Participants of Worn-Out Vehicle Replacement Plan Facing Hurdles

People who sought to replace their worn-out vehicles with new cars through the Worn-Out Car Replacement Plan are facing numerous problems, as the old scheme no longer works and the new program is still undeveloped, according to the secretary of Iran’s Scrapping and Recycling Centers Association.
“After the approval of the Law on Automobile Industry Regulation, Iran’s Fuel and Transportation Headquarters’ portal was blocked on Jan. 30. As a result, people who had participated in the Worn-Out Car Replacement Plan could not continue the process of scrapping their worn-out car,” Amir Ahmadi was also quoted as saying by Tasnim News Agency.
“The portal for the replacement plan belonged to Iran’s Fuel and Transportation Headquarters, but after the approval of the law, it was transferred to the Ministry of Industries, Mining and Trade that developed a completely new program. Unfortunately, this transition took place at a time when many people had not completed their procedures in the old scheme and were asked to register in the new program,” he added.
