Scrappage of Old Cars Increases

The number of vehicles scrapped in the fiscal 2021-22 has exceeded 30,000 vehicles and according to an official, the number of cars scrapped in the second half of the current fiscal year (ending March 20) is higher year-on-year. 
“Unfortunately, the non-implementation of laws and regulations for scrapping used cars in recent years has idled scrappage centers, but with the follow-up of the new Transportation and Fuel Department’s CEO, the scrappage process improved in the second half,” secretary of the Association of Scrappage and Recycling Centers said.
“A total of 34,000 worn-out cars were scrapped in the current fiscal year [ending March 20], which shows a significant rise compared to the scrappage of 7,000 old cars in the fiscal 2020-21,” Amir Ahmadi was also quoted as saying by Khabar Khodro.
The official announced that a new plan for scrapping old cars has been submitted to Iran Energy Exchange (IRENEX), which has been approved by the ministries of oil and economy, IRENEX and Majlis Industries and Mines Commission.
