Kia stated it expects to offer at least 4,500 Picantos as well as Rios up until the end of the year. It estimates that if each of the designs replaces a seven-year-old vehicle carbon dioxide emissions would be reduced by 1.6 metric tonnes over a similar period of ownership.
Kia’s president as well as chief executive Paul Philpott said: “A number of scrappage schemes – many applying only to bigger designs with higher discharge levels – have been introduced recently, however the Kia seven year switch scrappage plan is simple as well as simple to understand. It applies to all versions of the low-emission Picanto as well as Rio varieties as well as is guaranteed as long as the purchaser of the new vehicle is likewise the owner of the vehicle being scrapped.”
