Question 1

What is the vehicle scrappage policy?

Accepted Answer

The Vehicle Scrappage Policy was notified by the Ministry of Road  Transport and Highways in September 2021. It aims to replace old  vehicles with newer, more modern vehicles on Indian roads. Commercial  vehicles older than 15 years and personal vehicles older than 20 years  will need to undergo mandatory fitness testing. If they fail, they will  be treated as End-of-Life vehicles and must be scrapped through a  Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF).

A RVSF is a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility that aims to reduce  environmental impact through eco-friendly practices of recycling scrap  vehicles. It promotes a zero waste, zero pollution ecosystem.

Accepted Answer

The Certificate of Deposit (COD) is a document issued by authorized  vehicle scrapping facilities when you submit your old vehicle for  recycling. It mentions the details of your scrapped vehicle and serves  as proof of depositing it for scrapping. The COD allows you to avail  incentives like reduced road tax and registration fees when purchasing a  new vehicle.

Question 10

What is the Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS)?

Accepted Answer

The Certificate of Vehicle Scrapping (CVS) is a document provided to you  by the authorized scrapping facility after your vehicle has been  completely recycled and dismantled. The CVS serves as proof that your  vehicle has been responsibly scrapped, following all guidelines. It  contains details about your scrapped vehicle and the date of its  recycling.

Question 11

Why is it important to use authorized scrappers for vehicle recycling?

Accepted Answer

According to statistics, vehicle recycling centres collect enough  harmful fluids from their subjects each year to rescue the globe from  the equivalent of 8 Exxon Valdez events. Given the amount of  environmental damage caused by just one incident, it’s safe to say that  used vehicle reclamation is safe. Even in little numbers, an oil spill  from your old car in your garden poses a risk to the surrounding  ecosystem, not to mention curious kids. And hence it is essential that  one must always go with an authorized scrapper, like Eccel to ensure  proper collection and disposal.

Question 12

Why Is The Recycling Need Of The Hour?

Accepted Answer

We understand the sentimental value attached to a vehicle, but scrapping  it has some immediate environmental benefits. Companies that recycle  old and sometimes new but totaled vehicles play an important part in  maintaining the balance between what we take from the planet’s finite  pool of resources and what we reuse. If you’re thinking of recycling  your vehicle, here are THREE solid reasons why you should feel good  about it and possibly even recommend it to your friends and family.

Question 14

How does transitioning to efficient vehicles affect fossil fuel use and the environment?

Accepted Answer

As we phase out older vehicles, we also welcome a new generation of  vehicles with more efficient power consumption systems. Hi-tech vehicles  need less fossil fuel-based energy to drive around, which directly  affects how much oil fracking is required to keep businesses running.  When there are more electric cars on the road than liquid fuel vehicles,  the air will be more breathable. It would certainly help if we didn’t  have to mine all the metal to create such an environment.
