Vehicle Scrappage Scheme

The Government has launched a new incentive scheme offering £2000 discount on a new vehicle if you scrap your old car or van. As long as the vehicle is over 10 years old, and you have been the registered keeper for over 12 months, then you are eligible for the discount. New cars & vans (up to 3.5 tonnes) are purchased through participating dealers, who arrange for your old vehicle to be scrapped through an authorised facility.

The idea behind it is to reduce the number of older, less efficient vehicles on our roads, and helps you to reduce your emissions, and save money through lower fuel costs. Your scrapped vehicle will be broken up and as much of it recycled as possible. If you are considering a new purchase for your business, this is a great way of reducing your carbon footprint.
