Over 1,100 car dealers are expected to take part in the government’s “cash-for-clunkers” programme, the industry and trade ministry said in a report cited by Prime-Tass.
Under the programme, owners of cars produced in 1999 or earlier can receive bonuses worth RUB50,000 to buy new Russian-made cars in exchange for recycling their old cars. The government plans to allocate RUB10bn from the budget for the programme in 2010, according to earlier reports.
