Volkswagen Canada is pleased to announce the launch of the "Cleanest" vehicle recycling incentive program on the market. Our goal is to replace model year 1995 and older vehicles on Canadian roads with the "Green Car of the Year", the 2009 Jetta TDI Clean Diesel Sedan.
Volkswagen Canada, as part of their commitment to the environment, is offering discounts over and above any current incentives on the current 2009 model year Jetta TDI Clean Diesel Sedan. Combined with the $300 available from the Government of Canada's "Retire Your Ride" program, our customers will get $1,300 in additional incentives when they choose to go "Green for Clean" with Volkswagen.
About The Program:
Retire Your Ride is an initiative of The Government of Canada, Clean Air Foundation and its partners, designed to enable people to get their high-polluting cars off the road and reward them for doing so. The program is committed to improving air quality by responsibly recycling vehicles and aims to retire at least 50,000 vehicles per year until March 31, 2011.
If you have a car that needs retiring, we'll recycle its parts in an environmentally responsible way, and reward you for it.
Reducing Emissions and Saving the Environment
Did you know that 1995 model year and older vehicles produce 19 times more smog-forming pollutants than 2004 and newer models? In fact, these older vehicles make up one quarter of vehicles driven by Canadians and can generate as much as half of the smog-forming pollutants caused by personal vehicle use.
By ensuring that vehicles are properly recycled, we can prevent the release of toxins into the environment. By retiring vehicles earlier, you'll be helping reduce harmful emissions.
Who Can Participate?
1995 model year and older vehicles that are in running condition and have been registered and properly insured for the last 6 months are eligible for the program and participants can choose one of many rewards.
NOTE: If you are a resident of British Columbia, please visit www.scrapit.ca to view program requirements in your province.
Rewards
We offer participants a wide range of rewards to retire their vehicles. When you Retire Your Ride, we will ensure that it is recycled responsibly, and give you rewards that encourage you to use environmentally-friendly transportation, including a public transit pass or a membership to a car-sharing program, $300 cash or a rebate on the purchase of a 2004 and newer vehicle.
In some regions, you could also receive a charitable tax receipt. So, not only are you helping to improve the environment, you're contributing to charities.
