According to the ministry, the national car park renewal program met 87% of its objectives by September 3.

The 2010 clunkers program, which started on February 18, was allotted 722,000,000 lei (EUR1=RON4.2762), enough to scrap 190,000 old cars.

The 2010 clunkers program sets that in exchange for a scrapped car, owners receive a voucher worth RON3,800 but no more than three vouchers can be used to buy a new car.

The ministry said vouchers to buy a new car are valid until November 23, 2010.
