judgment ▲ vehicles that are operable.

However, Grade 5 vehicles that have received government support for attaching emission reduction devices or have been converted to low-emission engines are not eligible for support.

Applications can be submitted from the 6th to the 29th by visiting the Environmental Division of the county office in person, by mail, or through the online ‘Comprehensive Vehicle Emission Computer System.’

If selected as a support target, applicants can receive scrapping subsidies and additional vehicle purchase subsidies within the upper limit.

The support amount varies depending on the vehicle type and age. Those subject to environmental improvement charges must fully pay any outstanding environmental improvement charges and local taxes after vehicle deregistration before receiving the subsidy.
