Toyota has launched a new scrappage scheme providing customers with the chance to change their older, higher emissions vehicles for a new Toyota, including what the company says is the widest range of petrol-electric hybrids on the market.

Paul Van der Burgh, Toyota GB President and Managing Director, said: “Our scrappage scheme is a win-win solution. Motorists can dispose of their older vehicles and have access to our cleaner, more efficient model range.

“Our world-leading petrol-electric hybrids will be an ideal choice, helping make a genuine contribution to protecting air quality – a crucial concern for today’s customers.

“What’s more, everyone who takes up our scrappage scheme can be assured their vehicle will be disposed of in an environmentally responsible fashion that maximises recycling opportunities.”

The new scheme adds to a wide choice of consumers offers across the Toyota line-up, including zero per cent finance on a number of models, and is open to vehicles more than seven years old, registered to the current owner for at least six months.

All vehicles taken off the road through the Toyota scrappage scheme will be processed at authorised treatment facilities managed by Autogreen. After the safe removal of all pollutants and the recovery of retrievable parts, shredding and recovery will be handled by EMR. Toyota says that together these processes will meet the legal requirement of a minimum 95 per cent recycling by vehicle weight.
