The Car Scrappage Program in the last three months facilitated the purchase of 371 cars with technologies that emit less than 100g / km, compared to 60 sold in the period from January to May, when the program was not active, says the Ministry of Environment, quoted by Mediafax.

So far, over 60% of the 20,000 tickets allocated to individuals through the incentive the National Program for Renewal of the Car Park renewal have been depleted, the ministry also said. Last year, the total number of clean cars purchased through the Scrappage Program bonuses was only 38.

This year, the Scrappage Program was set up with differentiated eco-bonuses, which, like last year, plus the scrapping premium worth 6,500 lei, with the possibility of aggregation of up to two eco-bonuses to purchase a vehicle. Thus, it offers an eco-bonus worth 750 lei to purchase a new vehicle whose engine generates an amount of CO2 emissions below 100 g / km, an eco-bonus of 1,500 lei to purchase a new vehicle with hybrid propulsion system (conventional hybrid technology) and an eco-bonus of 2,500 lei worth buying a new hybrid electric vehicle (advanced technology plug-in type).

Further, the Ministry of Environment proposes a grant of 20,000 lei to purchase an electric vehicle and 5,000 lei to purchase a hybrid electric vehicle with external power supply that generates an amount of CO2 emissions of less than 50g / km, shows a draft legislative. The funds will come from the Environment Fund. At the end of April, the Chairman of the Environment Fund Administration (AFM), Adrian Gearâp, supported also a funding session for placement of charging plugs, recalled Mediafax.
