Scrap your polluting dieselbil and get 5000 dollars in the hand

Scrap your old dieselbil and connector 5000 crowns into his pocket.

Such is the possibility from Friday, when the government increased skrotpræmie enters into force.

the scrapping premium for diesel cars from before 2006 will be temporarily increased from the previous level of 2200 crowns, which should boost the decommissioning of the environmentally harmful cars.

- We must have the most polluting vehicles away from the street, and therefore, the government has introduced a greater reward, if you make a green choice and stands by with his old dieselbil from an authorized autoophugger.

- We expect that there will be scrapped about 36,000 old diesel cars under the scheme, which will mean that we get far less air pollution in Denmark, says the environment and food Jakob Ellemann-Jensen (V).

the Older diesel cars are some of the largest emitters of the toxic NOx gases and other harmful particles.

the Government was last autumn, agrees with the Danish people's Party to speed up the process of getting the scrap the old diesel cars. It happened in connection with the fact that the parties made an agreement on the budget bill for this year.

There are about 150,000 diesel cars in Denmark, which is from before 2006. There is a total set aside 100 million kroner to the scheme, which runs on a first-come-first-served principle.

- The elevated skrotpræmie is open, as long as there is money in the pot.

- So if you have an old dieselbil standing in the driveway, I would urge you to make use of the possibility to get a little extra money with home from autoophuggeren.

2800 dollars extra is, after all, a spot that can be felt in most household budgets, says Jakob Ellemann-Jensen.

A dieselbil from before 2006 emits an average of about four times more NOx and significantly more particles than a new dieselbil.
