Daejeon City Supports Installation of 'Emission Reduction Devices' on 221 Diesel Vehicles

Daejeon City announced on the 8th that it will implement a support project for attaching emission reduction devices to diesel vehicles classified as Grade 5 emission vehicles.

The project will be carried out by accepting applications from the 11th to the 29th of this month and supporting up to 90% of the cost of attaching reduction devices for 221 vehicles.

Applications can be made directly by owners of Grade 5 diesel vehicles registered in Daejeon through the Comprehensive Vehicle Emission Computer System website.

Selection of recipients prioritizes livelihood vehicles, commercial vehicles, vehicles with a total weight of 3.5 tons or more, and the latest model year vehicles; it is not on a first-come, first-served basis.

Vehicles that have already completed low-emission measures applications to be exempted from old diesel vehicle operation restrictions must reapply during the support device application period to participate in the project.

Vehicles selected for the project will receive guidance on appropriate device manufacturers from the Korea Automobile Environment Association, and after signing a contract with the manufacturer and paying the self-payment amount (280,000 KRW to 660,000 KRW), the emission reduction device can be installed.

For detailed information on how to apply and the support procedures, please refer to the announcement posted on the Daejeon City website or contact the Fine Dust Response Division of Daejeon City Hall.

Park Dohyun, Director of the Environment and Greenery Bureau of Daejeon City, said, “The project is being promoted to reduce emissions from diesel vehicles, which are a major cause of air pollution such as fine dust,” and added, “We hope many citizens who own old diesel vehicles will show interest and participate.”
