Vehicle Scrappage Programs in New Zealand: History and Impact Vehicle Scrappage Programs in New Zealand: History and Impact In recent years, there has been increasing concern over vehicle emissions and their impact on the environment. To address this issue, the New Zealand government has implemented various vehicle scrappage programs aimed at reducing emissions and promoting the use of fuel-efficient vehicles. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the history of these programs and their impact on the country.

The number for each car make is the total number of registrations in 2021. Make Count TOYOTA 29437 MITSUBISHI 20152 FORD 17279 KIA 10151 MAZDA 9258 NISSAN 8611 SUZUKI 8126 HYUNDAI 8120 VOLKSWAGEN 5452 HONDA 4110 How we determine vehicle popularity We make the assumption that registrations indicate popularity.
