Starting on February 5, the Ministry of Environment (Minister Han Hanae) and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance (Minister Hong Nam-ki) will expand and reorganize the support project for early scrapping of old diesel vehicles with an emission of grade 5 this year.
The anticipated scrapping of old diesel vehicles this year increased from 300,000 to 340,000 last year, and the upper limit of the subsidy per vehicle was raised from 3 million won to 6 million won for old diesel vehicles that are difficult to take action. to reduce emissions.
In addition, additional subsidies are also given to scrapped vehicle owners for the purchase of used cars of grades 1 to 2 (electric, hydrogen, hybrid, gasoline, LPG, etc.).
The early scrapping of old diesel vehicles is a project to fundamentally reduce the old diesel vehicles themselves, which are the source of air pollutants such as ultrafine dust.
This year’s early scrapping support project is to compensate for restrictions on the rights of movement due to restrictions on the operation of old diesel vehicles, such as the seasonal fine dust management system, and the main contents are as follows.
The maximum amount of support for early scrapping for vehicles that cannot be equipped with an emission reduction device among old diesel exhaust class 5 vehicles with a gross weight of less than 3.5 tons, or that are owned of livelihoods, business owners and small businesses, has increased from 3 million won to 6 million won.

Also, considering that most of the old diesel car owners prefer to buy used cars after scrapping due to low income brackets, a subsidy (30% of the maximum total subsidy, up to 1.8 million won) is given to the used cars (electric cars). , electric cars, etc. It is also paid with the purchase of hydrogen, hybrid, gasoline, LPG vehicles, etc.
Initially, 70% of the standard price calculated by the Korea Insurance Development Institute (maximum 2.1 million won) was provided for early scrapping, and 30% (up to 900,000 won) of additional subsidy was provided when purchasing. new vehicles other than diesel vehicles.
The reorganization of the subsidy system is expected to reduce the repurchase rate of diesel vehicles and increase the effect of improving the air environment.
Starting on February 5, local governments across the country will announce plans to support early scrapping of vehicles by local governments, and the Korea Automotive Environment Association will act as agent for the supporting project.
Applications for early scrapping support projects can be mailed or faxed to local governments and the Korea Automobile Environmental Association, and on the website of the automobile emissions rating system (hereinafter “Nurijip” ).
If you apply for early scrapping on the website, you do not need to submit a request to confirm payment of the early scrapping subsidy and you can receive a text message by mobile phone after the application.
Inquiries regarding subsidy support applications can be directed through the advice office (Korea Automobile Environment Association call center, 1577-7121), and related information can also be found in each advertisement. of the local government.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of the Environment decided to cooperate with local governments to provide priority support to vehicles trapped in the second seasonal fine dust management system (December 2020 to March 2021) as the objective of the early scrapping support project of vehicles captured in the fifth class. Vehicle operating restrictions in the metropolitan area.
During the two months of validity of the second seasonal management system (December 1, 2020 – January 31, 2021), a total of 38,172 vehicles were detected in the offensive to limit the operation of class 5 vehicles in the metropolitan area, from of which 8,925 were found to have participated in low contamination measures.
In fact, a total of 29,247 vehicles that will be imposed are the figure excluding 8,925 vehicles excluded from the execution as the application of low emission measures of the detected vehicles.
By region, there were 17,370 units in Seoul, 2,657 units in Incheon, and 9,220 units in Gyeonggi.
In Seoul, more vehicles have been detected than in Incheon and Gyeonggi, as Seoul also includes fifth-class vehicles that cannot be equipped with an emission reduction system (DPF) when requesting low-pollution measures.
Air Environmental Policy Officer Kim Seung-hee from the Ministry of the Environment said: “We will do our best to reduce the fine dust emitted by cars, as well as to support the vulnerable by promoting the improved subsidy system. for early scrapping without a problem. “
