Accordingly, if owners replace their old motorcycle with an electric model, they will receive a subsidy of 140 million tomans from the scrapping certificate. Hatami also emphasized that special facilities between 400 to 500 million tomans have been planned for active riders in distribution platforms and service platforms in metropolitan areas.
Targeting Air Pollution Reduction
Hatami announced the final target for this year to be the removal of 20,000 old motorcycles from circulation and said: "Plans have been made in such a way that at least 20% of the domestic motorcycle production capacity is dedicated to modernization and replacement." He hopes to see a leap in this area next year and to be able to remove up to 120,000 old motorcycles from circulation. With these actions, a significant step will be taken to reduce air pollution and improve urban living quality.
