Iran's DOE Insists on Motorbike Scrappage Scheme

Iran's Department of Environment has objected the possible killing of a bill that calls for scrappage of dilapidated motorcycles. The bill is in the Majlis for approval before becoming law.
An announcement by the DOE was in response to a recent appeal by the Ministry of Industries and domestic motorcycle producers for withdrawing the bill that is in line with the Clean Air Act.
The controversial bill, if passed by parliament, will require local motorcycle makers to phase out one aged two-wheeler for each new gasoline-powered motorbike they sell.
