Phasing out Euro IV Diesel Commercial Vehicles - Registration Application for Vehicle Scrapping Companies

 

I. Application for Registration as Registered Vehicle Scrapping Companies (RVSCs)

With an aim to progressively phasing out by the end of 2027 about 40 000 Euro IV Diesel Commercial Vehicles (DCVs), including diesel goods vehicles, light buses and non-franchised buses, the Environmental Protection Department (“EPD”) launched the ex-gratia payment scheme for phasing out Euro IV DCVs (the Scheme) in October 2020.

Interested vehicle scrapping companies may apply for registration as RVSCs under the Scheme.
