The Motor Trade Association (MTA) has outlined details of a scrappage scheme to get greener and safer cars onto our roads and reduce the average age of the fleet.
Its proposals include offering consumers up to $2,500 to get rid of their old vehicles, with the cash then having to be spent on buying more modern and efficient models.
The MTA hopes a programme that targets vehicles more than 15 years old could be in place within two years’ time.
