Yangsan-si Supports Subsidies for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle Purchases

331 Million KRW Per Vehicle for Hydrogen Car Distribution

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Duyul] Yangsan City, Gyeongnam Province, will support approximately 7 billion KRW this year to supply 200 passenger cars and 1 hydrogen bus.

Since 2020, Yangsan City has been promoting the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle supply project to create a pollution-free, pleasant, and clean air environment and save energy. As of last year, about 6 billion KRW was supported for 179 vehicles to supply hydrogen cars.

Applications can be submitted through the zero-emission vehicle purchase subsidy support system at the dealership where the vehicle is purchased.

The subsidy support target for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is citizens aged 18 or older who have continuously resided in Yangsan City for at least 30 days before the application date, or corporations and public enterprises, who intend to newly purchase and register a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle domestically.

The application period starts from the announcement date, and the selection of recipients is based on the order of vehicle delivery and registration, regardless of the order of purchase application submission.

The support amount is 33.1 million KRW per vehicle, and the currently supported vehicle model is Hyundai Motor Company's ‘Nexo’. Additional models will be available for confirmation through the zero-emission vehicle purchase subsidy support system.
