In his Budget statement to the House of Commons on 22 April 2009, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling confirmed that the government will introduce a vehicle scrappage incentive scheme. Participation in the scrappage scheme by specific car manufacturers is voluntary. Scrappage savings apply to commercial vans (up to 3.5
A study by researchers at UC Davis suggests that a properly designed vehicle scrappage (i.e., Cash for Clunkers”) program could maximize greenhouse gas emissions savings by using fuel-economy based eligibility requirements rather than age-based requirements. Earlier post.). The one exception is the US CARS program. Allan et al.
Average new car CO 2 emissions in the UK fell by their biggest ever margin last year with the impact of recession and the Scrappage Incentive Scheme boosting the continued influence of technological advances made by vehicle manufacturers, according to the annual New Car CO 2 Report from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
Dingell, Congresswoman Betty Sutton, Congressman Jay Inslee, and Congressman Bart Stupak reached an agreement on a “Cash for Clunkers” scrappage program. Under the proposal, consumers may trade in their older vehicles and receive vouchers worth up to $4,500 to help pay for new, more fuel efficient cars and trucks.
In a move to take older vehicles off the road and spur new car sales, US Representative Betty Sutton (D-OH-13) introduced legislation today that will provide consumers a $3,000 to $5,000 incentive to buy more fuel-efficient cars, trucks or use mass transit. The bill provides graduated incentives based on greater fuel efficiency.
AB 118 funding also provides about $100 million annually to the California Energy Commission for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote fuel diversity, and up to $30 million annually to the Bureau of Automotive Repair for voluntary passenger vehicle scrappage programs.
The transit bus replacement funds will be administered through NYSERDA’s New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP), which provides point-of-sale rebates to reduce the cost for businesses and municipalities that want to purchase new, clean electric or alternative-fueled vehicles (e.g., commercial trucks and buses).
The circles represent the year in which new vehicle sales equal 100% alternative powertrains/fuel.

The scrappage scheme, which ended in March 2010, was a significant factor in this trend. The economic and political challenges of high fuel prices, energy security and climate change are shared issues that must be addressed at an international level.

A new study by Deloitte, the business advisory firm, concludes that despite rising fuel prices, the mass adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe is still some distance away. Just like the Government supported the highly successful car scrappage scheme, they should now be turning their attention to electric vehicles.
Empirical results also revealed that even if the fuel economy of less fuel-efficient ordinary passenger vehicles were improved to levels comparable with those of the best available technology, i.e. hybrid passenger cars currently being produced in Japan, total CO 2 emissions would decrease by only 0.2%. —Kagawa et al.
While scrappage schemes have the potential to deliver on objectives such as reducing pollutant emissions, these have not done so as well. positive results from targeted incentives based on fuel economy, even if these were. imperfectly aligned with fuel consumption or pollutant emissions.
