Seems like the 'cash for clunkers' programme was pretty successful, thou i know a lot of small time dealers who had a lot of problems trying to pick up used motors during the recession. .-= badger´s last blog ..Pimp My VW =-.

This scheme could also work with heavy trucks and vans - in the UK van sales are down 50% - and there are plenty of 20 year old ones running around! The average age of the truck parc is 8 years - with the massive steps made in recent years in emmissions technologies we could make a real difference to the environment.

The truth is, most cars produced in US of A are not allowed to run in the European streets as the are too fuel-consuming.. People here are indeed encouraged to save the environment and that does not apply tp cars only but also to fridges, washing machines and the likes.

Khaled, this is one government plan that I can live with. Instead of putting it in industry hands, where it will likely get mismanaged, the money can go to the consumer who will go ahead with a purchase which will stimulate the economy. I see this option spreading well beyond Germany and hope the the UK, US and Canada will follow.

This is a much better idea than just giving the auto industry big chunks of money to help them through the financial crisis. This is actually generating new car buyers for the industry and is achieving the same results with less outlay. I hope the UK government takes on board the example set by the forward thinking German government.
